Encoding AVI to MPEG

[BustAcap]

I've been going through so many mpeg encoding programs, and they are all so slow!
I'm using an 800mhz AMD athlon and it takes like 700 minutes!
Does anyone know of any fast mpeg encoders?
I've tried Xing encoder, avi2mpeg, avi2vcd... all very slow.
Are all mpeg encoders suppose to go this slow?

It all takes long my son . At least 8hrs.

But Master Miyogi! there must be a faster way...

 

[urbantechie]

No son, no faster way. NOW KEEP WAXING DAMNIT

thanx... for opening my eyes to the awful truth...
In this world of super-computers and GHz/sec processors...
it takes 8 Dang hours to convert a dumb little 1 gig avi file to mpeg...
Sad, but true. .... OK ... I guess I'll just have to convert over night. Thanks

NP dude. I usually leave my comp on all day/night so mind as well do it when i'm not using it.

I used AVI2MPG and the mpeg that came out, was all messed up, any particular reason why?
