  1. I am using MeGui and Ripbot to encode my BD rips.

    Using MKV X264, High settings, Slower, 2pass 11000 for BD. etc Its doing the task in around 8-10 hours.

    My computer specs are Intel core i5 650, 6GB RAM. 2TB HDD. What do i need to do or upgrade to get the encodes down in time.
    3 hours would be acceptable lol.

    Is this down to my processor?

  2. What is your target file size?

    It's relevant inasmuch as a great deal of the extra time required for slower encoding settings is spent calculating/ allocating bitrate to best advantage. Still scenes need less, fast motion needs more.

    Now, if your target file size is, oh, more than BD9 size (i.e. ~7.95 GB, the size of a double-layer DVDR), then slower settings are a case of vastly diminishing returns. You might try dropping down your encoder settings one step and compare encoding times. View an encode with the faster setting to one done with the slower setting. You might find them indistinguishable on your display.

    When I re-encode a Blu-Ray movie to single-layer BDR with BDRB, I use the high-speed BDR option, one-pass. For the simple reason that the bitrate will be ample and it's unnecessary to closely calculate where to allocate every last bit. I cannot tell the difference on my new 65" LED-LCD. Most encodes come in at approx one hour on my machine.

    Good luck.

    A faster CPU is the only way to reduce encode times. Your i5-650 is a dual-core. Quad-core-i5-2500k for example. Your motherboard will likely accept the i5-2500k since your running an 1155 CPU. A 3 hour encode time requires a quadcore. Software tweaking will improve times very little. You want to use 2 pass?

  4. As fritzi93 mentioned above, if hardware upgrade isn't an option: instead of using "slower" settings preset, is to use something "faster"

    try --preset faster or veryfast

    Even ultrafast. And switch to single pass encoding -- CRF.

  6. Buy another PC (or strong laptop) and use Distributed Encoding in Ripbot264

    I have two PCs Q6600@3Ghz and Q8200@2.8Ghz and I get ~20 fps in Distributed Encoding mode (1920x1080 CRF22 Default x264 settings) instead of ~10 fps
