Hi,

Could you please add a link to this offer? Not sure what you are referring to – and a Search on CreativeCow did not help me finding.

Thanks,

This came from a Creative Cow advertiser e-mail

Thanks! Much clearer now.

I did not get the CreativeCow email, however what I understand:

– this SDK helps developers implement video encoding and decoding programs taking benefit from GPU acceleration of Intel graphics cards

– it does not support (yet) nVidia and AMD GPUs.

– so far, Intel does not even support OpenCL for its graphics cards (OpenCL is the language being used by Vegas to access both nVidia and AMD GPU parallel computing capabilities).

So, unless I missed some important point in the email, this SDK by itself does not really compete with Vegas. But it could be used in a future version of Vegas to leverage the power of Intel graphics cards for H264 rendering for instance (or H264 events decoding).

Hope this helps,
Frederic
