just wondering what most people use for settings on VCD/XVCD's. I've been working on making a video cd of an episode of the simpsons (captured from camcorder in Premiere, 720 x 480), and set bitrate at 2000, quality at high, and two filters (deinterlace and increase of contrast), and resolution at either 720 x 480 or 352 x 240 (i tried 2 times). It takes 4 HOURS to encode 10mins! is this normal for everyone else?
my comp: 1.2ghz athlon, 20gig 7200rpm hard drive. i recently had to return a 256mb SDRAM stick and right now am using only 64 while i wait for the replacement, does memory affect encoding times that much?

it depends on system speed and the video. A video with more detail and motion will convert slower than one without My duron 88 encodes pretty quickly. I usually average 24fps. the average low action 2hr movie takes about 2.5hrs. those filters sure do slow ou down too though.
I encode 320x240 with mjpeg(morgam multimedia. default settings) with virtualdub. no filters.

no filters? what about deinterlace? im a little new to this, but i know i should use deinterlace because when you pause a movie when there's motion, there are many lines around that part. is this just optional then?

This is why I (try) to capture with my Radeon board using Progressive NTSC, MPEG-2. So I don't have to inverse Telecine, all that.
When I did some episodes off my Monty Python DVD, they were straight-up interlaced, and I couldn't do Forced FILM on them... so I have to IVTC in TMPGEnc. I just did "auto", and it worked fine, but I had to run a 30-min. episode through for well over an hour, just to IVTC! I'll bet your "deinterlace" is doing that to you.
Otherwise, each filter in TMPGEnc SHOULD only add about 1x length of single encode to your time. That is, if your movie takes 30 minutes with no filters, it'll take 60 min. with one filter, 90 min. with 2 filters, etc.
Mine, for a 11-minute cartoon, takes 50 minutes or more (2-pass).
BTW: Isn't 2000 bitrate overkill for the Simpsons? Or just trying to have 1 CD = 1 Episode?
