    I'm guessing since encoding you'll be using most of the cores for a long time?

  • NyrNyr Community Contributor, Veteran

    You need a dedi.

  • NorrisNorris Member

    I'm using scaleway to be cheap and do not need a very fast conversion.

    In scaleway, I tested ffmpeg and converts to 19 frames per second.
    Debian Jessie, 6 cores x64 (VC1L)
    With ffmpeg convert video 30fps 720p

    I'd suggest a dedicated server if the budget allows or at least look towards a guaranteed/dedicated core VPS to avoid breaching any limits on shared CPU based instances.

    Does scaleway have any tos/aup that keeps from using the core for a long time?

    Scaleway offers dedicated servers so you can do whatever you want with the cores. They do have a VPS line but not sure if they allow 100% use on those.

    I don't know if they'd be happy with someone using so much CPU

    OP go for a dedi

  • bacloudbacloud Member, Patron Provider

    For encoding - dedicated server only. VPS is not designed for that.

    yes it uses 70%-90% cpu, no money to buy big dedis with 32gb+ and 1tb hdd+, it's not needed for me.

    they don't have windows vps

  • What is your budget?

  • rokokrokok Member

    And you do not need Windows for encoding.

    Get lost or go back to wjunction

    not fixed, maybe 20.

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    Could you use just a single 3.5Ghz core that you can use 24/7? I can do that for $15/month. 2 threads for $30, etc.

    I do not know for sure.

    I will start using 100% during this week. If you notice any problems give.

    maybe you should ask them how much is 8 vCores = how much real cores

  • Just tried a scaleway arm baremetals and it was way too slow for transcoding x264 to x265. It was doing about 8-10 fps. I'll be trying out their x86_64 core system to see how much better it performs.

    For video encoding you might better find a dedicated something like i7 2600 (http://ark.intel.com/products/52213/Intel-Core-i7-2600-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz) which has GPU -Intel HD2000 capability (I think there are similar thread comparing 2 proc which share the same aim was to encode)

    x265 is always very slow, have you tested it on other servers?

    Definitely it is. But that's super slow still. My e3-1230 does about 75 fps and my dual x5650 does about 150+ fps.

    Of course using my own boxes would work but rather offload the cpu abuse to something else.

    EDIT: e3-1230 does about 150 FPS and the dual x5650 does about 250 FPS.
