DVD2SVCD, it take more than 5 hours to encode a 45 mins dvd?

[thecalip]

I want to know if it's normal for DVD2SVCD to take more than 5 hours to encode 45mins of dvd?

I have p4 1.8 256 ddr.
only option that i had change is FRAMESERVER, I change it to BICUBIC RESIZE

How many passes did you perform? What other options did you use? Subtitles? Typically I'd say it should probably be a bit faster than this. Typical ripping time (dvdrip, sub extraction, audio conversion, mpeg encoding, muxing / splitting, sub-muxing, cd image creation) takes about 12 hours using a 5-pass VBR with Bi-Cubic resizing (using CCE for encoding). I have a AMD Athlon 1.2Ghz oc'd to 1.35 Ghz, 256MB DDR RAM, UDMA100 HD.

4 pass vbr with bi-cubic. everything is default. no sub or anything. using cce too.

but 45 mins take more than 5 hours on a p4 1.8, it's just take too long

I don't use DVD2SVCD but CCE and I run at 1.5 times RT (Athlon 1.4GHz) so a two hours movie about 7 hours with 5-pass encoding (add 1h30m for making the Huffyuv AVI file w/ Precise BiCubic Resize).

45 mins take more than 5 hours

You're using 4-pass -> It takes same time to encode 5 x 45 = 225 mins 1-pass VBR (~ 0.8 RT). That's not too bad. I get about the same speed with my thunderbird 1,2 GHz (256 MB PC 133 SDRAM), and if CCE isn't SSE2 optimized (I have no idea if it is, and I don't care) then these figures are ~ right.

Are you by any chance using temporal cleaner? It will slow down the process.
