Matrox CompressHD card dramatically improves H.264 encoding speed

Matrox Video Products Group has announced the CompressHD for Mac, a new PCI Express (PCIe) expansion card that greatly speeds the encoding of H.264 video. It’s coming in May with a suggested retail price of $495.

In a press release announcing the device, Lorne Trottier, president of Matrox, indicated that an 20-minute H.264 Blu-ray movie will take approxmiately 90 minutes to encode on an 8-core Mac Pro. With the card installed, that time has been reduced to 18 minutes.
