    I have an Athlon XP 1800+ with 256 mb sdram, an U100 40gig hard drive, and an old ass voodoo banshee video card on Win98SE. When i encode dvd to svcd with 2200 avg vbr using TmpgEnc, it takes me 40 minute to encode a 6 minute video with no audio. I heard from some other posts about people being able to encode near realtime and their cpu is comparable to mine so i was wondering if getting a new video card will help me to increase my encoding time? Thanks in advance..

    Nope, a Video Card will not increase your encoding time, it has nothing to do with it, encoding is strickly a CPU/Chipset issue, you'll see improvment with a mainboard being the only thing that changed, but not with Video Card.

    Surely you want to decrease your encoding time, not increase it!

    k, thanks for the info..So do you have any recommendation for a motherboard for my Athlon XP 1800+ to increase my encoding significantly?

    What is the resolution and codec of both your source and output files?
    As Churchill famously predicted when Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming peace in his time: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war."

    errr....settings in tmpgenc will also affect the encode time....motion search accuracy (w/ highest quality being really, really slow), 2 pass VBR almost doubles the time of CQ VBR, and filters also add time (i.e. any adaptive de-interlace function will significantly add encode time...for me, it jumps from 7 hrs to like 12 hrs)

    Man, after I found CCE I dumped TMPGEnc in a hurry. Encode in 1/4 the time and way better quality. Another huge time saver is don't downsample audio from 48 to 44 khz. I have yet to run into a player that can't play my SVCDs at 48. I use Avisynth & CCE for video but still use TMPGEnc for mp2 audio. Tutorial here:
