Initial work on the AOM AV1 video encode test profile, but not too practical yet given the current extremely slow speed of the encoder, etc. So mostly a placeholder until that code is in better shape.

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

AOM AV1 3.12

Encoder Mode: Speed 6 Two-Pass - Input: Bosphorus 4K

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 38 public results since 13 February 2025 with the latest data as of 16 February 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.

Detailed Performance Overview

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (AOM AV1 3.12 - Encoder Mode: Speed 6 Two-Pass - Input: Bosphorus 4K) has an average run-time of 2 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.
