[MPlayer-users] mencoder speed.

Hi,

you should find the best codec first (probably -vc ffdivx) and also include
video out and sound, to get the real playback performance of your system...
(also include sound and video card info)

anyway, Gabu should create some docs about the benchmarking process, to get
comparable results.
