Elgato has released an H.264 USB stick . What does this mean to you? Well, a USB stick would be second best to an internal chip but the effect is the same.
Instead of using your processor to encode and decode video, this Turbo 264 offloads the job so you're free to do other things. The implications of this are recording a screencast in real time, or doing real-time transcoding of various content that you can stream to your Apple TV. Or, you can just use it (rather boringly) to make videos for your iPod and iPhone fast.
For now, it's only available in Europe for 99 Euros. And I think it is only for OSX. (BUMMER!)
Works with iMovie, FCP, QT Pro, and EyeTV

I hate to mention this, but I think this was covered in a Mac Forum post a while back: https://forum.videohelp.com/topic329495.html#1703293
It would be interesting if they come out with a MS version, though. -
Whoops, sorry. Didn't know. Just stumbled upon it and thought it was tres new info. Shows how much I know about the world of Mac. Yes, I DEMAND they come out with a PC version

Not a problem. Now that guns1inger has linked to a PC version with the same idea, it still makes interesting news.
