Not enough info to tell. Need more detail as far as your conversion settings, filters, number of passes, etc. Also, please fill out your computer info in your profile (like Dodzzz did).

It shouldn't be that slow. It only takes me a couple of hours longer to do a clip of similar length and settings on a 266MHz Pentium II

Setting it to high priority certainly helps the encode time, I manage to cut around 5 hours off an SVCD encode and around 3 hours of a VCD encode that way.

It was 17 hours before that so I decided to defrag and scan disc and disable all background programs, and yes I did set the priority to high, is there anything else I can do to speed this up?

My reports....

Dont have filesizes here BUT...using TMPGEnc on an Athlon 750 (writing out to an 80 GB stand alone drive dedicated to video)

1 hr 44 min movie encoding w/ sound (out to .mpa) ... 31 hrs using 2 pass VBR and DVD "quality" settings from vcdhelp.com guide

1 hr 42 min movie encoding ONLY video stream in TMPGEnc ... reporting to take 27 hrs (working on it right now) .... using 2 pass VBR to DVD quality m2v format....

both are captures using a Canopus ADVC-100 with the original file format being avi Type-2 ....

hope this gives you an idea of 'time'....really I think it all depends on what you are encoding to and what your settings are to produce not only the format but the quality you are after...

and yes I'm sure it would probably go faster on a faster processor...I'll have to try it and drop an update

to legionpc

are u encoding with vbr or constant? also whats ur motion search setting?

[legionpc]

Using 2-pass VBR, high quality motion search precision for an NTSCFilm SVCD it takes me around 20 hours for a 50 minute clip on my 266MHz machine.

now that sounds a bit right

[falconx]

come on people...............


the question is ....

what is the main mpg resolution is ... because any resizing task well take along time to Process

[Aznboi_nz]

well since "svcd mpeg2" was mentioned wont it be 480x480
