the compression between x264 vs video toolbox (h264) is insane. now for quality, i haven't compared too much yet.

OMG what a huge difference in speed compared to what i've seen w/ my intel/quicksync, intel 5820k hexacore, nvidia 2070 super nvenc, and ryzen 3900x 12-core. Honestly, I was expecting to reach full capacity for more than 5 or 10 minutes before seeing that heat is a problem, based on several device reviews I have seen online, pushing the apple silicon to its limits. i have a mac mini m1 and barely started playing with handbrake and video toolbox. My question is: having full CPU capacity for less than a minute, is an expected performance, or could it have some deficiency on their heat sink system that could generate this -poor- behavior? Since the last update in June 2020, numerous improvements and extensions have been submitted with the current version. I know that throttling down performance cores is expected on this fanless device. HandBrake 1.4.0 - Update for macOS, Windows and Linux versions The fact that the new HandBrake version is designed for M1 chips in newer Mac models is not the only innovation. Note: the whole body of the MacBook Air feels hot, according to read temperatures. When I start some video processing tasks (video reformat using HandBrake), performance cores kicks in to full speed, then, after about a minute or less, when temperature gets to about 95✬, 4 performance cores slows down to about half capacity and they does not get fully activate unless system cools down to ambient temperature again (by putting device to sleep). My MacBook Air M1 16GB normally stays at 35-43✬ at room temperatures of about 28✬.
