44 minutes X-File episode SVCD (org. source: DVD) -> 350 Kbits (318 video) 1-pass VBR, encoder complexity 80 @ 480 x 360: 6 hours and 10 minutes (was: 1 and a half hour at encoder complexity 65) on a Celereon 1.7 GHz with 384 MB RAM.

The result is really most impressive and pleasing to my eyes.

At 65 this rate used to produce acceptably good results. The "stuff going on" in the background or out of the focus would sometimes hint at that this was a low bitrate encode but overall the quality was good enough (TV/VHS) to watch without being bothered or having a cheap messy feel to it.

Now, with encoder complexity at 80, the results are really impressive: a clear, thight picture with hardly any "stuff going on". Karl really must be too much with his nose in it for him to say "I am really glad you notice a difference!" as only extremely visually impaired persons would not notice an difference :-) It's just like that: it's not a matter of bending over closely to your screen to try to figure out what, if anything, has changed - it is self evident.

Well worth the extra encoding time.
