speed of conversion

[dunehopper027]

Why does it take to so long to convert from avi to mpeg with tmpeg. it takes about and hour and a half for one part of the movie. is this normal and is there any other faster programs out there.

Only hour and a half, that's fast alright. for someone might take 7-8 hours to convert only 1 hour movie. Or some might take day. lol

There are two converters that are quicker:

xing is 2 times faster and cost is around $250 dollars
cinema craft almost 4 times faster cost is around $2000 dollars

Now this is the reason most people use tmpgenc FREE.

You should peek at the comparisons page as well. (look left)

The other thing you can do is get a faster processor the are getting cheaper by the day.

Hope this helps

P.S. I should take my own advice it takes 6 hours for me to convert with my 400 mhz. But I'm not complaining 8 hours(2 hours to download) to get a free movie isn't bad.
