wha's agk doing different than what i am.?

here's the problem.
when running a dvd through agk vdub encodes at about 38-45fps. which is awesome.

what i want to know is how is agk doing this? why? because when i do a cap and try to encode 2 pass with vdub i only get about 6-9fps. meaning a 10 minute clip takes about 1hr15 minutes to run it's 2 passes.

i have sangnom, tomsmocopm, and lancosz resize undot and fluxsmooth in my encode that i use for caps.

i tried removing them all and just feeding the raw avi through the avs into vdub and i still get 6-9fps.

i also tried capping in mpeg2 indexing with dvd2avi and using the mpeg2source tag in my avs by itself and still only 6-9fps.

my question is more related to agk though. what is agk doing different in it's settings to vdub and it's avs that cause it's nice encode speeds, when even if i use simple avisource= tag it does super slow speed's. also, changing priorities and fast recompress in vdub still does nothing for me.

by the way, this is all on one box.
2.2ghz

have you tried feeding mpeg2 files directly to AutoGK (to make sure that is does work fast as you expect)?

P.S. if not avs filters - the only drastic difference in speed can be causes by codec options (you didn't say what it was) - xvid encodes can be slowed down by VHQ4, qpel, gmc that are not used by AutoGK.

len0x.

i'm using xvid. and for my captures also xvid, i have qpel and all those things that you mentioned off.

i havent tried feeding agk a mpg yet. thanks for that suggestion though.

XviD sources should be quite different to mpeg2 (its much more demanding on decoder), so speed should be slower indeed.
