UserBench Encode 2009 for Linux – Update
While the Windows version of my new benchmark, PC User UserBench Encode 2009, made it okay onto the February 2009 cover disc, the same unfortunately can’t be said for the Linux versions.
Somewhere things went pair-shaped and the files that turned up on the disc were incomplete, hence the problems trying to install it.
Apologies to all – sometimes these things happen.
Anyway, the solution is the .deb Debian-install of the benchmark can be found here while the .tar.gz generic version can be downloaded here.
Again, apologies – this wasn’t the way we planned it.
The download files are exactly what SHOULD have appeared on the cover disc and are built from the same source code as the Windows version. No changes have been made so they should install and perform exactly as prescribed in the story on page 52 of the February 2009 issue.
Hopefully, this problem won’t happen again.

Over the last few days, I’ve been inundated with emails from readers asking about their individual UserBench Encode 2009 score and whether or not it’s any good.

Um, I downloaded the update from here installed it on my system which is 6 years old and running ubuntu 8.04, apparently the old beast encoded the video in 3 seconds at 1976.82fps.

Go to Terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type:
locate libpthread
Let me know what it finds.
Also, check to see the output of FFmpeg on the main screen – let us know what it says when each test is run. There’ll be some sort of error message that crops up.
