Setting Up the Benchmarks for Storage Reviews
Video Muxing Test
This test represents the scenario where you may need to combine two separate video files or combine various audio and video streams to form one video file. The people who do a lot of video encoding go through this often in their day to day computing.
The videos used here are various trailers obtained from Divx7 Showcase page and “Just HD” section of Apple’s trailers webpage. Seven 1080p Full-HD video files were used in this test. The list along with size is shown below.
The software used for this purpose is called MKVToolnix. MKVToolnix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska (.mkv) files under Linux, other Unices and Windows. Version 2.9.7 was used for this purpose. MKVToolnix can be downloaded from here. The interface is pretty straight-forward; just drag the input streams to the input file box, set the file name and other tags if you want and click “Start Muxing”.
