Re: [Avid-L2] Canon C500 MXF to 6.5.x MC (Windows)

Hmmm - Just looking at AvidMXF creator - This is really cool.
I hate using AMA native - I have a wicked fast computer with tons of RAM
and very fast bus and AMA is still impracticable as a playback method. I
always transcode.
So I'm liking this idea - Does it use GPU to process as well or only CPU?
