When i converted my divx to mpeg it took a little over 12 hours! Yeah i know it took for ever. Did I do something wrong? I was told it should take an hour. I have an intel celeron 500 Mhz 128 Mb 17Gb

i have amd900 256sdram. it takes me about 12-14 hours for a 2 hour movie using tmpge. i wouldn't think anything was wrong unless i am wrong and doing something incorrect.....but my videos are great so i won't complain.

i have no idea about cd creator. i use Nero5.5. you might want to try it and see if you get the same error on it. just a thought....

My P3 500 took 6 hours to encode a 2hr VCD from
a HqDivx file. But when I first tried it, it took
11hrs!

Here's a "trick" I use:

Open the divx file in VirtualDub.
Extract the audio to a wav.
In Tmpgenc, select the divx file as the video source.
Instead of just hitting encode, change the audio source
to the wav you just extracted from VDub.
Now try encoding.

It should cut your encoding time in half!


BTW, my new P4 1.7 encode's a 100 min file in 95 min's.
Now I just have to get my video card to work. : (
