Asus G73 Republic Of Gamers Laptop Review

Encoding is something most of us do on a fairly regular basis and it is a good way to monitor any fluctuations in performance across the range of motherboards on test today.

One of our favourite tools is the excellent, free Handbrake. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We extracted a VOB file from the DVD of AVATAR and then converted it to MP4 at quality settings.

While not in the same league as a desktop based Core i7 system, the Asus G73 gives a decent end result of 12 minutes and 31 seconds.
