  1. yes its all relavant to the system your using, but i remember encoding files last year in a few hours, like 6-8 even, but now encoding is taking 24+ hours for one movie,

    being srta new to it all last year i cant say what settings i had,
    i know now i make sure search precision is set for slow (high quality) and things like, perhaps its just a setting thats different

    what do other do TMPenc encoding to MPEG2 (regular movie length) in ??

    PS doesnt seem to make a whole lotta difference whether its 2-pass or CBR

    I capture at 720x480, 48khz audio Huffyuv avi, then convert to dvd compliant mpeg with TMPGenc, 2-pass VBR layer 2 audio at 224.

    It basically takes 4-5x the original material. So a 90 minute movie takes between 6 to 8 hours to convert.

    this is on an AMD 1800XP / 768Mb ram / WinXP Pro box.

    I'm finding the encoding times incredibly long as well ... I'm quite new at this, so I thought for sure I was doing something wrong ...

    I set it on 2 pass VBR, to make a NTSC DVD (using the settings outlined in the guide at http://dvd-hq.info/Compression.html) and my 124 minute movie is going to take 28 hours.

    My assumption is that the 2-pass setting is essentially doubling the time required. Is this true?

    Questions - is the finished product from the 2-pass VBR method THAT MUCH better than the 1 pass CBR method
