MXO2 Max
I’ve heard this .h264 converter is faster than real-time.
I’m curious if anyone has compared the processing power to a Qmaster compression set up?
I’ve got 16 cores available now for compressing and I’ll have 20 cores in the future.
At 1,000 kbps I can compress something (that is about 640×480) in 1/3 real time. I haven’t tried higher data rates like 15,000 kbps which I can see myself “mastering” to in the future.
Thanks, Dean

I have. It is faster. The test I ran was a 20 min ProRes 422 clip, compressed to iPhone. Compressor with all 8 cores going took 12 min. MXO2 MIni with Max took 8 min.

Where are you getting the other 4? Oh…word of warning with the NEW MacPros and FCS 3….and utilizing MORE than the 8 cores:

I agree with Shane. I’ve got the Matrox CompressHD card in an 8-core Mac Pro with 32 GB of RAM, and it blows the doors off Compressor with a quick cluster.

Ok. Thanks for the positive feedback.

Besides processing time, the quality is a bit better with Matrox Max.
