i started to encode a 108mins 1280x736 "hdtv/wmv9 video" (orig size 4.1GB) with X264 (megui, staxrip, whatever) using the "HQ-slow" setting.
I started the encode today at 4:30am....now it's 1:50pm and ETA is another hour. Makes 10+ hrs encoding time.
Geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz
And i have a A64 running at 2618mhz 1gb ram and otherwise pretty beefed up system. I just hope the quality is worth it....ugh....
SOrry..just wanted to rant....this IS a long time
