I have a feeling that while Core i7 runs better for W7, it is because Microsoft optimized W7 for Core i7. And for a basic answer, encoding = turning a file of one format into another. decoding = taking formatted file and turning it into a more understandable format for a program to use. basically opposite of encoding. Codexs are useful because they tell multimedia software how to decode a specific file type into something it can play. |
read the PC World article attached to it, hell I'll link it sigh =/

tbh I don't think Intel gives a 2 rat's ass about Linux compared to Windows, but not many big companies do. and encoding is very different because I've done video encoding for over 10 years by now, there are far more options and tunning involved depending on how you want your final product so it's more complicated where as decoding is a much simpler process, they probably used the 4.1 profile without much tunning in this case though but I doubt most viewers realize how much work actually went behind it and how much more time and power it takes.
