Asus P8Z77-V LK Motherboard Review

HandBrake is a fantastic free program that can be used to convert video files to many common formats for portable devices. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multi-platform, multi-threaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We used the latest V 0.9.8 version.

For our testing today we are converting a 4.4GB 720p MKV file (1h:58mins) to MP4 format, using HandBrake's ‘Normal' profile, for playback on High-Resolution devices. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.

HandBrake shows a slight variation between the two Z77 motherboards' performance. In reality, the performance difference of around 2.6% could be down to random errors and certainly isn't indicative of a noteworthy problem for the P8Z77-V LK motherboard.
