TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress
Version 4 of this video encoder integrates SSE4 optimizations in its latest patch. The test consists of the encoding of a 10 minute 16 second DV file in MPEG-2 format in 720x576 with an average bitrate of 4500 kbits /s and in 2 paths. The video preview display is activated during this test.
This time results are even more to Intel’s advantage because at equivalent prices, their dual core solution holds its own against AMD’s tri-core.
VirtualDub & DiVX 6.8
We now use the version 1.7.8 of VirtualDub and the version 6.8 of DiVX, which has SSE4 optimizations. We encode the same video source as with TMPGEnc in Fast recompress mode and with the DiVX 6.7 codec in one path with an average bitrate of 1500 Kbits /s, the highest quality encoding. Also, Experimental SSE4 full search is activated in SSE4 or SSE2 mode. The video preview mode is activated during this test.
SSE4 optimizations integrated to DiVX 6.8 enable Intel processors to hold a large lead.
