[MPlayer-users] Encoding too slow on AMD Athlon 64 3000+ comparing with Pentium Celeron M 1, 4

[Martin Kamín]

Hello again,

I didn't find solution to my problem on the internet, maybe somebody will help 
me here. Mencoding is *really* slow on AMD Athlon 64 3000+ comparing with 
Pentium Celeron M 1,4 - lets say 3-4times slower

The whole process runs well and it is done well, but comparing encoding time 
on my Athlon 63 3000+ with old Pentium Celeron M notebook, diference is 
really HUGE.

Encoding of my 1 hour movie is done within 4 hours (6-8 frames per second) AMD
Encoding of my 1 hour movie is done within 1 hour (24 frames per second)  
Pentium Celeron M 1,4

Any ideas?
Martin


I'm using following script to make xvid from mpeg's
OPSNY="bitrate=1000:pass=1:vhq=1:me_quality=6:trellis:chroma_opt:max_bframes=0:hq_ac"
mencoder ../$file -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3:br=96 -ovc frameno \
-o frameno.avi
mencoder -msglevel all=-1 -quiet -noaspect -oac copy -ovc xvid \
-xvidencopts $OPSNY:pass=1 ../$file -o /dev/null
mencoder -msglevel all=-1 -quiet -noaspect -oac copy -ovc xvid \
-xvidencopts $OPSNY:pass=2 ../$file -o $file-final.avi

i'm using CSV version of mplayer and mencoder on the both machines!

As you can see, there are a lot of optimisations for AMD switched on (by 
autoconfigure - I did't touch it ever)
