  1. I am encoding 3 hours of DV Avi's to produce Mpeg 2 compliant files for DVD-R output. I have a fast system at the moment 1.4 Athlon 512 DDR, but I still need this to be faster. Therefore i'm looking to get a

    Asus A7M-266-D Dual Xp Motherboard
    2 x 2gig XP Processors
    and DDR Memory (Not sure how much yet)


    What sort of speed increase am i likely to get?? for encoding. Mainly using Tmpeg.

    Anyone know which Version of CCE will i need?

    Thx

  3. Though I don't have the site handy, there is a review of that exact ASUS dual-AMD board and its speed increase with TMPGEnc. Search around on 2cpu.com in the forums.

  4. I think dual AMD only take MP chip not XP I could be wrong but i think im right. I have read that dual is much faster but if you want a Dazzle 2 down the road stick with one chip and a MSI K7T266 pro 2 mother board

  5. I'm using the Asus A7M266-D with two XP 1700's.
    TMpgenc flies with this board!!!
    VCD slowest (best quality) encodes 1/2 movie from dvd rip in about 70 minutes. Haven't tested at other settings yet. This is the setting I use most and like the quality the best.

    Check on www.2cpu.com for deabte about xp's and mp's. Only a few report problems with XP's not working.

    I've had no problems thus far.
    Also, the Asus board has a few quirks so make sure you check out 2cpu.com. Major issues with what video card you select etc. I've had no problems with my Radeon 7500.

    If you encode a lot it's worth the money.

  6. I have a Tyan Thunder K7 with 2 1.2ghz Athlon MP's. I use high (not highest) quality settings in TMPGEnc and encode VCD's in better than realtime. A 90 minute movie usually takes between 70 and 80 minutes.

    I don't think CCE takes advantage of both processors. It actually takes me longer to encode with CCE than it does with TMPGEnc.
