View Full Version : H.264/AVC CPU load newbie question

I made an AVC encoding with Nero, but when playing it back I noticed that the CPU load was about the same as when playing back an XviD encoding.

As the AVC compression is more efficient I would have expected the CPU to work harder to decode it.

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick...?

Thanks for any info.

What PP are you using to decode xvid?
What in-loop setting did you use when you encoded with AVC?

maybe you made a mistake and encoded by using neros mpeg-4 asp codec (not the avc one)?
