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

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.

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

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. ;)
