Ridiculous ETA For Encodes in MeGUI

[Shinji-kun]

I have noticed that in MeGUI, when I try to encode any file more the 2 or so minutes long or using multiple avisynth filters, the "time remaining" estimation for the encode is several hours long.

I know that it takes a long time for avisynth to edit the footage but MeGUI is taking over 10 hours just to encode an 18 minute video. Why IS this? I am using the profile: X264 unrestricted 2pass insane.

post your avs script.

is there any speed change if you encode in to xvid not x264?

mpeg2source("C:\users\user\whatever.d2v")
Tdeint()
TemporalDegrain()


Xvid is not an issue as I will not encode to Xvid.

"insane" is meant to be slow , use a faster preset

use faster filters if it's too slow for you (your filters tdeint and temporaldegrain aren't that slow)

if doing 2 pass with really heavy filters, consider using a lossless intermediate (this way you only endure slow filters once, instead of twice)

poisondeathray's correct, if your going to be using cpu heavy filters
it's prolly best to go: VOB >> Avisynth Filtering >> HuffYUV >> x264.

insane is not just meant to be slow... it's meant to be DAMN SLOW.
you cant say "ridiculous ETA for encode" if you deliberately chosen the "insane" preset.
