Question About Converting

[Bebi]

converting film files to playable VCD/SVCD files, is there anyway to speed up this process? it took me 6 hours!!! to encode a 16 minute film into SVCD and thats sort of repulsive... VCD is better in my opinion but it would be absolute hell converting a 700mb movie to playable vcd with the time factor and need to know of any shortcuts or so, I use TMPGEnc Plus 2.58.44.152

No, there is no way to speed up the process. In fact, it would probably be faster to just download the VCD/SVCD version of the file you want. That way there is no converting, just download and burn to disk.

Well I live in the uk with a pal television and most VCD/SVCD files are made for american ntsc televisions

Depending on your OS, you could use taskmanager to set the priority level of TMPGEnc to real time.

It may not be a drastic change in the time it takes to encode, but it may help a little.

i live in tha uk and i use irc and bittorent constantly to get films and they all play on my dvd player it doesnt matter about ntsc/pal, you just burn the image to disc and that it al dun no encoding needed

[Krisman]

It depends on the DVD player whether it will matter what form its in. I haven&#39;t tested mine with pal although I&#39;m planing on testing it some time soon.

Edit: Spelling

[ck-uk]

Yeah m8 99% of uk dvdplayers also play ntsc format...there not much
u can do about encodin time except get a faster cpu

[gaun]

encoding is a fucking hassle takes time and even then sometimes it doesnt work for me, at first when i saw all those little files in my download from bittorent i was like what tha fuck great but now i no how to use them they are a god send
