First, my computer specs:
PIII 733 w/ VIA Appollo 133A chipset
448 MB RAM
80 GB WD 7200rpm w/ 50% free space
Windows XP Pro
I'm converting Pearl Harbor DVD to SVCD, approximately a 3hr movie (credits removed), and settings are for 4-pass VBR with an image quality of 15. I started DVD2SVCD at about 4:30am today and now it's 1:30pm so it's been going 9 hours. When I look at the progress of CCE now I see that the speed is around .5, elapsed time is 01:45:00 and time remaining is 22:03:00. So I have 22 hours left just for this pass! Now I'm not sure but I think it's on the 2nd pass... here's what it says in the log:
Executing Cinema Craft Encoder
Transcoding has begun.
CCE vaf file: 100
Transcoding has begun.
CCE mpv file: 7%
So assuming that each pass will take this long, I guess the whole process is going to take a few days! Am I looking at this the right way? Is this time remaining accurate, and is it the time remaining for just one of the passes or all 4 passes? I'm confused because I've used DVD2SVCD a couple times before and remember it taking 16-24 hrs at most, although it's been a while since I made a SVCD. Is there something wrong here? Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
