I'm not sure if I even know what I am talking about, but I have been ripping and compressing DVD videos into DivX since v4.11. Through out this time I've only used the latest gordian knot and the acompanying codec pack or latest divx codec. As any who compress full movies knows the proccess takes a long time. As a being of NO patience I created and finaly finished my latest toy. I used a P4C 3.0GHz with HT and over clocked it a tad to 3.25GHz 868FSB. It would seem to me sufficient to kill these long compression times. With the DivX 5.05 and gordian knot I could compress a full length movie doing two passes at 900Kbps in about 1-hour 45-minutes. Now with this new POS (Divx 5.1) My encode times are like 6+ hours. I'm useing the EXACT same set up as I always have, and YES I did use the slowest setting for DivX 5.05 and am now using the standard setting for this new DivX 5.1. Can anyone tell me WHY this thing is so slow. I have ZERO patience for this!!!
