CyberLink MediaEspresso 6 is the successor to CyberLink MediaShow Espresso 5.5. With its further optimized CPU/GPU-acceleration, MediaEspresso is an even faster way to convert not only your video but also your music and image files between a wide range of popular formats.

Now you can easily playback and display your favourite movies, songs and photos not just on your on your mobile phone, iPad, PSP, Xbox, or Youtube and Facebook channels but also on the newly launched iPhone 4. Compile, convert and enjoy images and songs on any of your computing devices and enhance your videos with CyberLink’s built-in TrueTheater Technology.

We are using a 720P 1.1gb MKV file today at 43 minutes, 28 seconds in length. We are converting to a final output for an Apple iPhone 4, a real world situation facing many people.  For our audio conversion tests, we are using a 15 track album from MP3 to M4A format.

Both of these tests showcase the CPU processing performance of the system and are impressive for an i5-based system.  It's a shame we couldn't achieve a decent overclock with this system as these scores would benefit greatly.
