Video conversion speed - How to improve

[tsk1979]

Thanks for that poisondeathray!
I am going to do just what you said. The star trails segment will be encoded separately into a lossless encode(is there a compressed lossless container available?). Then it will be stitched in the main segment.

MEanwhile. its 2 days more and then my 5 days at doom9 forum will be done.
They have the avisynth development section, and i guess that will be a good place to find a workaround for future.

AE trial is not an option. I want to do time lapses again and again, and avisynth is what I have.

BTW what is the MT version? I am using the latest stable avisynth and latest stable virtualdub.

HuffYUV or UT Video Codec in AVI.

BTW what is the MT version?

A multithreaded version of AviSynth. It allows faster processing on multicore computers.
