Hi All , It took me more than 20 hrs to convert a 3 hours DVD movie to svcd ! ,so I'm wondering if there is something to do to make the operation faster .. here is what the log file says about CCE speed : Closing program CCE Max Speed: 0.720 Video Encoding finished. is it too slow ? what is the max speed I can get? please not that i have : Inte Pentium 2 GHz 512 MB of Ram Windows XP Pro. How can I know if my 512 Ram is not just a number !& that I'm really using a 512 mb of Ram ? Waiting for your support. Best Regards
This issue has been dicussed numerous times so please do a search and read up. The speed is very dependant on how u encode. A 4 pass VBR will take longer than a CBR. Also if u apply filters like Temporal Smoother or choose another resize method like Bicubic the encoding speed will suffer. Take a look at the Q&A, no. 4. The best advice I can give is to try different setting and test the quality of the encoding. If u find a CBR encode is good enough for you then don't do a 4 or 5 pass VBR as the encoding time will increase. I do CBR encodes with a video bitrate above 2000 and get OK results in my view. I can do an 90 min. movie in 1-2 hours on a AMD 1.4Ghz and 512MB DDR-Ram.

If you want you can try these settings and see what you think. They are what I use for all of my movies. On the audio tab set your audio to 192 or 224. You DONT need to do the audio downsample as most DVD players can play 48KHz. On the frameserver tab select TemporalSmoothing with a stregth of 2 and a radius of 1. On the bitrate tab set the max bitrate to 2500 and the min bitrate to 300, uncheck min average and set max average 2350. On the encoder tab select CCE with 1 pass VBR. Make the q factor 5 and set Image Quality Priority to 5. With these settings and an Athlon XP 1800+, I can do a 2 hour movie in about 3 hours and the quality is some of the best that I have seen. You should be able to get something faster the CCE speed that you got above with a P4 2 GHz. A friend of mine has the older P4 1.9 and he get speeds of 1 to 1.2.

Looks like on my last post the pic didin't make it! Any way the time to encode the movie (1:45 min) with the settings used by Jason28 was 7:50:02 :confused: So I was expecting to see something like 3 to 4 hours on the movie I was going to try to encode, what Jason28 didin't mentioned is if what kind of movie was he talking about, was it a film? Anime? I was trying to encode "Spraggan". So Jason28 any input will we welcome cause I was using VRB 4 pass, but now that you mentioned only 3 hours vs 8-9 I am really looking foward to that. :o My Specs are: XP 1800 40 GB 7200 rpm HD 512 DDR :o
If you would have read the forum rules, you would have seen that attachments must be verified by a mod before viewing (I assume you put the pic up as an attachment). As for the speed/settings - I find them hard to believe too, which is why I plan to run some tests.. you should do the same before doubting.
