    Hello,
    I was converting 2 hours of captured footage to XVID using Virtualdub using the filters: deinterlace, resize, HSV adjust, and sharpen. is it normal to take so long? it took 13hours to convert, is their anyway to make it convert faster. (i was using xvid codec with two pass conversion)

    Hello,

    Well two pass conversion means your going over the video more than once hence it will take more time. Also if you don't use any filters and do fast reprocessing (I think that's the selection) it will speed it up. And there's always more RAM and a faster CPU

    Video takes time - no way around that

    If you capture in YUV, then use avisyth because it can work with YUV.

    For your conversion, virtualdub convert YUV to RGB, then apply the filters and convert back to YUV for the XVid codec.

    The YUV<->RGB takes a lot of CPU time. WIth avisynth it will be minimum 2 times faster.
