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 0.9.9 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.
In contrast to Media Espresso, Handbrake is very well optimised for multi-threaded processors and demands a high CPU utilisation percentage.
Both of the twelve-thread parts take assertive victories in our Handbrake video conversion test. The faster 4960X outperforms the 3930K by around 10%, while it beats the 4770K's performance by over 20.5%.
