Long time encoding

[mad_professor_2002]

Hi All.
I am new at this.
I am trying to encode a film.
But it is taken me 7 Hours + is this about the norm?

I am using DVD2SVCD 1.1.0 Build 1, And TMPGEnc2.59.47.155.

Here's what my computer is.

CPU: AMD XP2200+.
Motherboard: ABIT AT7-MAX2.
Memory: 256MB DDR 300Mhz.
Hard Drive: IBM 60Gig ATA/133 7200Rpm.
Video Card: ABIT GeForce3 VIO 64MB.
Sound Card: On Board.

Can anyone help me to speed this up?

Thanks For Your Time.

No, its fast.
yes,
simple resize, cbr, single pass audio.

[mad_professor_2002]

Can you please run that past me again please.
But a bit slower, and in a bit more detail.

Thanks.

Hello!

But it is taken me 7 Hours + is this about the norm?

Yes, it is about the norm. Just as ux-3 stated, it´s even a bit fast. The encoding time depends on your machine and on your settings. As you don´t have posted your logfile, we don´t know your settings. That´s why it´s hard to say, if it is in the norm. But with 7 hours for the whole process you can be quiet satisfied.

Can anyone help me to speed this up?

-under the frameserver - tab choose "simple resize"
-under the encoder-tab choose cce as your encoder, check CBR, uncheck create vaf file
-under the audio-tab uncheck "Autodetect Azid gain (2 pass)"

But note that this settings will reduce the quality of your encode.

greets, winxi

Video encoding is just, put very simple - tough. It's very demanding on a computer, and the result is that it takes a long time to do. 7 hours really isn't long at all, in fact I wish all my encodes were only 7 hours. I'm more accustomed to 40-60 hour encodes

Here is my log file, I have changed a few things. Seem to encode quicker now.
