RE: [H] Time taken to convert an Avi?

2005-03-24 Thread Mark Dodge
I use VSO xvid2DVD it generally takes about an hour to do a 90 min. avi and
then auto burns it to a DVD. The only time now I use SVCD2DVD is to extract
SVCD's from .bin's and then combine them if there are two disks and then
burn a DVD.

Subject: [H] Time taken to convert an Avi?

Just wondering what how long it generally takes for others to convert avi's
to SVCD?
Currently I'm converting a BBC series "Wild Weather" into SVCD compliant PAL
mpgs before converting them to DVD with SVCD2DVD. Each avi is approx 1hr
long (720Mb) and they're taking me 2hrs each on a P4 2.8 with a gig of ram
using TMPGEnc Express. Seems a long time for such a task.

I did not mean to imply that it wasn't, in fact for reliable MPGs I
use TmpgEnc for creating my DVDs, however if I'm just watching a TV
show or something then I'll go w/ winAVI where i'm not tooo concerned
w/ quality.

are you using cinema craft as the mpeg encoder for the SVCD2DVD
implementation or TMPGenc?
TMPGenc 2.5X or TMPGenc 3.0 Express IS an encoder and in my opinion every 
bit as good as cinema craft ...even better.

that is about right for TMPGEnc  enable a couple of filters and you 
could be looking at 12 hours!

with WinAvi it takes me something like 45 minutes for a DivX AVI to
SVCD, however if I use something else like TMPGenc then it can take a
good 3 - 4 hrs.

are you using cinema craft as the mpeg encoder for the SVCD2DVD
implementation or TMPGenc?
