[FFmpeg-user] Throughput /Performance isssue

Wed Jan 23 19:55:32 CET 2013

Hi Guys,
I am using ffmpeg for my trans coding and see some beard behavior, If with the previous versions of ffmpeg and libx264 i do transcoding it takes x FPS to complete it. when with the latest ffmpeg which has lot of assembler modifications should improve my trans coding time together with FPS. I did see my FPS goes about 30% better compared to the previous trancode but Throughput which is (MBPS per CPU percentage) goes higher by 45%. which is surprizing me?
Could someone suggest me the reason behind it? Looking forward for the response. He is my ffmpeg command line with new and old ffmpeg+libx264
