Testing Methods

We bench using Windows XP Service Pack 2, and the latest video card drivers. The driver settings were left at default, and transparency-sampling anti-aliasing was left off.

HQV

To rate the video as objectively as possible, I'll be using the HQV benchmark DVD, a collection of clips that highlight the many processes involved in video playback, and then rating them based on my findings, using Cyberlink's PowerDVD codec. HQV uses a collection of clips that are visually assessed. Most of the tests are scored as pass or fail, and the number of points each clip is worth varies depending on the importance. For example, jaggies can be severe and are easily noticeable, so getting a pass there is worth more than getting a pass on noise reduction.
