hi,
iv been using tmpgenc plus now for every movie i have ever encoded and it only very usually takes no more than 10 hrs for a regular movie. but this movie 'the godfather part 2' is giving me pretty bad probems (source video is avi and audio is mp3). im encoding it by doing an elementary video stream only and adding ac3 audio later when authoring. this is the 4th time im encoding it. the first time i changed the fourcc code from div3 to divx (i heard that tmpgenc encodes DIVX faster) so i left it to encode over night. the morning later i looked at it and it said that there was still 35 hrs left and the preview window just showed a completely black screen, i open up the m2v file and it just shows 3 hours worth of blackness. the 2nd time, i left the fourcc code to div3 and encoded the movie as normal leavin it overnight. in the morning it was done so i authored it and the resulting vob files showed me that the last quarter of the film was heavily out of sync so i looked at the m2v file that tmpgenc made for me and it turns out that it was encoded with audio (that was still out of sync badly by about 10 seconds) but the main point here was that it wasnt supposed to encode with audio because i did an elementary stream video only. so i deleted it and did it again, the 3rd time tmpgenc stopped halfway and said that there was no disk space left i checked the m2v file and it was 6gb! although i used a bitrate calculator to judge the video bitrate for a dvd and everything. i opened it up and strangely again it had audio with it. the 4th time i stareted encoding, left it overnight and now in the morning its done 30% and says its still gonna be 40hrs so i stopped it and opened the m2v file and again it has audio encoded with it.
I also turn the task priority when active and idle to highest all the time and switch off everything in the background
I dont know whats going on, somebody please help me

mub6,
You have a slow machine and a small amount of RAM.
Godfather 2 runs for 200 minutes.
Maybe you could try VSO DivXtoDVD (freeware) or better yet more advanced VSO ConvertXtoDVD, for that kind of conversion with your machine specs. -
