http://techreport.com/articles.x/23324/1 has some examples of video transcoded by CPU and various GPU solutions. Some of the differences are quite significant. (washed out, jaggies)
Their conclusion: "For the time being, the best option for quick, high-quality video transcoding is unfortunately to buckle down, get yourself a fast CPU, and run the best software encoder you can find (which may be Handbrake)." It is unfortunate that they chose to scale the output, preventing comparison with the actual original. And I didn't see any mention of AMD/ATI's UVD or Broadcom's Crystal HD. Still, does anyone disagree with their conclusion? Will using the CPU always be the best choice for quality, or does the GPU software just need improvement? Implications for OGP? _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
