video encoding - HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE?

How long should the encoding take, I´m converting a movie (719 MB) and the estimated time is 25 hours, I have Pentium 3 1000Mhz.
This is the script I´m using,

LoadPlugin("E:\KVCD Converting\Filters\Mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\KVCD Converting\Filters\GripFit_Preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\KVCD Converting\Filters\blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\KVCD Converting\Filters\LegalClip.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\KVCD Converting\Filters\Sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\KVCD Converting\Filters\DustV5.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\KVCD Converting\Filters\nomosmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\KVCD Converting\Filters\fluxsmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\KVCD Converting\Filters\convolution3d")

avisource("E:\-=[ CACHE ]=-\Reign_of_Fire_(2002).XviD.DMT.ShareReactor.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
LegalClip()
mergechroma(blur(1.58))
mergeluma(blur(0.6))
GripCrop(528, 576, overscan=2)
GripSize()
SpaceDust()
FluxSmooth(7,7)
NoMoSmooth(40,1,6,1,3,false)
Convolution3d(preset="movieHQ")
Blockbuster(method="sharpen", detail_min=1, detail_max=99, strength=15)
LegalClip()
#Sampler(length=24)

It may be your blockbuster setting. Anything usually to do with sharpening kills the speed.

If you´re using 528 x 576, your resolution is big enough and you can take out the blockbuster ( sharpen ) from your script.

Otherwise your movie will be very, very sharp.

This script:

Code:

Import ("G:\sample avisynth scripts\LoadPlugins.h")



Mpeg2Source("G:\video_ts\Ronin.d2v")



LegalClip()

Telecide()

Decimate()

Gripcrop(528,480)

Gripsize(resizer="lanczosresize")

mergechroma(blur(1.58))

mergeluma(blur(0.2))

SpaceDust()

FluxSmooth(7,7)

NoMoSmooth(40,1,6,1,3,false)

Convolution3d(preset="movieHQ")

DctFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,.5,0)

GripBorders()

LetterBox(0, 0, 8, 8)

LegalClip()



Sampler(length=24)

Takes about 55 minutes on my 1.8 Gig P4 with 512 Mb Ram.
I'm thinking something must be wrong! :(

Hi Smoochie3,

Check your TMPEG settings, and make sure you set your environment NOT to use multi threaded. Just one CPU.

I removed the blockbuster but it didn´t work, could someone suggest a script for me, I mostly encode .avi´s that are around 700 MB´s, I wan´t to fit them to a 1 700 MB cd!

Hey Kwag,

What OTHER settings should i check besides the multithreading? I have it unchecked, it's still taking 55 minutes to complete. Strange.

8O Then maybe it's an interaction with one of the filters and the Athlon processor :idea:
Try removing a filter at a time, to see which one is causing the long encode time :!:

This script has an estimated time of 5 hours, I tried it with fluxsmooth but it takes twice as much time with it, suggestions?

Remove FluxSmooth, and try NoMoSmooth.
