how fast does it take you to make a SVCD and a VCD and what

[spiderman2k1]

how fast does it take you to make a SVCD and a VCD and what your hardware your useing ?

[juliencomputer]

It all depends on how big source is. Say i Change Matrix(divx)into mpg2. it would take me about 5 hours. My hardware is Pentium3 966 mhz 128mb of ram.

[Greg12]

hardware encoders work in real time.

a 60 minute movie takes 60 minutes to encode.

P3 500MHz, FlaskMPEG 0.6, Panasonic MPEG Encoder 2.51 plugin, PAL VCD (i.e., 352x288, 25fps) -- speed, 7x real-time

Athlon 1.2G

1 hour to capture 1hour show (480x480 30fps)
4:30 hours to save AVI with 15 minutes of ads cut out and IVTC and other processing
2:45 to frameserve from Vdub to TMPGEnc (MPEG2 NTSCFilm CBR 2100kbps)
3 minutes to make image using TSCV
42 minutes to burn at 2X using CDRWin

so if I didn't do any processing and just cut out ads and frameserved to TMPGEnc, it would be around 3 1/2 hours.

hmm, hardware enoders are also really bad for motion i hear. anyway, it depends on the settings you use! if i use 2 pass VBR and high quality motion search, it takes about 50 hours to encode 130 minutes. If i use MVBR and lowest quality, it takes about 12 hours to encode 130 minutes

WHAT! You're saying that you get 175FPS rates on panasonic mpeg encoder on a 500mhz cpu. how is that possible?

[Hollywood004738]

what he means is the time of the movie multiplied by seven...

2hrs 15min x 7

[Hollywood004738]

as in time to encode

[vitualis]

Sorry:
time to encode = 7x
i.e., speed = 1/7 or 0.143

BTW, expressing speed in fps is generally not a good idea as it is affected by the framerate of the encoded video. It is better to express it as a fraction or multiple of realtime.

Regards.

I can encode a widescreen DVD to VCD at a little faster than real time. A 90 minute movie usually takes 80 minutes or less using TMPGEnc 12j.

Whoa. I was thinking 7x real time speed is pretty damn fast. Now i realise you meant 1/7th real time speed. Yeah that makes more sence. I just made a misinterpretation.

[Peter]

I have a Duron 800 running at 1005 and I encode with CCE, appr. 15 fps (SVCD). So it depends on how many passes I need.

Why is expressing in fps not a good idea. If you express in # x real time, you can't compare the time, because one can be 25 fps and another 30 fps.
If you express in fps you can compare the speed

[thxkid]

ummm,
Using Hamppuage PVR MPEG2 Encoder 90min. - about 120min. for a complete 2-99min. CD-R's finished with scanned labels.
capturing in raw AVI, 9 minutes ( 4 gig limit) takes about 85min. to encode with TMPGE 12a at slowest speed but highest quality with AVI at 480x480, 29.97 frames, 22050 16 bit audio.
I have done a wedding and recption this weekend (90min. total time) got a finished SVCD (2 discs) in about 8 hours.

[Yeshi]

12a? why are you using 12a? isnt it way slower than other versions/

[Graham Meredith]

Some people still prefer 12a, they claim the encoding quality is the best of all the versions, as well as other reasons. It also doesn't time expire with the SVCD function. I still use it.

[teamhawaii]

Dont it depend on what encoder, and if you have anything special running in it, such as filters, etc etc??

when I encode a 45 min video at SVCD settings(2 pass VBR, Highest quality motion search), I ususally deinterlace and noise reduce.. that takes about 48 hours..

Avisynth frameserve to TMPGEnc 2.0 on a P3-1Ghz, 512MB RAM.

You've got the dilemma but misunderstood the significance...

If I have a 1 hour PAL movie (25 fps) that takes 5 hours to encode, a 1 hour NTSC movie (29.97 fps) takes 5 hours as well. Although there are more frames in the NTSC movie, there is also less video information per frame. This cancels out almost exactly.

Thus, in the above case, saying the speed as 0.2x real-time applies to both PAL and NTSC.

However, in the above case, speed for PAL is 5 fps and NTSC is 6 fps. However, both is actually the SAME SPEED in terms of time to encode.
