Real world trailers have the issue that the
encoding complexity goes up
and down, and DVD-o-matic only shows a short-term average (?), but not
a 'full-encode-average'. E.g. the encoding frame rate goes up during
the many fades to black in the SINTEL trailer. Would also be nice if
the footage was 1998*1080, so that all scaling etc. would 'naturally'
be off.
A quick test encoding of the SINTEL Trailer shows that the encoding
speed runs up and down between 1.1 and 4 fps - so it is unusable as a
benchmark. At least if you want to benchmark the fps display during the
encoding and not the total encoding time (which is 12min24s = 1,68fps
total average).
I would have expected to use total encode time; as you have pointed out, I
think if you wanted to use instantaneous frame rate you would need
something very simple like white-noise video, or whatever. That trailer
is perhaps a bit skewed by having quite a lot of
white-text-black-background frames.
