Well, not only MPEG-2, you can use the GPU for accelerate almost any
mathematical function. For example, check, this pdf
http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/ger/research/pub/pub2000/VisSym00hopf.pdf#search=%22opengl%20wavelet%22
where a method for calculate wavelet using OpenGL is showed (note,
only mathematical and some timings, not code). Using GLSL (OpenGL
shading language) you can make a GPU program that can calculate the
wavelet of any image.
At http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~ttwong/demo/dwtgpu/dwtgpu.html you
have opensource c++ code for implement DWT on Nvidias GPU and a
JPEG2000 library, jasper, that uses it.
