It's XP, not Windows 7 or 8.1. If they want to stick with such an old OS why do they want the latest in everything else? If the computer really is that old, I douby encoding 1080P would be that productive. Not saying 1080P or 720P encoding with x264/x265 is impossible, just not practical. If it manages the speed it's likely the quality settings are so low that encoding at 480P would give much better picture.
What wrong with using older, compatible versions? If the old versions are so bad, why still run XP?!
