Slow speeds encoding just now started happening.

[LeonMcNichol]

As the topic says, I have a problem with encoding speeds. Originally I used to get ~15fps when I encode with my filters to huffyuv. Now it starts with that fps and then drops to 0 and takes forever to encode. I don't know what happened. I might have installed something that messed with my computer, but I don't know what or how to fix this problem. This just happened between the 8th (the last time I encoded) and this morning. I thought it was that .net I updated on windows update and I did a roll back to a previous restore point and still getting the speeds.

I have an Intell Celeron 2.4ghz cpu with 256MB of ram which is running on Windows XP SP2. I know the ram is on the low side (understatement) but it wasn't causing any speed issues.

My avs script file is:

LoadPlugin("F:\Encoding\AVS\MPEG2Dec3dg.dll")
LoadPlugin("F:\Encoding\AVS\undot.dll")
LoadPlugin("F:\Encoding\AVS\decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("F:\Encoding\AVS\TomsMoComp.dll")
LoadPlugin("F:\encoding\avs\Convolution3DYV12.dll")
LoadPlugin("F:\encoding\avs\aWarpSharp.dll")
mpeg2source("F:\Encoding\103\dc103.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,guide=1).Decimate()
TomsMoComp(1,5,1)
crop(14,0,696,480)
LanczosResize(640,480)
Convolution3D("AnimeBQ")
aWarpSharp(16.0,2,0.5,1)
Undot()

I don't think this is an encoding/filters issue, I think it's something else that's causing it since I use the same filters and settings for each of my encodes. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked the running processes with Task Manager? Maybe there's something new running in the background hogging up RAM?
Avsiynth slows down a lot when it doesn't have enough RAM to buffer frames.

Apparently, it fixed itself. For some odd reason, after I reformated windows. (God, I hate doing that.) It still would give me the slow speeds, but after I did a test with picvideo and then stoped and started up xvid, it works. I did this for a few days and then afterwords, it seems to work... God, that was annoying. -_- I wonder what it was that caused it.

sounds like the hamster needed a break from the spinning wheel
