Planet Earth 1080p sample reference performance on Acer Aspire Revo [NVidia ION]
My virtual friend bingo_bongo challenged me to measure the performance while playing the Planet_Earth_From Pole_to_Pole_1080p_sample_16ref.mkv on my Acer Aspire Revo Single Core Atom Nettop.
Since my previous test was done on Window Vista, with a not-so-challenging sample like this one I’ve decided to give it a try on Windows 7 (32-bit).
I was using Media Player Classic Cinema with EVR Custom Presenter forced on DirectX 9, with MPC H.264 Decoder DXVA no FGT on NVidia ION driver 4318 (installed from K-Lite codec pack).
The subtitiles were on and working.
The video and audio was running perfectly smooth, on cascade ripples as well during the entire sequence with the birds.
Here is the CPU behavior (Kernel time in Red). I’ve marked with two arrows the start and the stop of the video. The high CPU spikes at beginning and end, were generated by maximizing/minimizing full screen.
My conclusion.
With proper codec configuration the NVidia ION on Single Core Atom is perfect for Full-HD playback.
New Track – Pianoteque
Believe it or not, this is CGI
As the author recommends: play it FULL SCREEN and HD. I would add: silence around.

New Track (with video)
Better mood, already … Better than last week
I’ve called it U There. The video was taken a year ago in Karlsruhe City Center, starring my daughter Daria some random people and a very nice dog.

Yes, I know… It is a very loooong and repetitive version. Didn’t have time to refine it and make it shorter. It is a draft, like almost all my tracks 😉
Google Map Saver Statistics
Few days and Google Map Saver did already spread around the world. This is the current map (yellow-no dowloads, green -> darker over 1000). A bunch of downloads commes from Italy, China, Japan and US (in this order).
New Track – Lazy Things
Roughly 2 hours of work and a glass of Whisky 😉
The winter is there and this song represents my mood these days.
Ipernity reduces the MP3 quality. I thinks is somewhere on 92kbps even I’ve uploaded at 256kbps
Enjoy!
PS: No time for equalizing.
