Been trying to convert a film using tmpgenc but its taking ages.
Left it going overnight at home and it had done about 2% and said it still had 350 hours left! Any idea how I can do this quicker?

Cheers

 

Get a faster machine ! Seriously, whats the spec ?

It can take a long time, especially converting from one compressed format to another, like you are. Maybe converting to uncompressed avi and back to mpeg will be quicker ?

 

Its a 1.2 gig athlon..

would have expected it to take about 8-12 hours. not 15 days...

 

Should be fine then. The estimated time is usually way out, but my old 1.2 Athlon used to go through a 2 hour mpeg in about 5-7 hours.

 

You could also try using VirtualDub to see if that works better ?

 

hey! less of the old DJD

 

Sorry mate

 

I'll give virtual dub a shot when I get home..

Cheers
