2500K transcoding

[john_p]

Just wondering what sort of transcoding speed (fps) I can expect from a stock 2500K processor, 1080p video into Xvid at lower res, for a DLNA server, ffmpeg on Windows

It'll be in a P67 board, so no Quick Link cleverness I think.

Its pretty darn fast.

Add in overclocking (at least 4.5GHz) into the mix and you have a very quick transcoding CPU.

If I can give you one bit of advice and that is don't bother with XVID's this is 2011 not 2003. You can transcode to xvid's using only 2 cores whereas speedy MP4's & MKV will make full use of a quad core.

MP4 and MKV aren't video formats, they're containers. You're thinking of H.264/AVC, which can be encoded using the open-source X264 across 8 or more threads. I get well over 100 fps for SD encodes and 70-80 fps for 720p.

DivX/Xvid can still be useful though - my sister's laptop for example can handle 720p DivX/Xvid but not 720p AVC. It's also compatible with some DVD players and the like, for those without other methods of video streaming to TVs.

X264 is the business! amazing compression.
