Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H Motherboard – packs a punch at £80

Handbrake is a fantastic free program which we wanted to include to confirm findings with Media Espresso, earlier in the review. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We used the latest V 0.9.5 for testing today across all platforms. We encoded an DVD.MPG file.

The system takes 4 minutes and 50 seconds to complete the task, which is around 4 seconds faster than the Core i7 2600k clocked at 4.8ghz.
