AMD X2 5200+ using Ipod hi-rez... 35 FPS

[displacedtex]

Machine Type: AMD x2 5200+
CPU Speed: 2.6 GHz
Number of CPUs: 2
Rip Format: mp4
Encoder: x264
Video Size & settings: Ipod hi-rez preset
Quality / Bit Rate:n/a
1 or 2 Pass:n/a
Min/Max or Average Frames Per Second (FPS): Average 35 FPS using compiled svn

I am running CentOS 5.2 64 bit on an AMD x2 5200+ (dual core 2.6 ghz processor) with 2 GB of 800Mhz RAM using my new GIGABYTE GA-MA78GPM-DS2H motherboard.

I am mostly transcoding directly from DVD to x264 to be played on my wife's Ipod touch and my computer using the Hi-rez preset:

Code: Select all

./HandBrakeCLI -i DVD -o ~/Movies/movie.mp4  -e x264 -b 1500 -E faac -B 160 -R 48 -f mp4 -I -w 640 -m -x level=30:bframes=0:cabac=0:ref=1:vbv-maxrate=1500:vbv-bufsize=2000:analyse=all:me=umh:subme=6:no-fast-pskip=1

So I got about 30 FPS using the pre-compiled download vs 35 FPS for the latest compiled SVN version.

Just a data point.

I am waiting for my new AMD Phenom 9550 quad core to come in. I am very interested to see how fast the quad core is at transcoding!!

As I replied in your other post before you put it here:

Well, you are likely not using the same svn rev. The latest precompiled dev snapshot is 1477 and depending on what rev you got when you said "latest compiled SVN version" there could be and are numerous changes. Not the least of which is a much newer version of x264 which is more optimized.

So if your talking about speed just in respect to a precompiled downoad from the website vs. compiling from source yourself, you would want to compare against the same svn rev, otherwise your results are very skewed.
