[FFmpeg-user] what's the best hardware build out?

[Shawn Evans]

Thanks for the info!  Yeah, I was considering the AMD 8-core chip over the
i7-4790k, but everything I was reading was suggesting the i7 over the
9370.  I was also wondering if disk would make any difference for this type
of FFMpeg task, i.e. SSD over SATA?
