I think you might be thinking of the 777. The 777 is fitted with a TAC (Thrust Asymmetry Compensation).
That applies rudder in the event of an engine failure. Watching that video, that pilot was extremely quick to get the rudder sorted. Great job.
There is thrust asymmetry compensation on the A330, but it may be gated to above 100kts, not sure, so hofer may be right. I'll pull out my course notes when i get a chance and see what they say. T/R deply, 100% from the front office, and nice job, but as hofer stated they train for RTO's all the time.

Thanks
