Video Encoding

DivX 6.5.1 with XMPEG 5.03

This test uses the latest DivX codec that supports multi-threaded encoding on the XMPEG application for easy encoding setup.  Here we had a 2 GB video that we asked XMPEG to convert the first 10,000 frames to DivX.

This custom test uses the standard Windows Media Encoder to convert a 720p HD video file to a 2Mb CBR DVD-quality video in two passes.

Interestingly, the GF6100 and the AMD 690 chipsets swap results here with a big win in favor of the AMD chipset in our DivX results.  We might be seeing an issue here in the DivX codec as I would expect these results to be much closer.
