Why does handbrake encodes videos faster than ffmpeg?
greetings to all linux geeks,
I know handbrake uses all cores it finds to speed up encoding videos. But when ffmpeg uses all cores with the -threads 4 option it is still not as fast as handbrake. For example I ripped a two hour dvd in ten minutes with handbrake. Whereas, it took 25 minutes with ffmpeg with the -threads 4,-vcodec libx264 and -vpre lossless_ultrafast.
Ffmpeg is working fine of course, I am just curious why it isn't as fast as handbrake.
