AVIVO Video converter was advertised saying that it use X1x00 cards (one of the main reason I upgraded from 8500LE to X1600) to improve performance of conversion, and now you are saying that it does use the video card at all to accelerate the conversion. What's the deal? Is ATI going to release a version which make use of the processing power of it videocard someday??
About 650 VS 550, would there be any reason to upgrade if we only use anolog feed, or is the 650 targeted at the digital feeds mainly?
