How to use this tool

  1. Estimate processing time for media duration and observed encoding throughput.
  2. Set media length, source frame rate, encoding throughput in the indicated units.
  3. Calculate and compare estimated processing time, speed relative to realtime.

Try this example

{
  "duration": 600,
  "source": 30,
  "encoding": 120
}

Accuracy and scope

Idealized educational model. Enter measured values in the displayed units; real systems may require additional corrections.
