Mencoder OSX CommentaryPathetically slow on dvd - Version: 0.7.7, 12/13/2004 06:51PM PST

Well, I use mencoder in Linux and in OSX so I can compare; on the same dvd on an iMac G5 1.8gHz I get a mere 10 fps encoding from dvd.
Exactly the same command line on a Toshiba Satellite P4 2.4 gHz gives me 35 fps.... uhm, and I believed the bs about the ghz of the G5 being worth more! In fact I can confirm (also checking with md5sum's, maple etc..) that a single G5 at 1.8 ghz is about half or a third the speed of a P4 2.4ghz. Sorry for the bad news!
A good news is that for anything else (OS related) my iMac is far superior to a PC-based OS. Ah, if only OSX would be released for PC's!!!

Also note (a bug?) encoding from dvd is MUCH slower (about half speed) than encoding from hd (I mean I first copy on hd the content of the ts folder and then encode). I can't say if it the dvd's fault or mencoder, or OSX.

Mencoder OSX ReviewToo many problems - Version: 0.7.7, 1/1/2004 03:55PM PST

Seems to lack the stability and superior quality of MPlayer. My Audio disjoints from the video on certain DVD rips, despite the settings. Still, it gets the job done a portion of the time. Thanks for all the work you've done.
