x264 is so slow i want to cry

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

Well, the settings is called "HQ-slow" for a reason. I don't see why you're complaining.

you should try insane and see if it lives up to the name, call mental institution ahead of time, just in case.

wait, is it the first pass you doing now? so you got another like 18 hours of second pass to go?

Hopefully in a few centuries we will be able to compress like that without much loss ._.'

Then we will have storage space so big, so we will have lossless compression used or even no compression at all.

but the storage medium will be so big and so expensive that only the 3 richest kings of Europe will be able to afford them.

HQ-Insane

I am running the HQ-Insane (modified to support 2 threads) on an AMD X2 processor.

1 pass was: encoded 8138 frames, 24.40 fps, 1014.40 kb/s
2 pass is now at 4,45 fps

Is this normal?

Yep, first pass is just to get the statistics of the video file, so it's lot faster.

Actually that's pretty fast for insane, for most people. You must have a high-end x2.

encoding at 1280*736 would be much slower than at 848*480 and 704*396

and what's the source, resolution?
i'm trying to convert 1024x768 with HQinsane 4000kb/s and second pass goes 2,8-3,3fps with e6600 @2,7GHz

edit: sorry it was 1000kb/s

4000kb/s is about 2,3fps

How about we setup a distributed computing network för x264 encoding, eh?

That number seems normal to me on that system. Even if the new Core 2 Duo is about ??% faster than the AMD X2 it doesn't add that much more fps in the end I think.
