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 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.
New and Improved Features
- Ultra Fast Media Conversion – With support from the Intel Core i-Series processor family, ATI Stream & NVIDIA CUDA, MediaEspresso’s Batch-Conversion function enables multiple files to be transcoded simultaneously.
- Smart Detect Technology – MediaEspresso 6 automatically detects the type of portable device connected to the PC and selects the best multimedia profile to begin the conversion without the need for user’s intervention.
- Direct Sync to Portable Devices – Video, audio and image files can be transferred in a few easy steps to mobile phones including those from Acer, BlackBerry, HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and Palm, as well as Sony Walkman and PSP devices.
- Enhanced Video Quality – CyberLink TrueTheater Denoise and Lighting enables the enhancement of video quality through optical noise filters and automatic brightness adjustment.
- Video, Music and Image File Conversion – Convert not only videos to popular formats such as AVI, MPEG, MKV, H.264/AVC, and FLV at the click of a button, but also images such as JPEG and PNG and music files like WMA, MP3 and M4A.
- Online Sharing – Conversion to video formats used by popular social networking websites and a direct upload feature means posting videos to Facebook and YouTube has never been easier.
For our testing today we are converting a 3.3GB 720p MKV file (2h:12mins) to Apple Mp4 format for playback on a portable device. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power. We are using the newest version which has been optimised for Sandybridge processors.
Nvidia Cuda acceleration is disabled, then enabled. Both times are recorded.
9 minutes and 4 seconds with hardware acceleration disabled is a very good result, one of the best you are likely to see. When we enable the GTX580 hardware acceleration however the time is reduced significantly to 7 minutes and 23 seconds. Using an ATOM powered system, this same test takes 1 hour and 20 minutes. Ouch.
ASUS rock, nuff’ said.
I really do like the new bios configurations, the change from the pants style blue screen was long overdue.
The biggest problem with buying P67 right now is Z68. Is a newer product. no one will be buying until its released. even if its pointless, which I have a feeling it is.
Asus make good boards, its all about the bios stability and power delivery and this product has both.
Good product, but the pricing just keeps creeping up on these boards, everytime I look, its £10 more for xx feature. I remember last year a good board was £120-130.
I always buy asus boards but im waiting to see z68
The auto overclock optioms are good cause i suck at overcockimg. Is 1.48 volts safe enough long term, seems high
I like the power configurations now, mobo manufacturers got wise in recent years
I ordered one of these a while back and got it replaced for the b3 version, had no problems from scan.
Great board, ive my 2500 at 4.7 with a coolermaster cooler
They are expenisve in my country, gigabyte are normally better value
i really love Asus you’ll find almost all you need in there products, Quality & performance thats what they have.
