Read more of AnandTech's review, "GPU Transcoding Throwdown: Elemental's Badaboom vs. AMD's Avivo Video Converter."  This review is more in depth and highlights Badaboom, showing that  now there are "video converters available on both sides of the aisle."  Badaboom's performance was superior across the board.  Many features are still being worked on, but as you will find out it has improved by such a large amount since the original beta that there is no doubt this application will  become as indispensable to you as the portable media device you using it with!
