Mencoder

This test uses mplayer's mencoder utility and the libavcodec family for testing the system's audio/video encoding performance.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark mencoder.

Performance Metrics

Mencoder 1.3.0

AVI To LAVC

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 435 public results since 7 February 2018 with the latest data as of 30 September 2022.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Mencoder 1.3.0 - AVI To LAVC) has an average run-time of 2 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.

Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 0.4%.
