I was wondering if anyone knows of a converting program from mpeg1, mpeg2 etc to divx/xvid that is quite fast at the converting because the fastest i have finishes in about 50 mins.
To be honest there are significent differences between the encoders. Tmpegenc takes an age but the results are good. My brother and I tried out loads of different encoders to see what encodes the fastest but with the best quality video.
We basically found that for the time taken and quality of the results that "Mainconcept" seemed to be the quickest.
It is worth remembering that AMD processors fall a bit short when compared to Pentium 4's for video encoding.
I forgot to say 50 minutes is not a bad time if the film is around a hour and a half long. I dont think that you will get much faster than that unless some body knows any different
