Interesting that they mention Intel QuickSync acceleration. Also interesting is that it mentions Apple with MainConcept. So is that what Compressor is using now?source includes names of test sequences and frame sizes used.

Very cool, Craig. Thanks for the share – reading over now.
And here’s to Dr. Smirnov and the boys @ Moscow State! If nothing else, that would be a cool t-shirt. 😉

Craig how are you using x264, the MyCometG3 plugin or a GUI or…?
I noticed they mentioned 2 GUI implementations, do you know of any good free x264 GUI programs besides Handbrake?
Just curious.
Thanks
