Workstation-class GFX card needed with hardware video compression - advice?

Building a workstation for a friend... the workstation is not for 3D work its mainly large-scale photoshop and video-editing.

Is there a graphics card around, or perhaps add-in board, which provides some hardware compression/decompression along with it?

Cheers for the help in advance...

Arnt Matrox card king of 2D and the like? sorry i cant give even a semi decent answer
but see what you can find at the matrox site.

I'd go with Matrox if you're video editing..
