Ok I want to use LSX Mpeg Encoder to convert my avi files to mpeg1. I chose it because of its supposed speed and quality. However, every avi file I've tried to encode goes really slow. A 1 hour movie took 13 hours. I think something is wrong because while its encoding it kind of freezes for a second on every thrid frame. I tried different speed settings, but the fast and slow speed settings show no difference. Can anyone help? I think I remember using this program before and it encoded in almost real time. Does anyone know of any settings I could have on that could be slowing it down? Thx, for the help.
