Quick sync works as well. I think it is the first free software to get quick sync support. Really very well done.

What is it exactly?

Handbrake is a video encoder. capable of advanced commands.

but GPU encoding is not the same quality as CPU. it may be fast, but fast aint better.

this is not doubt a good improvement, but not a thing of joy for the quality junkies, including me. :\

Huuuh??

^^You mean quick sync has bad quality??

 

[anirbandd]

I dont say it.

The figures say it.

Google for GPU encoding vs CPU encoding. There was a Tom's Hardware comparision, afaik.

and for definitive proof, you should visit the IRCs sometime.
