This test uses mplayer's mencoder utility and the libavcodec family for testing the system's audio/video encoding performance.
To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark mencoder.
OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 445 public results since 7 February 2018 with the latest data as of 2 May 2024.
Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Mencoder 1.3.0 - AVI To LAVC) has an average run-time of 2 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.
Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 0.4%.
This benchmark has been successfully tested on the below mentioned architectures. The CPU architectures listed is where successful OpenBenchmarking.org result uploads occurred, namely for helping to determine if a given test is compatible with various alternative CPU architectures.
