TMPGEnc encoding to MPEG2 (How long...?)

[surfaway]

I've got about 45 minutes of DV I've brought to the HDD from my Sony.

Created the movie transitions and all using Premier, rendered out using various software to the point I have an .m2v and .wav.

Encoded the video and audio (AC3) into a decent looking DVD ISO file.

Now I want to simply create a standard .mpg file of the movie.

"Standard" is used loosely here due to my unfamiliarity with the various forms of .mpg. I want this to run on computers and maybe DVD players but don't need the fancy authoring and menu's that the ISO file I created has.

I've attempted to use TMPGEnc to put the .m2v and .wav back together but the first attempt seemed to have choppy video for some reason.

Never saw this jerky motion in any of the previous forms of the movie.

I've gone through the various links below to check my settings and have increased the quality levels in the hopes this would fix the chop.

TMPGEnc seems to be telling me that this will take around 60 hours to complete. Is that normal ?

I'm on an 800MHz / 384MB machine so maybe it is but before I let it run for day's on end I thought I would ask the question.


1) links I've checked out are below.

2) Is there something else I should be adjusting to get rid of the choppy video rather than the quality ?

If you have already rendered .m2v + .wav files and created a compliant DVD out of them, then what you have is an .mpg video already. Do not re-encode with TMPGEnc as it will reduce your quality and will take a really long time. An easy way to do what you want is to use the DVD video import/extraction feature of Cyberlink's PowerProducer 2. It will save the DVD video files as a muxed .mpg for you in one step.
