GPU conversion sucks. It is still slow as cpu and the quality epic sucks

As mining profits shrink I'm trying to think of some other cool ways to use my system. I noticed that DVD Fab and a few other applications can utilize ATI GPUs for converting video. I wonder if I can put the 10k+ stream proccessors in my mine cart to use compressing blurays in a few minutes time. Anyone have any experience with these applications? Do they support multiple GPU's? Any Linux based software out there?
