Make sure the Start encoding immediately is selected and click Next and go to sleep, TMPGEnc will now encode the video file and this can take up to 20hrs (or even more with slower machine). Is there an app that will convert avi faster than this? I never have my PC on for more than a few hours a day, an i cant be arsed to wait 20 hours for a conversion (14 is the fastest it would do a film i tried)
It just depends on the quality you want and the speed you want. There are other high quality MPEG encoders like CCE Cinema Craft Encoder or MainConcept Encoder. http://www.cinemacraft.com/eng/home.html http://www.mainconcept.com/mpeg_encoder.shtml They may have as good or better quality and may be faster. I have heard that MainConcept is quite a bit faster. Those and many other MPEG encoders. http://www.softlandmark.com/VideoEncoder.htm WinAVI Video Converter. http://www.winavi.com/video-converter.htm Powerful video decompress/compress engine, the converting speed is fastest in the world. Convert a whole movie in any format to DVD only needs 90 minutes. It depends if the quality of a fast encoder like that will satisfy you or if you need the better quality of a slower more high end encoder.
