    The x264 benchmark measures how fast your machine can encode a short, DVD quality MPEG-2 video clip into a high-quality x264 video clip.

    It will give you results in FPS that can be used to compare the performance of different CPUs and different CPU settings.

    Here's a quote from the article :-

    @chillinwitchu - thanks for the results... what o/s are you running? Also, the 4000+ is a single core chip, right?

    @MNOTDRPHIL and AMV - thanks for the results!

    Sorry :doh: i forgot my OS. Its Windows XP PRO W/SP2 build 2600.
    and yes, that is a single core. it is however OC'd. Stock speed is 2.4GHz.

    Error in package

    So I got the benchmark and it failed, after checking I found that although it includes a version of DGDecode.dll and instructions to install it it seems it does not realize there might be more locations where you have DGDecode.dll installed besides avisynth, and neither does it include dgindex.exe so I had to update those too in all incarnations I have (like AutoGK and StaxRip)
    Also I think the batch file should also use the path to the x264.exe rather than just using x264.exe, and perhaps the same for tee.exe for completeness.

    @Chai - Win XP SP2 32 or 64bit?

    Hi Wwhat. As far as I know, the default path for all plugins for avisynth is its %instaldir%/plugins so unless one has a line in the avs that says otherwise, it should assume that. An example of a non-standard one might be:

    Code:
    LoadPlugin("F:\AviSynth\plugins\plugin-xyz.dll")
    Also, dgindex.exe isn't required for the test. As to the paths in the batch file. I opted to place the exes in the /test dir just to keep the root of the test clean, although doing as you suggested should work just fine as well.

    My curiosity is why it doesn't run on your machine. Where did you install your avisynth? If you drag-and-drop the test avs (located in c:\work2\test) into mplayerc, what does it show as an error message (can you post a screenshot of that)?

    Cool, thanks for the data... do we have any Tech ARP members who are good with asp (I think you guys are using it) so we can bring the data out of a gif file and into a sortible table on the page? You know something akin to the Tom's hardware VGA charts... anyone?
