In the Radeon HD lineup you can find the exact same video decoder chip in the $50-70 cards as you'll find in the $500 cards ;) The decoder chip is NOT the same as the GPU. Currenlty of course the video cards won't help with encoding... another 6mnths from now it will though ;) Make sure you have a hardware DECODER though for playback while encoding ;) helps a ton
