You lot are wingers, really! I've got a Celeron 800 MHz, and I do a regular encode of some games footage. It's not longer than about 1500 to 2000 frames usually, and it takes 2 hours to do 2 passes in x264, at 1500 kbps. 1500 to 2000 frames is anywhere between 70 and 90 seconds. In XviD, I can have both passes done within 20-30 minutes. That's with all the high quality settings too in both codecs, yet x264 looks miles better, even with XviD or ffdshow's post-processing!
