Avisynth: CCE encoding Speed?
 

Hi all

Below is my avs script, I have AviSynth 2.5.3 and CCE 2.67, source has a res of 640x272, computer is a Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz, I get speed of 0.17 in CCE, quite slow, is it normal ? Anyway to optimize it ?

Thanks

There he is:

PixieDust(limit=5) ;-)

Nice, one of the bests BUT SLOW!!! When performing on full size images (and even on lower sizes).
This is an avs 2.0x plugin, so you should change to an avs 2.5x one.

Whats your source? As you convert to YUY2() I assume you deal with a Dvix/Xvid ??? If yes, look for the optimal AVI scripts in here as they do perform much fatser than yours and where's no colorspace conversion needed in case of Xvid/Dvix sources. :arrow: much more speed!

EDIT: I'm not shure but does all this result from DVD2SVCD???
So your Source seems to be a DVD?? Is a such heavy filtering really needed?

Yes, you're right, the source is Divx/XVid and I use DVD2SVCD to convert.

I've tried the optimal script here but the result is not as smooth compare to PixieDust.

Is there a AviSynth 2.5 version of PixieDust ?

No there isn't.

But there do exist diff. versions of the optimal xvid scripts, ...
Give them all a try and do preview your avs using vdub or zoomplayer before encoding

OK, I'll try other Xvid optimal scripts.

Ein glückliches neues Jahr wünsche ich dir :)

Dir auch! Happy new year! :)
