I found this test quite interesting. Me and my sister are addicted to a tv show called Prison Break. She owns the first two seasons, so I decided to make backup copies on my computer via Handbrake. There are so many discs that I decided to get four computers together and rip one disc on each. I used: Powermac G4 533MHZ 1.25GB ram, Powermac G4 DP 500MHZ 512MB ram, Powermac G3 beige with G4 500MHZ upgrade 640MB ram, and a PowerBook G4 1.67GHZ 1GB Ram. I have tried many different presets on handbrake, and finally decided to use the iPod High-Rez but I uped the bit rate to 3500, and the video size to the maximum possible. Each computer has a que of 4 episodes. Once the first episode finished on the powerbook i played it to make sure it was going to work. The episode was incredible quality, but it was choppy. Keep in mind that handbrake is still ripping other episodes as I played the other episode. I copied the episode over to the powermac G4 533MHZ and it played even worse. Then i copied the episode over to the Powermac G4 DP 500MHZ and it played perfectly!!!!! How did the powermac play it better than the powerbook???-Jonas
