My First Divx... |
|
|
Hello All,
Well I just bought a Philips 642 DVD player, and did my first Divx
conversion, one question though, is there anyway to speed this thing up, the
conversion process takes forever. I've also done conversions with Nero
digital which seems to take a third of the time Divx takes.
I have a 3.0E P4 and a gig of ram, which seems like it was bought to it's
knees... :(
Thanks,
Martin.

Everything is relative.
I capture TV programs as MPEG2, 9 to 12 mbps a/v and then
convert to Divx in two passes @ 1.492 mbps a/v. On a 2gp4-512,
this takes about 3x play time. On a 3.2gp4-512, about 2x. As
the output bit rate is barely above 2 mbps during the AVI file
creation pass, I often use a network drive target without
inhibiting the process in any way.
I use VDub-MPEG2 (and have used FlaskMPEG) to server the Divx
(or xvid) codec and always set the serving process' priority to
low (or idle).
I've not used Nero and I've no idea what you're converting
to-from with it, so I can't comment - but Divx works at Divx
speed, no matter what serving program is employed. True tho
that some filters employed in a serving program (VDub for
example), or the server itself, might add considerable time to
the process.
Converting from other than MPEG2 may or may not be quicker, but
I'm sure that it's quality relative - poor quality in or out is
faster.
