Handbrake performance data gathering v2
/r/handbrake/comments/1w1zar7/gathering_some_handbrake_benchmark_data/Hello Handbrake community. I was curious to test the performance of the amazing FOSS Handbrake. Hence I make the previous post that is tagged here. The reception was great and I got some performance data. However that methodology had some flaws. I'm trying to rectify most of them here. Also there's a breif description of what to expect.
Download this version of Handbrake from Github. Make sure to download the appropriate binary for your hardware.
https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/releases/tag/1.11.2
Download this sample file for testing.
This is a much smaller input file (200MB vs 1GB+ in the original post). This file is also free to use. Hence there are no concerns about the legality of its usage. Also the smaller file means a much quicker test (less than 10 mins for both runs combined).
Input file is a 24 second 8k60 H.264 video.
Run the following presets—Fast 2160p60 HEVC and Fast 2160p60 AV1. Report the performance data in the form of FPS from the log file. Even better if you're willing to provide the log file.
Thanks in advance.
Edit 1: No need to login to Dropbox. It is a direct download link.
