FFmpeg
This is a benchmark of the FFmpeg multimedia framework. The FFmpeg test profile is making use of a modified version of vbench from Columbia University's Architecture and Design Lab (ARCADE) [http://arcade.cs.columbia.edu/vbench/] that is a benchmark for video-as-a-service workloads. The test profile offers the options of a range of vbench scenarios based on freely distributable video content and offers the options of using the x264 or x265 video encoders for transcoding.
FFmpeg 7.0
Encoder: libx264 - Scenario: Live
OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 245 public results since 5 April 2024 with the latest data as of 5 January 2025.
Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
