[FFmpeg-user] OpenCL? What Effect Does It Have

Unrelated to my question.  I don't use deshake and I don't
use unsharp.  That's why I listed the filters I do use: so that
someone can tell me whether or not OpenCL will improve
performance for those filters (and codecs).  That was my 
original question.

No.  Not unrelated to my question.  In fact, that is my question:
Will ffmpeg+OpenCL improve the performance of the filters
and codecs I listed.

But I don't expect ffmpeg is faster then mencoder.  Possibly,
ffmpeg+OpenCL is faster.  That's the original question.
My original question was whether ot not ffmpeg+OpenCL
will improve my performance.  Will it?

I already know how to use mencoder.  Why learn another
tool which uses, as you claim, the exact same source code?
 
But that's besides the point.  The original question was whether 
or not ffmpeg+OpenCL will improve my performance.  Not whether or
not it makes sense to switch from mencoder to ffmpeg.
