tetubleu Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I saw on Macbidouille this bench : We have performed some encoding tests with QuickTime Pro 7.0.3, Handbrake (a recompiled version supporting H264 baseline) and ffmpegX. The computer used was a PMG5 dual 2.5GHz, 4.5GB of RAM with a 74GB Raptor. Hereafter are some results : Source 1 : Trailer high definition Ice Age 2 (H264 1080p), time 2'15''. With QuickTime 7 Pro in MPEG4 480px : 4'15'' With QuickTime 7 Pro in H264 320px : 13'30'' (http://hardmac.com/news/2005-11-02/#4685) I downloaded the same trailer, and my P4 640 takes only 11'30 to encode it in H264 320px ! ( with 10.4.1 updated with 10.4.3 and Quicktime 7.0.4 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzmad Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hi there ... this is weird ... !!! more feedback and investigation would be good!!!! I now did a test in OSX86 10.4.3 native+Maxxus patch and OSXPPC 10.4.3 Hardware is: PC: Intel 915GUX motherboard + Celeron D 2.8, 512MB DDR2. Mac: Dual Core G5 2.0, 4.5GB DDR2. I encoded in Quicktime from a .DV source file into H264. Same file both machines, same settings. Quicktime OSX86=7.0.4, Quicktime PPC=7.0.3 now ... the benchamrks PC = 10':04" Mac= 2':25" I don't know what is the problem but a G5 dual core 2.0 is more than 4 times as fast. Xbench gives me on PC a total score of 58.54 I think you should do a better test with your DP G5 2.5 .... :-) Cheers I saw on Macbidouille this bench : We have performed some encoding tests with QuickTime Pro 7.0.3, Handbrake (a recompiled version supporting H264 baseline) and ffmpegX.

tetubleu Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Can you encode Ice Age II 1080p (the trailer, available on apple.com) to 320*177 H264 ? I guess you're Celeron is too slow... I have a P4 3,2 Ghz 2 MB L2 and my Xbench is 110, so it's a lot faster... Celeron has a very very very little L2 memory (256 Ko for the Celeron D 2,8 I guess) .............. And do you have SSE3 ?

( with 10.4.1 updated with 10.4.3 and Quicktime 7.0.4 ) I can't believe that a P4 is faster than a dual G5 2.5Ghz. Do you realy have a G5 or do you just assume that your P4 is faster?
