TMPGenc encoding times (not a slow encode complaint!)

[bgrieb]

I currently have an old Asus A7V with a 1.4 GHz TBird and 512 Megs of Ram. My VCD encoding times for a 720x480 movie in TMPGEnc are just under double run time (45 minute movie = 1hr 25min encode time).

I'm looking at doing an upgrade to an Asus A7V600 and I want to use 512 Megs of DDR Ram.

What processor should I expect to be able to perform at run time (45 minute movie = 45 minutes encode time)? Is this actually possible yet?

Thanks,

BG

Bgrieb:

My own encoding tests show almost a direct corelation with processor speed. So, provided you do not change any encoding parameters at 2.8gig processor would produce encoding times of approximately half the time it currently takes you. I have not seen any significant encoding time difference by increasing RAM capacity from 256meg to 512meg.

I am currently encoding SVCDs, using TMPGEnc, and I need 1hr encode time for 1hr movie. My system specs are:

Asus A7N8X Deluxe
Athlon XP 2400+
Corsair 2x256MB PC3200 DDR (2-2-2-6)

I hope this helps.

i use main concept on a pentium 1.6 . it takes 30 minutes to do a 1 hour movie.

i got an AMD 1900+xp processor, 512 MB ram, and 1.6 GHZ, i can do VCD with TMPGEnc at real time, and CVD and SVCD a little bit slower than Real Time. But With Cinema Craft Encoder, Using One Pass i can finish a 1 hour movie in about 25 minutes making it a vcd. If i make a cvd or svcd on CCE it usually goes at speed of 1.769, which is pretty fast, so its almost half the time of the movie. ex: 1 hour movie will encode, in 40 minutes.

No way man... you need to go dual! Pure sweetness.

With my system i can encode in real time or faster in TMPGEnc and cce and main concept i can do real time also but the Q is not par with tmpg and cce. i have not tried other encoders but it took about 40mins to encode Zombie SE (which is about 1hr27mins long) in cce cbr svcd.
