As playing in a media player can only do so much, would be easier with some number crunching instead.

For benchmarking codec speed, it is best to eliminate all other factors, like:
- Disk access
- Other frame processing
- Rendering
- CPU frequency scaling
etc.
So I would use a ramdisk at minimum, and preferably some command line app, like vdub with sylia script, or my avibench tool or similar. Make sure to avoid comparing apples to oranges, I mean set up all codecs the same way regarding color spaces and conversion (so to avoid situation where one codec compresses YV12 because of implicit conversion, while another YUY2, etc.)
Also, make sure to set your PC to performance mode (max CPU freq) to get consistent results.
For starters... :-)
