Normal for deinterlaced encoding to be very slow?

[simonhowson]

I'm just wondering if it is normal for a script with deinterlacing to be very slow. Here is the script I encoded, I got just 4 fps on an Athlon 64 x2 4600 (2.4 GHz)

DGDecode_mpeg2source("H:\roy\VTS_01_1.d2v",info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
edeintted = last.AssumeTFF().SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=-1)
TDeint(order=1,full=false,edeint=edeintted)
crop( 4, 0, -4, -14)

BilinearResize(640,480) # Bilinear (Soft)
Undot() # Minimal Noise

The source is a DVD of a TV programme shot on video.

EEDI2 is a pretty slow filter.

Try using TSP's SetMTmode or MT (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=94996) filters to speed it up.

Thanks for both of your replies. I use MeGUI, and just use whatever it tells me to. I very rarely encode video sourced content, so I was surprised it would be so slow. The results look pretty good though.
