Performance
Decoding speed depends on encoder option, video type, video scene, etc...
This table shows average fps, so you may hear stutter audio if you use this framerate.
(Lower video resolution or framerate in that case)
Software decoding in this table uses only one thread not multi-threaded decoding.
