Sansgrip Filters: one Hour and a Half on a Disc?

rendalunit · #1 01-17-2003, 07:27 PM

This is the time it is taking me to encode a 100 sec sample with fluxsmooth() in the script

When I comment it out, the time drops back down to five minutes. The source is DivX. This has happened a couple times- always with DivX. Never had any problems with DVD sources though.

any ideas?

hi kwag,

here's my script:

Code:

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\MPEG2DEC2.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\fluxsmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\legalclip.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\sampler.dll")

AviSource("D:\encoding\MOVIES\CD1.avi")+AviSource("D:\encoding\MOVIES\CD2.avi")
LegalClip()
BicubicResize(320,208,0,0.6,0,4,512,375)
#FluxSmooth()
Blockbuster(method="noise", variance=0.5, seed=1)
AddBorders(16,16,16,16)
LegalClip()

#Sampler(length=24)
## MPEG size = ((Total frames/MovieTimeInMinutes)/24) * MPEG sample file size ##

The script as it is works fine but if I uncomment FluxSmooth() it's sloooooooooooooooooow!!!!! I thought my system had a virus

Now that's really weird

. Are you running the latest version of Flux, version 1.0

rendalunit · #5 01-17-2003, 09:07 PM

no, I'm running FluxSmooth version 0.2

I guess it's time to upgrade!

I'll point out the obvious thing... you have Sampler() commented out, so 1.5hours isn't such a shock...

Daagar, that's because I'm encoding the movie right now. It took 90 minutes to encode ~3000 frames.

Wow -- that one doesn't even have MMX optimizations

. In fact, 0.2 had a very bad bug that caused incorrect results. You should notice an improvement in both speed and quality with 1.0
