  1. I have a 1.2gig athlon with 256 meg of ram running windows 98se.

    I am using TMPGEnc to encode and the counter is at 16hrs 42min to get to 1.5hr mark of the souce file.

    I am using 2 pass vbr and motion search set to highest quality.

    Is this normal?


    thanks

  3. Advanced settings are:

    DC component precision 10 bit.
    Use floating point DCT
    No motion search for picture part by half pixel
    Field Order bottom first

    GOP settings
    I picture =1
    P picture=4
    B picture=3
    output interval of sequence header=1
    Max frames in a gop=0
    Detect scene change


    thanks for any help

    max frames in a gop 0 means there is unlimted number of frames in a gop .. set this to 15 instead

    Becuz you use 2 pass vbr which will take as twice much time compare to CBR, CQ, then I would say 16 hrs is pretty normal. Another factor would be motion search precision, if you set to highest (very slow) it will take lot longer than higher or normal.

  7. Actually I did read the guide for dvd2svcd, which is the only reason that I was able to do my first svcd.

    I knew that vbr would take longer and that motion search would add to the time too. But I kept reading post after post of people ripping and encoding over-night and just having to burn it in the morning.

    It seemed to me that either people were sleeping 18hrs a day , or my encodes where taking too long.


    thanks

  8. Those ppl might have bigger system than you do. Like mine I can encode 2 hrs movie with 2 pass vbr within 8-10 hrs becuz my system is 1.7 Gb.

    Encoding time is mainly depend on your CPU, if you have a bigger CPU then you expect less time.

    BTW I set Motion Search only to Higher quality (slow). I don't know if you can see much different between higher and highest and if it's worth to set to highest.
