[MPlayer-users] Using the D510MO Mini-ITX platform for full HD playback

[Rolf Ernst]

Indeed, h.264 is pretty CPU intensive although the x264 encoder (the one 
used in ffmpeg and mencoder and most open source tools) can take 
advantage of multiple cores. I run it on a AMD quadcore 9750). DivX/Xvid 
will encode faster and so will MPEG2 but the quality will be noticeably 
worse than h.264 at the same size.

But np, I will sent you the command line later (have to do some more 
actual work that pays ;-). Btw, YAMF only does VP8 and h.264 - I sort of 
think everything else is pretty much obsolete these days ...
