ASF Conversion painfully slow

[Anesthaesia]

Hi,

I am trying to convert ASF files to MPG files, using TMPGEnc. The problem is however, that it shows about 100 - 200+ hours remaining. Is this normal ? I have never sucessfully encoded an entire file due to this.

I have a PIII 1Ghz, and can't believe it could take so long. Is there a setting I am missing ?

I am loading the default VCD template for conversion settings.

Please help, or advise on a better way to this.

Cheers
Donovan

well 1 very important thing lacking in your question is the lengh of the asf
but generally speaking i'd say something is not quite right as when i do it it has never taen more than 4 or 5 times the lengh of the video. (and my processor is not as powerfull)

The ASF files are all full movie length (100mins approx).

It just seems rediculous, because it takes 10 mins to process 15 frames.

I am using TMPGEnc ver2.02.31.119 under Win2000 Pro.

AVI files are converted with no problems and in a decent amount of time.

Please help.

Cheers
Donovan
