Can someone reccommend a program to convert MPEG-PS to MKV?

I transferred a file over to my PC from my Tivo and decoded it from .tivo to .mpg with Tivo Decoder. The file is over 9GB. I started converting with Handbrake but it said it would take over 19 hrs! I have an AMD Athlon 64 processor 2.39GHz with 3GB ram so I cant see why it would take so long. Can anyone recommend a (free) alternative? Thanks.

Try staxrip, xvid4psp or xmedia recode. All free.

just used xmedia recode. Worked well but still took about 16 hrs to encode. Is that normal?

Give more info. Like 1920x1080 h264 will take time.

1920x1080 ac3 passthru h264. I had it set to not change frame rate (23.976) but it did anyway to 50 something. The quality was terrible (looked like a 700mb avi file). It came out to almost 4gb which is what i wanted. I had constant bitrate set to 5000. The source material was better than dvd quality but not blu. I guess I'll try handbrake again when i dont plan on using my pc for 19 hrs.
