    I am converting 2 .avi files (that I joined prior) 128 min. 1.3GB TO DVD ffmpeg/mpeg2 for burn to DVD for TV. Progress at 50% @ 16 hours.

    I have used ffmpegX only a few times. I think I remember it encoded and compressed VOB files much quicker.

    I am on a maxed out B&W G3.

    Is this conversion a long one, or should I have added some setting beyond the defaults?

    The more I look, ffmpeg seems to be a well loaded app.

    Encoding video takes a long time. Doing it on a G3/350 in late 2008 requires extra patience. But I have no benchmark times to compare to.

    Maybe why it was faster when I 'encoded and compressed' VOB files for burn to DVD, was that I wasn't really encoding, just compressing? VOB to VOB. So going from .avi I should expect a lot longer?

    I'm not sure exactly what you did with the VOBs, or what tools you used for that, but it could very well be faster because of a different procedure.
