2 TMPGEnc converting at once?

[DiabolicalJoker]

Would it be a bad idea to convert two vids at once?
Would it take as long as it would to convert one at a time?

I have a 500Mhz processor if that's important...

it can be done. i have tried it but if memory is correct it took me longer.....

I wouldn't recomend it eventhough it can be done your taking a chance as it might cause errors in the mpeg. and you wont save anytime. you might think of batch encoding though(tell it to do several one after the other).

I have done it with no problems, but a much better option is batch encoding, just enter all your jobs and hit run, much easier and less taxing on your puter...Gary

It can be done (I used to do 4-5 encodings at once until I discovered the batching functions of TMPGEnc).

I strongly recommend batching, however, first save all your encodings as projects, then batch all the projects together: if your pc crashes in the middle of one encoding, you only lose one encoding when batching. The files already encoded will be fine.
