It's 1000x562.

If you look, their CPU encoding screenshots have huge differences, when they should in fact be deterministic and thus bit-exact... IMO that completely invalidates this test.


No, just bad programming...

And in the GPU comparison segment, the biggest mistake:

Anyone ever use Photoshop? Have you played with the Levels filter? Yup, that's where this difference comes from. See, most videos have a luma level range of 16-235 (TV), where the value 16 is considered to be #000000 (black) and 235 is considered to be #FFFFFF (white). PC video has a level range of 0-255 (0 is black, 255 is white), and so, it has to be scaled from 16-235 to 0-255 so that the blacks and whites are where they should be. If this is not done, then the video looks washed out (dyed gray), because the blacks are assumed to be at 0 while they're actually at 16, and so they are closer to white than they should be. The opposite happens with the whites - they're assumed to be at 255 while they're actually at 235, so they're closer to black than they should be.

This is almost never an encoder error (because it shouldn't care about the level range), so... probably playback error on the author's side (read: he changed something which made it like this).

Credit should be given where credit is due, but this time it's not.

But anyways on ATi Avivo converter, it barely uses the video card, only a little bit. It was using my quad 50-65% usage when converting

for smaller files yes. but for HD video, no; thats where the GPU encoding leaves CPU encoding in the dust.
