Fast AVI to MPEG2/VCD converter

[Jonathan93]

My brother-in-law is looking for a fast AVI to MPEG2/VCD converter. I tried out AVI2VCD, and it is SLOW!!!! Took 2 minutes to convert a 30 second AVI on a 1 GHZ Pentium 3. He has a Pentium 2 400. Anyone know of anything that could run decently fast on this? (Preferably something that wouldn't take more than 2 -3 times the movie length to convert)

TMPGenc is a good utility.

i don't think there's any converter out there that'll do real-time conversion with p2/400
not to crap or kill your hopes on this... but conversion takes time.

for complete coverage on this check out vcdhelp

yeah... video encoding takes much time (even on Athlon or P4)
you may try VCDcutter or TMPGenc though....

Thanks, I'll try these out. I never expected to get real time encoding on the Pentium 2 or the 1 GHZ, just looking for something that can do it faster than AVI2VCD (Which currently takes more than 4x the segment length to encode on a 1 GHZ machine).
