How fast does it take you to make a SVCD when encoding with

[spiderman2k1]

Please tell me what chip you use and the speed Intel or AMD and how much ram you have and how fast if your hard drive

[fugoff]

tee hee. Duron 800 here 128mb hdd is 13gb 7200rpm seagate.
for a normal 93 minute movie from Mjpeg to Mpeg-1VCD takes me about 10 hours with Panasonic Mpeg Encoder. Tmpeg will do it in about 2.5 but with Tmpeg I always get horrible block noise when scenes change.

Intel Pentium III 600 mhz, 256 RAM, 60 Gb 5600rpm.

Encoding 90 Min DivX to SVCD with TMPGenc takes about 10 hours for me.

[ams30gts]

AMD duron 800 100fsb 384mb pc133 30 GB 7200rpm HD.....for a movie about 90 minutes or so (eg Hackers2 dvd rip) with the standard vcd ntsc template in TMPGEnc it takes me a little less than 3hrs. but i usually make a xvcd so it takes a lot longer than that for mine

[valzuniga]

On my 400MHz Pentium II, with 128 megs of ram, and a 7200 rpm hard drive, it takes me about 10.5 hours to convert divx to Vcd. for a movie of about 95 minutes.

[thxkid]

1.2 gig thunderbird 266 bus speed, 512 megs of 133mhz ram, 30 gig 7200 western digital, 5500 voodoo 5.
with TMPGE beta version b use to take 2 hours for a 60min. segment, now I have a MPEG2 encoder, 48min. now takes 48min. then about 4 min. to mux - done.
This is while making a SVCD. Why 48min. thats what I can burn onto the new 99min. CD-R's.
Get it now cause stuff is cheap CPU and EPOX motherboard was $199, Ram $49, hard drive $99.

1 gig Intel P3 , 128 ram, and a 40 gig Ultra ATA/100 (7200 RPM) About 9 hours for CBR and about 20+ hours for VBR.

[Vejita-sama]

Tbird 1.2Ghz 266FSB, 512MB ram. It takes me about ~1x the movie runtime to encode (for each pass) for MPEG2. Been a while since I did a MPEG1 so I don't recall. But for stuff I like I use 3pass VBR so that's 4x the movie runtime.

Note - it depends a lot on your encoder. I mostly use CCE which is MUCH faster than TMPGenc. And MPEG1 encodes faster than MPEG2.

Hey thxkid!
Where did you buy your combo?
I would sure like to get that sweet deal!!!!!!!!

MY SYSTEM;

A normal VCD 50min movie takes me about 100min or less
And to mult. the video with the audio takes me about 5min

My system is crap put the speed of encoding is aswome, alot better that TMPEG taking 10 hours for a full 90min movie.

lol, let the specs fly.

[PNPman]

There is gonna be a huge difference even with the same systems, due to what is done to the original to bring it to the final encoding. ie filters, original format, final format.
I have a dual P3 1Ghz and 1G of RAM.
If i'm just using TMPGE:
- To convert a 35 min divx low motion 320x240 29.97 fps to VCD NTSC takes about 2hours.
- To resize and letter box to SVCD NTSC takes about 4 hours.

If i framserve from virtualdub to add some filters to adjust the image it can go 8-12 hours.

[Stinky]

PII 256Ram UltraWide SCSI

2 hour DivX to xSVCD 2-Pass (2 parts) using TMPGEnc with "Normal" search option and tooLAME for audio = 9 hours (4.5 per disk)

if I up "Normal" to "High Quality" or add a filter then the time per disk goes up 1.5 or more hours

there probably isn't a normal encoding time for anyone - since no one has the exact same method

[ktnwin]

Mine current system is T-bird 1.2G, 256 MB RAM
for SVCD, it's 5X using CBR or CQ_VBR
for VCD or XVCD, it's 2.4X using CBR or CQ_VBR

I had P2-266Mhz with 64MB RAM
for SVCD, it's 24X using CBR or CQ_VBR
for VCD or XVCD, it's 12X using CBR or CQ_VBR

The hard disk(s) do not come into play in encoding time. I already did the math. Actually it does but very very insignificant.

[villain4hire]

On my AMD 1.3ghz clocked at 1.45ghz using an ATI All-In-Wonder 32 DDR with 512 megs DDR, the time it takes for me to encode a 25min (highest quality setting, noise reduction, sharpen image, ghost reduction, custom color correction filters included) VCD format takes about 2 hours and 5 minutes. The quality is good on TV... I'd capture with AIW Radeon DDR using mpeg1 with bitrate of 10 (more and I start to see drop frames), then encode it on TMPG with filters and highest quality setting and it does a crisp good VCD!

[Stinky]

@villain4hire ... I think going from MPEG-1 to MPEG-1 is a much different story then DVD to MPEG-1/2 or DivX to MPEG-1/2

Say, how much are MPEG2 encoding boards? And how is the quality compared to CCE?

[shochan]

My sigmadesigns.com dvr board runs about $797us dollars on pricewatch .com and looks real good but for lower bitrate encoding nothing looks better than a software encoder. This is basicaly for dvd authoring because it is real time and at a 6000 bit rate everything looks nice on it but it takes to long to do on a software encoder.

athlon 1.5ghz, 384mb ram, Iwill board. the last svcd movie I did was the thin red line and it took me about 6 hours altogether. I do the audio extraction/downsampling/conversion seperately and then I do the video using CCE cbr. the quality is excellent
