Xvid & X264 ?

Hi
been making the effort to try and encode to both Xvid & X264.Just a question on this matter.

1) is there a set time for encoding of either Xvid or X264 for say a 1 Hr 30 Min movie target size 700 - 800 Mbit.? As in how long should the average film that long take to convert to either 700-800Mbit File.

Thanks

 

It depends entirely on the capabilities of your PC.
Faster CPU, dual-core, more memory, etc,etc -
All of these speed up the processing.

Your question is completely without context, because you neither state
the times you're getting, nor do you mention your PC
configuration.

 

I was not looking for an exact timeline simply an approximation.?

 

I have a modest machine, dual core AMD x2 4200 (2.2G Hz)
2 GB of memory. I can encode a movie perhaps 30 - 45 minutes.
(single pass Constant Quality)

 

using h264 codec 700mb 2 pass mode (fairuse wizard full version)

These are some of the cpu's that I have used and currently using the phenom for all my conversions.

amd 3000 single core = 4 hours
intel coreduo 6300 = 3 hours
amd phenon quad 9750 = 2 hours

The intel quads are even faster.

If you want the best quality, you need to use the 2-pass mode.

Here's another good review:

Not really, 2 pass encoding is basically used to hit a specified size.
