remux with tmpGEnc or rempeg2?

[bskousen]

I have successfully used rempeg2 to remux my m2v files, however, it seems to take about 24 hours for a two hour movie even on my 1.9 P-4 machine. Can I use tmpgenc to remux an m2v file at a lower bit rate. I have used tmpgenc for other tasks. Does tmpgenc's quality compare with rempeg2? I have CCE, but I don't really feel like converting it to avi and then back to an mpeg file.

Yes, you can use TMPGenc, as long as it's registered (I'm assuming you have the Plus version). It will probably take just as long as your other method.

If you have CCE, then you should frameserve your MPEG directly to CCE.

You'll need the following:

DVD2AVI
AVISynth (2.06 is the latest I believe)

Open your MPEG in DVD2AVI. Select FILE | SAVE PROJECT
Give it any filename. We'll call it frameserved.D2V
Open notepad and put the following (you'll have to modify the paths to match your plug and D2V locations):

LoadPlugin("c:\Windows\System32\MPEG2DEC.DLL")
mpeg2source("d:\movies\frameserved.D2V")

Save the file as FILENAME.AVS (surround the filename in quotes to prevent notepad from appending a .TXT to the end of the filename).

Drop this into CCE. Modify your CCE settings to change your output quality/size.
