Fastest H.264 Computer/Software/Method
Hey guys, general question. Couldn't find a good answer from searching
In your experience what is the "fastest means" of encoding h.264 today This means computer (pc vs. mac - certain video acceleration options) software (compressor/sorenson etc). This would be for use with bluray/hd-dvd in the near futre. Source footage is HDV I work in Final Cut Studio (5.1) and typically compress using compressor for mpeg2 - but in the limited tests i've done on a G5 (SP 1.8) mpeg 4 h.264 takes quite long (well known info). Naturally a faster Quad Mac would be simple solution - but what are the alternatives? Anyone compressing h.264 in a "PC" while editing on a MAC FCP5 or using some other software aside from compressor to do this? Any hardware acceleration options available today? Anything on the horizon that you have heard of ? Many thanks Paul |

On the PC side I've heard that Power Encoder MPEG-4 AVC Edition is a good solution. The quality is supposed to be as good as Apple's H.264 codec, yet it encodes very fast (nearly real-time on an Intel D820). Mind you this information is second hand; I haven't tried it myself. But a free trial download is available for anyone who's interested.
