You can them Burn DVD's in close to or better than real time at least I can using a 2.4Ghz Celeron. What would be really cool would be a hardware transcoder card that could not only decode the most popular formats but also re-encode them to a choice of formats in real time or better. My standalone dvd/hard drive recorder can do something similar by only MPEG2 to MPEG2 formats so it must be possible.
