VIdeo Conversion
Our video conversion test uses VSO Software’s ConvertXtoDVD software. This application takes advantage of all four cores on each processor and allows us to convert almost any video file format to DVD. Our test file was a 104Mb, 720p .mkv file lasting two minutes forty-six seconds.

Music Conversion
Our music conversion test takes a 15 track lossless album and converts it using CD-DA convertor into 128Kbps Mp3 format.

In both encoding tests we see the HyperX memory produce faster conversion times. When performing the video work the difference is four seconds and audio, despite being a longer test, is only 3 seconds. The main finding that we can take from this test is that the tighter timings of the OCZ memory are almost able to cancel out the advantage the Kingston modules have in MHz.
