Processing time

[techreactor]

How much time does it take on an average(by experience), if we have to use DVD-RB with HC Enc to rebuild a commercial movie.

This is taking into assumption that the menus have been shrinked and the extras have been removed from the original DVD. Lets say a 7 GB of the DVD left for conversion using DVD-RB.

And the processing is done on a Pentium system with decent ram.

Budget on overnight - 6-7hrs on "best"

here are a couple of encoding-only times:

OPV mode was used however and no pentium

Uncasms, so you are beating the 1/1 ratio (126 min main movie + 35 min extras = 161 minutes)/(32 bit sse mmx 113 min ) inverse oops!
how long for a rebuild and preperation?

The encoding time for me with HC is 6 hours plus 20 minutes for rebuilding with a Athlon XP 2000, 512MB RAM.

Using HC mine takes 314min

keep in mind that i said OPV mode not 2pass mode

a normal 2 pass took 221 min (cant remember which idct was used) and thus opv took only approx. 51% of the time needed for 2 passes

preparing took 3 min, rebuilding 10 min for this title (van helsing)

I just started using DVD-RB.
It took about 710 minutes to do a movie only no extras or menus of a 6Gig file on a P3 with 640 of ram.

OT question, Is it ok to delete all the files in the WORKING folder and the D2VAVS folder after i'm done burning?Is there a setting to do this automatically?

Using V0.96 with the HC encoder set to BEST

[UncasMS]

having checked your created material and found it flawless you can of course delete those directories

maybe you might want to keep the logfile for some time as questions can turn up a couple of times later on and a logfile can help when searching for answers

Ok thanks,I've got some more questions about using DVD-RB and bitrates. I'll do some searching first.

[UncasMS]

dont hesitate but please start a new thread

For me a 120 min. movie takes about 150-160 min. with 2 pass and best settings.
Running a P4 3200 @ ~3500 MHz, 1 GB ram.

[UncasMS]

so you're saying that is the time to beat then, hank, dont you?

i'll try to pick ~120 min title tonight and see how long it'll take

in case my time will be slower i'll blame you for using a special optimized version, which you must have kept for yourself so far

[Chewy]

it's optimized for P4 not amd64

[UncasMS]

i know

the more curious i am to see how well an amd can do ^_~
