VERY Slow encoding......why?

[brandonjh00]

I'm using TMPGenc to encode a movie that is 99 minutes long. i split it up into two 50minute segments. When i start the encoding, it goes REALLY slow (18 hrs). This wasnt happening before.

I did try to burn SVCD the first time because i wanted better quality, but once i saw that 18hrs, I cancelled it.

so I switched back to VCD and it is still the same speed.

whats the deal??????

have you maby activated filters or so that you did not use previously?

well, it is possible, I'll have to check that when I get home. I was playing with different settings trying to improve quality because I had so many megabytes to play with. I dont even remember what i did.

but i eventually gave up and tried it the the normal ntsc template and still got a 18 hr encoding time.....??????

Is it not a good idea to increase the bitrates???? It just seems like a shame to have all those MB's left.


where would i have changed the filter settings at?

Trty extracting the audio as a WAV with Virtualdub then re-encode with TMPGE using the WAV file as the audio source.

I have a similar problem with TMPGENC 2.54 PLUS. Encoding takes 18 to 30 hrs depending on VCD or SVCD. The same encoding done with TMPGENC 2.54 using the same templates run 3 to 5 hours. Any ideas are welcomed. Maybe that is what the PLUS stands for?
