But his year old nVidia card won't be doing that. Also, don't forget
Apple don't make the proprietary hardware they used to - modern Macs use
nVidia graphics cards too.

Last I checked, Apple did not have DXVA, nor anything like it.

In any case, my point is simply that video cards DO have lots "to do with
the encoding/processing of converting DV into a video DVD". Even if "Gig"'s
computer doesn't support it (and you don't know that it doesn't), the fact
remains that DXVA is a reality today.
