Computer speeds??

[Miners24]

I have a compaq presario 5630 ... 400mhz processor.. 128 megs of ram.... My computer takes about 13 hours to encode a divx movie on TMPEGenc.. I saw a lot of people on here writing that it takes them only a few hours to encode a movie.. just wondering how fast your guy's computers are...

(p.s. when I encode movies on TMPEGend I use SVCD with default settings)

It is all to do w/ your system. I use a 128Meg ram pentium 3 at work and TMPGenc on average will convert 2 hour movie in 2.5 hours. NOW at home... I have a celeron 500 mhz w/ only 64meg ram and it takes roughly about what you said between 10 and 13 hours on average.

The encoder makes a difference too. CCE is MUCH faster than TMPGenc. Also what filters you run. Just resizing to 480x480, 352x480, or 352x240 adds time.

I have a Tbird 1.2Ghz w/ 512MB of ram running winME. Using CCE to encode MPEG2 streams from DVD rips I normally run at 1~1.35x the movie lenght.

However, some I've seens speeds as high as 0.59x the movie run time (DivX -> MPEG2 no resize or filters), and as slow as 2.5x the source runtime (DVD rip w/ IVTC & resize).

I just decoded the 1st half of a divx movie at the "high Quality" on TMPGE and it took 1hr. 9min.
Using the "normal" setting it took 45min.

hmm.. i have a 550mhz 128ram p3 system and it takes me about 8-9hrs to encode at normal qualty. :/
