And easy way to speed up conversion for idiots like me....

[Macros746]

Hello folks,
thought I'd drop this bit of wisdom since I feel like such and idiot for
not doing it sooner. If you haven't defragged your harddrive recently...
do it. I defragged mine for the first time in a few months (which, considering how many file additions and deleltions occur during our
various encoding projects, is a looooooong time) and suddenly all of
my encoding programs jumped considerably in speed. Now I'm not
talking twice as fast and TMPG is still too damn slow but it was a noticable
increase on all encoders. So, although it's obvious and you all probably
are religious about this, give it a shot and see if it doesn't help

Another easier way to keep that speed if you have the room is to create a partition for just doing videos, that way when you are done you can just delete all the files and start with a fresh, clean partition.

Wanna tell me how you would get a faster pc by not defraging your hard drive. So when i do defrag my pc what the performance and speed up are all in my mind
