Proposed deletion of Fastvideo SDK

Regarding deletion proposal of the Fastvideo SDK page.

First, I have reduced the amount of links pointing to the authors of the library to make it look less affiliated.

Second, let me explain a bit why there's a lack of external links and unaffiliated coverage of the library as well as benchmarking results.

The Fastvideo SDK is a commercial proprietary library widely used by many software companies including major ones like Nokia, Ximea, flickr, Yahoo and many others. However, most of these companies do not allow mentioning their names/brands in any marketing and/or publically available materials. (And by the way I will have to delete these names after you read this). This makes it hard to prove that this library is indeed has notable importance. One sign of importance is that the library is included into Nvidia's catalog of Gpu accelerated applications which has a very stringent conditions for include. You can't just get into the catalog without proving worthiness of the library first and showing real results. Moreover, currently the catalog lists five Fastvideo products, not just one.

As for benchmarking results, there are very little benchmark comparison available for any CUDA library, not just Fastvideo SDK. Simply because there is little to show. You can see for yourself, just google some "CUDA JPEG benchmark" or whatever. However, Fastvideo SDK does have results to show. It indeed currently implements the fastest CUDA JPEG/JPEG2000 codecs. The results are indeed 5-10 times better than anything else on the market including other CUDA solutions. For the reasons stated above, there are no third-party tests publically avaiable. However, the Fastvideo SDK benchmarks were presented on the Nvidia's conference (the links to the correspinding presentations are available in the article), and Fastvideo authors were *invited* to the conference. Again, if Nvidia's own invitation and acknowledgement is not notable and reliable enough to prove worthiness of the library, then what is? Provided we are talking about the library 100% based on Nvidia's technologies. Also, the fact the the library delivers the fastest performance is surely interesting for large audiences.
