LAME MP3 Encoding

Theres nothing to see here move along, please. All five of our competitors score more or less identically.
XviD Encoding With Auto Gordian Knot

While we only have XviD results available for three of our five motherboards (XviD was not always a standard motherboard benchmark in our lab), we can see that the P5RD1-V is a full minute behind the AA8XE and nForce 4 for Intel reference systems.
TMPGEnc MPEG2 Encoding

The lack of results for our Gigabyte 8ANXP-D and Soltek 915GPro-FGR is for the same reason as above. Here the P5RD1-V manages to hold its own, losing to the top-notch AA8XE only by a meager 15 seconds for a nearly 10-minute-long encoding process.
