The latest release of Elemental Accelerator gets high marks from High Definition for PC (HD4PC) in a review posted on September 1st, 2009. The author highlights the peformance gains available with GPU-accelerated MPEG-2 encoding:

"My 3Ghz 8-Core workstation can already encode my HD timelines to MPEG2 for DVD faster than realtime, but with the Elemental Accelerator, I was able to cut the time for a two minute export from 1:27 to 30 seconds.  On a two hour clip, that would be a thirty minutes instead of an hour and a half."

The peformance boost Elemental Accelerator brings to mobile platforms is also called out:

"...the GPU can accelerate the processing intensive AVCHD decode, as well as the MPEG2 or H.264 encode...If you frequently make these types of exports from a laptop with a Quadro GPU, this plugin will be worth it."
