Hello all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I recently upgraded HandBrake on my mythbackend server to 0.9.2. One |
| 4 |
thing I noticed that I thought was strange was that this new version |
| 5 |
used something called "Cache64" when encoding x264 video. Trusty Google |
| 6 |
was... not so helpful in finding out what this is. The only reason I'm |
| 7 |
asking is because I don't understand why a 32-bit dual CPU Xeon system |
| 8 |
(P4 variety) uses this extension and my Athlon X2 doesn't. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I don't see anything resembling this extension in /proc/cpuinfo (on |
| 11 |
either machine,) and so I'm left wondering what it is. Also, I happen to |
| 12 |
know that my Athlon X2 has pni, aka SSE3, and yet when I compile |
| 13 |
HandBrake it doesn't make use of this (while taking advantage of SSE3 on |
| 14 |
C2D systems.) I was wondering if this was simply because I didn't have |
| 15 |
pni in my USE flags, or whether this could be caused by something else. |
| 16 |
HandBrake uses jam to build, so would I have to compile jam with SSE3 |
| 17 |
support for things it builds to use them? |
| 18 |
|

As always, all help is appreciated, no matter how biased it may be. ;-) |
