CCE encoding speed

[Gozzy]

Hi,

Hi have a P4 2.0 ghz on asus PB533-E, 512 DDR 266mhz and i only get an encoding speed of 0.8 :(
My fsb is 100 , does that matter some how??
How can is get a faster encoding speed ?
( i readed about peeps with an amd 1200 with 1.1,1.2 encoding speed)

Greetz and thanks.

Sorry i forgot to mention i use CCE 2.50
:cool:

Speed not only depends on your hardware, but on your method. What method are you using? Avisynth is the fastest way, if your already using it, post your script.

I am not using Avisynth .
Where can i get it ???

Thanks

Sorry for the stupid question , i have found it.
Is there any place where you can get some good scripts??

I am kinda new

Thanks:rolleyes:

There's some script examples you can find in docs.zip, which comes with AviSynth (if you got it from Sourceforge) ;)

Even with my basic script i cant surpass .97(avg is .93)

I have tried mpeg2dec, mpeg2dec2, mpeg2dec3, and mpegdecoder.dll

Very basic script:loadplugin, mpeg2source, resampleaudio, and i also tried setmemorymax(200)......thats it...nothing too fancy...so is it a hardware issue?

got 1.3ghz athlon, 512mb ddr, raid controller

Any ideas or hints besides the obvious hardware upgrade, which i will go to dual amds next year when the 64bit chips come down a little.

Use SimpleResize and your probably pass 1.0. I have a 1.25G Athlon, 512 SDRAM, not raid (but I do encode with the source on one HD and the destination on a second HD) and I average around 1.1 without SimpleResize and 1.25 with it.

EDIT: In case anyone doesn't know SimpleResize is a avisynth plugin.

thanks for the reply!!
I will try the simple resize. I am not familiar with it. I want to keep the same resolution of 720x480(ntsc)..can i use this plugin and use the same resolution or do i HAVE to downsize?

[wmansir]

That's why your encoding slower than others, because your encoding at full D1 resolution. I was refering to my speed at SVCD (480x480) resolution, of course this is faster than full D1.

SimpleResize is used instead of the built in resize routines of AviSynth. So, if you don't use BilinearResize or BicubicResize in your script, you don't need SimpleResize.

[benf2]

Gotcha,
i guess the only alternative at this point is cpu upgrade, cause i wont downsize the resolution

thanks

:) when i made the d2v file i used mmx this time instead of 1180 reference. All previous movies i used the 1180...so i hope the result is as good. Speed went from the .937 avg to 1.12 :)
