Badaboom Media Converter with FREE 30 Day Trial


Introduction:

quote:
The Badaboom™ Media Converter formats video and audio files for a variety of devices using a process called transcoding. In the old days of video, there was broadcast television, VCRs, and that’s about it; video came in very standard flavors. With the proliferation of digital media players came a similar proliferation of video formats, making for widespread incompatiability. Badaboom™ is the solution to this incompatibility: it takes video files from any source and formats them for a wide variety of devices.


quote:
Badaboom is an easy-to-use, fast media converter for portable devices. Unlike most software programs which use your computer’s central processing unit (CPU, made by Intel or AMD), Badaboom’s video processing is done using NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPU). By taking advantage of the hundreds of stream processors in the NVIDIA GPUs (up to 240!) transcoding speed is greatly improved compared to traditional CPU-based software solutions and your CPU is free to be used for other tasks. Badaboom ’s high quality baseline H.264 encoder and 2 channel stereo output are specifically targeted at portable media devices such as the Apple iPod devices and Sony Playstation Portable.


Features:
  • NVIDIA CUDA - Transcodes videos using your GPU's stream processing cores, rather than your CPU. With NVIDIA CUDA technology, you can transcode videos up to 20x faster than when done on your CPU.
  • Input video formats - MPEG2, H.264, RAW*, HDV, AVCHD, MPEG1, WMV, VC1, DivX, Xvid, FRAPS
  • Input audio formats – AC-3, MP2, PCM, AAC
  • Input file types – .m2v, .mpg, .vob, .avi*, .trp, .ts, .m2t, .m2ts, .mpeg, .mts, .mov, .mp4, .mkv, .wmv**
  • Input resolutions supported – 1920 x 1080 (1080P) and below
  • Output video formats supported – H.264 (MP4) Baseline Profile, H.264 (MP4) Main Profile
  • Output audio formats – AAC-LC (2 channel)
  • Output resolutions supported – 1920 x 1080 (1080P) and below
  • Hardware compatibility – Badaboom is compatible with all CUDA enabled NVIDIA GPUs which are described on the NVIDIA website.
  • Software compatibility – Badaboom currently supports Microsoft Windows only. Windows Vista 32 bit, Windows Vista 64 bit, Windows XP 32 bit, and Windows XP 64 bit are supported

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:
  • 1.6 GHz Intel or AMD dual core CPU
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8 series or later CUDA enabled GPU
  • Windows XP 32-bit or 64-bit
  • Windows Vista 32 or 64-bit

Recommended System Requirements:
  • 2.4 GHz Intel or AMD dual core CPU
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT/9800GT or later CUDA enabled GPU

I used it...pretty neat if you buy the real version, but the trial version gives a watermark on all the vids, and I think there are not enough encoding settings.

Also, if you have a registered EVGA 9 series or later GPU, you get a $10 discount on Badaboom, making it $19.99.

However Badaboom uses CUDA, which means it runs on the GPU. You encode at over 120 FPS.

I use Format Factory. It is also free. That encoding with your gpu sounds like a good idea though.
