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.

The other day I completed transcoding a 2 byte MATTX file to MPEG4 and it filled up my whole terrabyte array before it was even zero percent done. No compression ratio is more amazing or compare even to MATTX.

So I've got an Athlon 64 3500 and I'm encoding The Matrix at 704x288. I didn't choose a profile, but with the settings I chose I've got ~5.2fps, 11 hours per pass (I didn't choose Turbo 1st pass cause I'm hardcore like that).
I'm glad to know that I paid all this money for this CPU and I can actually take full advantage of it (by bringing it to its knees). |

(Mind you my A64 runs at 2608 Mhz) or: "Why the *** did i pay ALL THIS MONEY and it STILL takes 13 hrs for an encode ?? Maybe we need multi-threading...a la "for each pixel it's own CPU )..that would certanly fly |
