Reprogramming the USB Block Erupter?

[Bitcoinbernd]

Is it actually possible to reprogram the Block Erupter USB-Sticks to perform another task... lets say video encoding?

no.  The chip is not a general purpose processor, nor is it programmable like an FPGA.  ASIC = Application Specific Integrated Circuit.  The physical chip is designed to do SHA256 and nothing but.

Yeah only fpga can do other jobs.
