How fast would an Athlon XP 3200+ encode 13GB of video compared to a 3.2GHz P4 "C"?

Just wondering...

According to Anand...

The 3.2C is about 45% faster than a 3200+.

What is the format of the source video? What is the intended formayt of the target video? What are the quality settings to be used? Any filtering or post processing? Resizing? Finally, what is the program to be used for the conversion.

I posted before that those video benchmarks are useless in my opinion.... fastest settings? I will buy their 80+ fps when they encode at high quality WITH audio also.....

I don't honestly know. It will be coming from my Sony DCR-TRV22 camcorder and be going onto a DVD. I didn't really think that far ahead.

Coming from the camcorder will surely be DV type I (3.6 MB/s, directshow, audio in the "video" portion of the AVI container intelaaved). What is the program you will be using to convert it to DVD?

Will you be buying the computer based on the decision? Will you be filtering to make it brighter, soften grain, apply titles and transitions or just encode directly?

Aparently easy and straight forward, but not so fast. If you have roxio videowave 5 or older, no matter the settings or format it will encode faster in the Athlon....

That's what I noticed about encoding in that dual Opteron vs Xeon article linked to on the main site. Encoding performance mainly had to do with what format you were encoding to, etc. Sometimes the Opteron was much faster, sometimes Xeon.
