slow encoding

[sethakan]

I trie to make vcd but can't make the encoding to mpeg-1 to work.
I have tried TMPGEnc a few times, and it never works, It just cant open my divx files. So I can't get it why everything circles around that program.
I have now also tried the Premiere 6.0, It should be better. Yes It is possible to open my files there but it takes like 27hours just to encode one movie, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!!!!

First, Make sure you have the DivX codecs installed, this may help woth you not being able to open a compressed avi.

As far as it taking you 27hrs to convert....that seems way to long. I have a Duron 800 w/ 256mb pc133 and it takes anywhere from 3 to 6 hours to encode a DivX to SeVCD depending on the movie.

I have 384Mb ram and 733MHz, My XP is just installed at a brand new 7200rpm 40Gb harddisk. I do have the Divx codec.

I quess you get that i am a newbie, and It feels like Inever will be able to see my movies at the vcd-player

Try opening the DivX in VirtualDub, then Frameserving to TMPGEnc, guides are at doom9.org . Also make sure you've installed the VFAPI Plugin for TMPGEnc.

Acually i think I am getting some where!!
Just one thing, when i started the frame server, opend my .avi file renamed it to movie.avi and started serving nothing happend, it just said 0, 0, 0. But then i tried to open the 38Kb file movie.avi in TMPGEnc (it worked) and choosed preview and play, it suddeny started to count in the frame server. (Is that what you ment with saving it to tmpgenc??). I cancelled and tried to encode it, same there It worked, If i start the encoding the frame server starts and if i stop encoding the frame server stops. Is this right?? Please say YES!

That's how it should be
