New benchmark mode added (Stanley posted on November 7th, 2008 )

A new task mode, benchmark mode, has been added since build 4210. In this mode, MediaCoder can be used to benchmark your hardware with media transcoding based on the your transcoding settings. During the process, the media content will be transcoded as in normal mode. The difference is there is no file created on hard drive and a benchmark result will be shown on the end of the procedure.

The steps to perform transcoding benchmark are as simple as following:

  1. Add files used for benchmarking
  2. Set up transcoding parameters
  3. Set task mode to “Benchmark”
  4. Click Start button to start benchmarking

The geographic distribution of MediaCoder users (Stanley posted on November 2nd, 2008 )

MediaCoder does not collect or submit any user information, even anonymously. The following statistic data is estimated from the percentage of visitors (data provided by 3rd party Google Analytics and Easy Counter) to the MediaCoder Full Pack download page at http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/dlfull.htm. This indirectly reflects the current geographic distribution of users (assuming that most people don’t just visit the download page for fun).

Distribution by contintent:

Eastern Asia 24.0%
Northern America 18.8%
Western Europe 16.2%
Eastern Europe 12.1%
Southern Europe 10.1%
Northern Europe 6.3%
South America 5.9%
