    i need a fast program that can adjust brightness/contrast of my vcd/mpeg1 movies... im currently using tmpgenc with brightness/contrast adjustment but it's quite slow in encoding and applying the brightness/contrast adjustment...any faster program?

    could you point me to the guide on how to frame served virtualdubmod to a fast encoder

    i got mainconcept mpeg encoder will that do?

    thanks a lot for being so helpful

    Not sure about Mainconcept, but here is a general frameserving guide for Vdub. https://www.videohelp.com/virtualdubframeserve.htm

    Great! I have to admit I never tried it with Mainconcept. Good to know for the future that it works.

    oh and im planning to buy procoder2...slower. really! so im not going to buy anymore...

    can others verify this...that procoder is slower that tmpgenc. before i buy procoder 2...

    Taken from my today's task:
    Procoder 2 : 8 hrs 16 min estimated encoding time (not mastering quality, used what they call "highest quality" which is less then mastering) vs.
    Mainconcept 1.4 : 2 hrs. 8 min.
    same piece, same settings (PAL DVD 4.5 k avg, 6.5 max, 1 pass VBR).

    Take the procoder route, don't forget to have a gallon of coffee nearby. You're gonna need it.

    unless you have a warez copy of procoder 2 , procoder 2 is extremly fast ... even in mastering settings, 2 pass vbr on a dual xeon system ..

    you must have some problem with your setup as it is at least 2x faster than tmpgenc in highest quality mode ...

    mc and cce 2 pass are still faster yet though ..

    Never provided Tmpeg results so your reaction is premature. Just have it do some work and compare the time required. No warez at my workplace (what a blatant and rude comment!, don't do it again!).

    TMPGenc encoder is fast enough with the latest P4 (3.4 ~ 3.6Ghz) cpu. Hyperthreading and SSE2 can speed it up too.

    the warez remark is because someone said that a cracked copy of this software doesnt work (on the canopus forums) - so its a valid remark ....

    i compare ALL encoders -- pretty much all the time ... i have tested every brand and version pretty well known, both hardware and software ..

    BS! Don't try to lie your way out of this. You directly suggested that I use warez (for lack of a better argument). Now I expect that you strike your own bullshit post.

    btw, why did you just edit your post above from nice to nasty?

    anyway as a reply:

    If you can read well enough, i said:
    unless you have a warez copy of procoder 2
    Which means ONLY if you have a warez copy , that it may be the issue.
    Not that you DO HAVE a copy ...

    Just settle down - and don't be so defensive.

    I don't think any of them are "fast" in regards to filters. If you want fast, filter with a proc amp at capture.

    Isn't it funny how people react when warez is mentioned ?

    If you have a legal bought copy, what do you have to worry about ?

    Generally the people who get most defensive and reactive about warez are those who have them
    If in doubt, Google it.

    BJ_M, your comment doesn't deserve any better, that's why. I find it provocative (that was your agenda) and offensive. But you still don't get it, do you?
    If you decide to post incorrect and misleading comment that you cannot support do not revert to throwing punches below the belt. You could use a savoir-vivre lesson...

    Worry? ...you must be kidding. I get to use lots of stuff at my workplace. No need to buy Procoder. I posted elsewhere that I'm not impressed with it at all so why would I? It's slow as molassys and overpriced.

    Generally the people who get most defensive and reactive about warez are those who have them
    ... and where have you read about that? Do you have a degree in psychology or maybe an "insider knowledge"?

    I didn't see the intent from BJ_M. He was merely suggesting that in the past, warez copies can have issues. There was no inference that you have said warez copy.

    Just an observation. Hence the word generally. Not always the case, but generally. In my time at this forum, numerous people have been flamed about possible warez, fired up defensively and have ended up (stupidly) admittintg that it was in fact warez.
    If in doubt, Google it.

    Another alternative is to upgrade your PC is the latest Intel P4. With hyperthreading (HT) and SSE2, TMPEGenc can be quite speedy. On my P4 3.0C system, a 10 minutes (768 x 576) clips talk about 15 minutes to encode to PAL DVD using CBR.

    Don't delay this decision. better then a sleeping pill. At this price they go fast... so order your copy now.


    @jimmalenko
    I can appreciate your overly friendly assessment... but using suggestive expressions in this context can only be seen as insinuation.

    I guess so. As I said, just an observation. There'll always be exceptions to the rule.
    If in doubt, Google it.

    it was canopus people that say that the cracked copies are not 100% working -- you can read it on the registered owners only forum ... I post there as BJ_M also, if you want to argue over there also about something that is apparently a known fact.... I didn't make it up.

    thats why i posted such a comment and no other reason ... nothing misleading and to 99% of the rest of the population, apparantly not provocative.

    you could use a traité de savoir-vivre et netiquette yourself ..



    also - in both my experience and many others, procoder 2 is very fast, many reports there and elsewhere about this (including here).

    it also has superb quality and does extremly good PAL <-> NTSC conversions


    you can get the same encoding engine in express - though express doesnt have mastering mode and many of the other extra features ..

    PAL/NTSC conversion is good but not great (object edges are softer and fuzzy) . As to the speed it's been widely posted that Procoder takes over 2x (up to 4x) longer then MC 1.4. Just post your results for a specific encode and I will try to verify it (in comparison to MC).

    This is an excerpt from VideoSystems review:
    From my tests, there's little value in upgrading to ProCoder 2 for speed increases. I did measure speed improvements using ProCoder 2, but generally they were less than 5 percent compared with ProCoder 1.2 rather than 1.5.
    http://videosystems.com/mag/video_canopus_procoder_2/

    Since they disagree with your point of view the only conclusion is:

    They must have been running a warez copy of Procoder!

    So much for the myth of great speed of Procoder 2 that you are actively buiding for some time on this forum.

    Have you noticed that you cannot find any encoding speed comparisons on Canopus website even though they were posted up to ver. 1.5. Since there were so many users complaining about its speed the expectation was that with the release of the new ver. it will be improved. Instead, all references to Procoder speed that were on their website have been removed (I'm unable to find any).

    One more point, as opposed to the version you are trying to proliferate the (accepted) advantage of procoder over some competitors is not overall quality but rather low-bitrate encodes quality where it seems to do a really good job. In the 6.5k Mbits and above its advantage is an expensive myth rather then reality.

    If jimmalenko's appearence here counts as 99% of population in your opinion then we have a little problem. You plus 99% and we have a complete population

    I agree with the assessment of PAL <-> NTSC.

    This is by far one of the top performers in terms of encoders.
