Default x264 Benchmark

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 :-
Quote:
"What's x264, you ask? It's more or less the next-generation Xvid/DivX codec. I think it's ideal for a benchmark because the application (x264.exe) reports fairly accurate compression results (in frames per second) for each pass of the video encoding process, and it uses multi-core processors very efficiently."

Different architectures. Speed is no longer a good measure.

@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!

Exclamation 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.
