Video encoding with NVIDIA ION

Hi,

I have a ZOTAC computing board (with Intel Atom 330, 1.6GHz and NVIDIA ION GPU). I wanna perform a benchmark of CPU vs GPU video encoding. Can anyone suggest how can I do this? Which codes are video encoding formats are supported by NVIDIA ION? Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Regards,

Khan

Most encoding effort these days is going into H.264 (in one of various container formats). There are a bunch of CPU-based encoders based on the x264 library. The only CUDA-based encoder I’ve heard of is:

That would probably be a good starting point for comparison.

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is that it doesn’t have any option for CPU-only processing (without CUDA). How can I benchmark then?
