how to make it faster
- Thread starter dekor8tor

if you followed the exact method detailed by CM, then nope, you can't make it faster (if you want to maintain the quality).
Deffinately a better/faster processor will do the job.
With Athlon XP 1800+ you are looking at half the time it takes you or so.
It's really the only issue (sorry, just how it goes).

ya VCDs are much faster than SVCDs daveml. Takes me about 3:30 hours or so for a full 2 hour movie with my system (at 512MB DDR).
Certainly making sure you are not running other stuff helps speed things up, but otherwise it is just CPU power intensive.

For SVCD, get a faster CPU, simple as that. The A7V will take up to a 1.2gig Athlon with 200 FSB ( I had one recently myself) I now have an Athlon 1800+ and takes about 7hr to encode a 2hr movie as per my tutorial. Amount of RAM is not so important.
Read the tut and do the few things l mention at the start there like turn off screan saver, virus checker, etc.
Depending on the movie, you can select CBR rather than VBR 3 pass and end up with similar results but normally on an extra CD. A 43min episode of Star Trek - The next generation encoded as CBR or 3 pass VBR and to fit to 1 80 min CDR will have similar quality. The CBR takes 1/3 the time to encode compared to VBR 3 pass. But a 100min movie encoded as VBR 3 pass will be a lot better quality than a CBR of the same, both on 2x80min CDR's. Put the CBR on 3 CDR's and then they will be similar.
VBR will produce either smaller files than with CBR or have a higher bitrate (and better quality) if limited to the same number of CD's. I hope I havent confused you there.

Yup ChickenMan is right, it's all about CPU.
Before, I used PIII 800 MHz, took me 10-12 hours for 2 hours movie, but now I have P celeron 1.7 Ghz just only 5 hours. All this in SVCD format not VCD with High quality setting (not highest). IF you still dont see a different, on celeron 466 MHz will take more than 9 hours per 1 hour movie.

I'm running an Athalon 950 and using SmartRipper& Vidomi to convert my DVD's to DivX 3 format. It takes about 6-8 hours and I'm quite satisfied with the video quality I went step by step with ChickenMan's tutorial. Audio DON'T lag using DivX 3.0 compared to DivX 5.02.

dekor8tor, the next DVD2SVCD thats released will have a new option to encode at substantially quicker times and end up with very good quailty. Will keep you posted when its realeased.
before on my old 900t'bird it used to take around 9-12 hrs to do a 2hr svcd in high quality and to divx using vidomi around 6 hrs...at the time i didn't like the vidomi results so i stayed with svcd.....
i've recently upgraded to a 1900xp on an asus a7v333 mobo with 1g ddr, maxtor ata133 7200rpm hd etc .......and i now use vidomi with the divx 5.02 codec (bitrate set to max etc and 2pass vbr), i like the results and no audio lag either and also my encode time is down to 2.5-3.5 hrs....

yes but CCE is not good for VCDs (ugly results), only good for SVCDs.
