hi there
I am having some problems re-encoding a couple of movies using rempeg2. I have an Xp2000, 512mb DDR memory 2 X 60 gb hard drives etc etc computer but the last couple of movies I have ripped have taken days to re-encode using rempeg 2, ie Blade 2 took 10 days, yes 10 days....the settings I am using are as follows. This is for pearl harbour which is nearly 3 hours long. Bit rate at 58% 2686000 bits/sec a resolution of 720 X 576, frame mode - match source, search technique - full, performance - reference DCT, every thing else set to its defaults. According to the log this is going to take 107 hours to re-encode. It is only the last 2 or three DVD's that seem to take forever so can anyone suggest why ?

What processor are u using?
With a intel 1g p3 a 100 min movie should take around 12hrs
If it takes 10 days its cheaper to buy the MOVIE!!! -
yes I know this.....I have an Athlon XP2000

well I don't know anything about ReMPEG2 but still I have to say that you should use CCE... It's faster and gives you much better quality... there is many great guides out there... good luckOriginally Posted by the-saint

You seem to have a serious bottleneck somewhere, I could re-encode each of these movies on a Intel PII 400 in under 30 hours. Even if you disabled SSE and MMX on your Athlon the re-encode should be done within a day. Open your taskmanager and see what other things you have running as I suspect that something is stealing your resources.
Hope this helps -
I suspect it's your operating system. I have Athlon XP1600 and it takes 4x realtime to trancode,i.e. 8 hours to transcode a 2 hour movie.
Try it on machine running Windows 98. -
I doubt that the OS (XP) is at fault. I am running Win XP Pro and I can re-encode most movies in under 2 hours (using CCE). The-Saint states that this just started to happen so something seems to be locking up available clock cycles.

here is some stats from my machine....Athlon XP2000, 512mbDDR ram 2700, 2 X IBM 60gb Drives, ASUS A7V333 m/board, geforce 4 Ti4200 128mb graphics card. I also have Broadband so it is connected all the time to the internet. I have ICQ Norton Antivirus, Internet security and Utilities 2003 which run all the time I think but when I check in the task manager under processes, ReMPEG2 is using 98-99% CPU power and 19,928 K of memory so it seems to be using everything possible.....Like I said I have ripped and encoded a number of DVD's and it has only been the last 2 which are giving the problems. I also tried reformating my hard drive yesterday (had to try it eh ?) and ran it with only windows xp and nothing else on the system and it was still the same......Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Recently my encode times went way up, also my rip speeds went way down. At first I blamed the rip speeds on the fact that I switched rip programs. Then I figured hey I haven't done much upkeep lately either so that must explain the speed.
I set down did all my normal maintance over several days... did everything I could and it was STILL slow.
Finally I backuped my important data and formated... all better now.
After getting everything on and running the way I want I made a manual XP restore point that I can go backto if anything botches up to badly.
BTW Mines an Athon XP 2200 with ... just click the button on the top of the message if you really care about the stats.
The moral of the story... Microsoft products are just strange that way sometimes...
