Encoding a Quicktime .mov with TmpgEnc is veeery slow!!!

[incredible]

Hi!

I just reencoded a DVD 90 Min. m2v movie with TmpgEnc to 5000Kbit m2v so it fits on a DVD-R with ac3 sound.
It takes about 3 hours on a P4 2,4 Ghz Notebook .... speed is ok.

But .... if I choose a Quicktime Movie from my Harddisk to encode to m2v TmpgEnc is veeeeery slow! It tells me that it will take about 32 Hours to convert!!!!!

The Quicktime Movie:
Mjpeg-A codec (2000 kb/s)
768x576, 25 FPS interlaced
Audio AIFF 44.1 Stereo, no Compression

I choosed in TmpgEnc "not interlaced" and the regular DVD PAL settings by using the Wizard.

Is it normal that a 120 Min .mov will take about 30 Hours to be converted to m2v?????????

Please Help!

Are u youseing filter and was it interlace before, because that may account for some of that time still it sound long

No, no filters.
It's an interlaced source cause It's a captured movie from TV

quicktime IS slow conversion w/ several encoders - its decoding it twice really .

32 hours is a bit extreme though , maybe let it go for a while and see if it decrease faster than that --

you can open it in QT and save it out as something else (avi) which is faster (maybe - if you count the double conversion again - may be not any faster)

YEAH ... got the solution!!!!!!

I just changed the priority of the QT-PlugIn in the invironment settings to 1st!!! And now it takes about 5 Hours!!! In relation its the same speed as it took when converting a m2v source of 90 min in 3 Hours!

So ... speed now is ok. !


But thanks anyway!!!!
