[FFmpeg-user] Easier way to display program execution time on Windows

[Francois Visagie]

Hi,

 

Following recent discussions about measuring execution time, I just
remembered that the command prompt is an easy way to display program
execution time on Windows. Execute:

 

prompt $P$S$D$S$T$G

 

This changes the command prompt to the form:

 

C:\Users\fvisagie 2012/09/18 10:55:50.45>

 

This makes it easy to read the system time before and after executing a
particular program.

 

As mentioned before, to display the current time at some point inside a
script, do:

 

echo. | time

 

Or to append that time to a log file, do:

 

echo. | time >>logfile.txt

 

Hopefully this is of some help.
