The latest H264 encoders use Nvidia graphics cards as hardware accelerator.
that is so specialised, if you design that sort of soft, then yes, maybe
you need to be wizard in x86 asm:

Do they use asm? perhaps?

I don't know about them, but to my knowledge ffmpeg and mplayer use a
lot of asm.

As far as I know, there isn't much of automatic vectorization in C
compilers either, so any non-trivial use of SSE and such needs hand
coded assembly.

OTOH, I think there was a fairly recent "survey" on slashdot about
assembly. The result was that few slashdot readers use it, but then I
read it as "slashdot reading perl and php coders don't use assembly".
Kind of no brainer...
