Encode times

[Koing]

Laptop is encoding a 5Gb raw avi to an mpg for vcd.

It has been on for 3hr30m36s and counting. 2hr49m6s to go. DAYUUUUUUUUUM.

Laptop is:

PIII 850
384mb Ram
20Gb hd.

Would use my pc but I didn't have the space as I had other raw avi's on it. Wonder how fast it would be.

So can you guys give me some *rough* times for your encodes. Using Primere and the Cleaner EZ to do it.

I have been reading and learning stuff at this site:

http://www.dvdrhelp.com

So what other good sites do you guys go to?

Also a question for you guys.

When I had the raw avi and when I encoded it to wmz at any bitrate either high or low it had lines across the movie. When movement was. Why is this happening and how can I fix this so it doesn't show up like so. I read on the webstie that it has something to do with the interlacing lines. The odd and even ones. So how do I fix it. Didn't seem to give me a fix. Just that I could choose either with a program to get better results. But surely there is actually a way to get rid of this?

Also how do I get Preimere to use divx to encode a file after the edits? Or do I have to use VirtualDub or something like TNMPG (how ever it goes)?

Thanks.

ps pc is

P4 2.4 OC 2.7
512mb (256x2) Corsair 3200LL
Asus deluxe granite bay mobo
GF4Ti4200 Asus VIVO 128mb

Anothe question. The graphics card doesn't play a role in the encoding times right?

You can buy some capture cards that says it does *real time* stuff. So do these help with encode times or only the transisitons or what not?

I am a noob so bear with me.

Graphics card does NOT play a role in encoding times.

Why are you using uncompressed files? What were the sources?

Captured from DVcam using firewire. They are being compressed to an mpg so I can burn it using nero to get a vcd to play on dvd players.

So then it's not a RAW file, it's DV compressed.

The realtime features of cards is for playback only and has nothing to do with encoding times.

Don't have premiere, so I couldn't tell you

Ok.

I thought DV was compressed but the rawest file you could get right? Its about 220mb per minute or something like that.

So the realtime features of a card only help to make the edits faster, in that you don't have to encode to get the preview of what it would look like in Premiere? Like a transition you have to wait until it finish's encoding before you can preveiw what it actually looks like?

DV isn't the rawest file you can get, uncompressed is. It's ~30MB/s compared to ~3.5MB/S.

ok

I use TMPGenc on my 3GHz system, I can encode stuff over 29fps so normally encode faster then the movie would take to play back. Depending how much I multi-task. VCD? I haven't encoded a VCD for years, lowest I've done recently is SVCD... but mostly I'm doing DVD and divx ocassionally.
