CCE basic - speed

[Harrysmiith]

normally I use DVD Rebuilder on one pc with the source on one physical drive and the end product going to another. Using an Intel duo2 6300 2 gig of ram I tend to get speed figures of about 4.

Today I ran with the source on C: , the DVD workpath on E: and the output on another machine connected via my network. I'm now getting typical high reading of 4.6

when this is finished I will run it again on one machine - but in the meantime - does this make sense ?

CCE Basic/SP/SP2 can vary based on bitrate, if the bitrate is high... the encoding will be a little slower (on my pc, CCE Basic encodes for a bitrate of say 4500k around 5.0x.... at 3000k I get about 5.8x), so as the bitrate gets lower... the speed goes up. At lower bitrates the enocoder is not having/doesn't have to retain as much detail so the speed goes up.

Or you could have just had some other apps running in the background

I just built a new system, Athlon 64 X2 4200+ wi/1 gig of Corsair Ram on a gigabyte board. Have done 4 or 5 encodes and they all run from the high 4's to the low 5's on the CCE Basic scale. First one was X-Men III and did movie and menu's in 64 min. All on one computer but jumping source and destinations between different drives.

Have now run everything again but just using 1 machine and two drives. It took exactly the same time so looks like the change in speed was due to the source. would be nice to see 5X or 6X but with my machines I try to get them as cool and as quiet as possible
trading off speed to some degree.

No overclocking allowed here. Running everything just like it came out of the box and auto-detect on the Gigabyte board. CPU temp running 34 C.
