I have been really disappointed running DVDFab on my late 2013 Mac Pro. Even though it have 6 core Xeon X3, 2 dual AMD Firepro D500 graphics cards, 16GB RAM and SSD Drive, DVDFab is limited in the speed of encoding.
I know the graphics chipset does not support hardware encoding but even with this disadvantage DVDFab takes 1:57:03 to encode a file 1:27 length file encoded at 896x504 h.264 to h265. An average of 18.9 frames per second. Even lightning-shrink did not get used.
Adobe Media Encode 2019 Version 13.0.1 on the other hand only takes 20:32 to encode the same file to identical h265 encoding settings settings.
Adobe must be making use of the Dual FirePro D500 graphics cards and 6-core Xeon X5 using the Apple Metal API but a difference of 6 times faster than DVDFab!
I am guessing that DVDFab is only looking to support iMacs where they can get extra processing power from the different Chipset but it looks like I may have to ditch DVDFab and move to Adobe Media Encoder.
Has anyone similar experiences using DVDFab on a Mac Pro to encode videos?
