THAT'S weird....!!!

I want to encode an XviD .avi file.

I used FitCD and got the following script. I marked with red everything added by me and not FitCD

# -= AviSynth v2.5.6.0 script by FitCD v1.2.8 =-
SetMTMode(2)
AVISource("C:\video.avi", audio=false)
LanczosResize(720,480,25,0,534,242)
AddBorders(0,48,0,48)
#Trim(0,142342).FadeOut(150)
ConvertToYUY2() # For VirtualDub or CCE

CCE estimated time needed: almost 2h... cce also crashed at about 70%

***

after that I tried to do the same thing. But WITHOUT avisynth script. Just drop the .avi file in CCE.
CCE estimated time needed: 30 MINUTES! and worked fine!


does THIS make any sense????

I don't have problems with the program crashing but I've seen differences in encoding speed with CCE depending on the decoder and colorspace.

I've been using Cedocida as the DV decoder. It has the option of forcing its output to RGB, YUY2, or YV12. If I open the DV AVI directly with CCE and have Cedocida set to RGB or YV12, CCE encodes at about 3x realtime. If Cecodida is set to YUY2 CCE encodes at about 1x realtime.

If I frameserve from AVISynth with AVISource() I always get about 1x realtime regardless of what colorspace I force (or not). ConvertToRGB(), RGB24(), RGB32(), YUY2(), YV12() all run about 1x.

When frameserving from AVISynth with DirectShowSource() I get fast or slow conversions depending on the colorspace.

If you try running it without MT does it complete ?

And with the given script,

# -= AviSynth v2.5.6.0 script by FitCD v1.2.8 =-
SetMTMode(2)
AVISource("C:\video.avi", audio=false)
LanczosResize(720,480,25,0,534,242)
AddBorders(0,48,0,48)
#Trim(0,142342).FadeOut(150)
ConvertToYUY2() # For VirtualDub or CCE

SetMTMode(2) won't improve performance.
