Vista 64 bit (success)

Next, I wiped the drive and installed Vista Business 64 bit SP1. I ran the Vista updates (still SP1 though), installed the latest ATI Catalyst drivers, installed Premiere Pro CS4, ran the updates, and opened a new HD AVCHD project I had been working on. I tested encoding a 1 minute video in 1080p, 720p, and PAL DV High Quality, first using the standard H.264 encoder, then the AMD Fast H.264 encoder. Here are the results:-

AMD Fast H.264 encoder

1080p - 53 seconds

720p - 55 seconds

standard DV - 55 seconds

Standard H.264 encoder

1080p - 2 mins 5 seconds

720p - 2 mins 3 seconds

standard DV - 2 mins 5 seconds

So I am seeing a 230% speed increase, or in other words, it takes less than half the time to encode video using the GPU. The videos produced are of high quality and free of artifacts.

I have AMD CPU but Nvidia card so can't test it.

Well I have a intel cpu and a ati5850 card and the plugin says to me it's only licenced to amd systems, seems like amd is finding another way to get more people buying amd products.
