How can i encode dvds using nvidia6800 hardware?

[leftiszi]

Hello guys. As the title suggests i do not understand how can i encode dvds into divx, xvid etc using the built in hardware in nvidia 6800. Can anyone HEEELP? Thans.

Read the excellent tutorials at:

Well the first thing i did before posting here was to look at the guides but i didn't find anything. Could you send me a direct link to the guide you saw info on how to use nvidia's hardware to do the encoding? Thanks.

p.s. Strangely enough, google does not return any useful links on nvidia 6800 dvd encoding.

the decoding of mpeg2 streams (dvd) in the encoding process (dvd->xvid/divx) could use video card hardware capabilities but I don't know any program like virtualdub that uses such an acceleration.

as far as i know, a graphics card's decoder would only be used in video playback, or output to another device, such as to a tv through s-video

it would mean that programmers can't get uncompressed frames from hardware decoder output and have to use a software decoder...
