what is your converting speed

I have lots of .RM files and I want to keep them as VCD.
So I have to convert them to mpeg.
To my great surprise ,i takes me more than 5 hours to finish converting with EOvideo.
By the way ,the video is as long as 52 min.
my pc:
athlon 2000+
512M sdram
----------------------------
I just want to know whether anyone has done this like me and what's the speed.
What tool do u suggest for converting RM to MPEG?

 

Actually that is pretty good conversion time m8. I have yet to convert a .rm file to mpeg, but I have done dvd2divx backups using Vidomi on a AthlonXP 1.7+ and it takes me about 5 hours average to encode (2-pass).

So what tools would u like?
I used EOvideo but any other good tools?

 

Other than converting .rm files, what formats m8? (DivX, VCD, SVCD)

At the same bps,the quality of RMVB is certain to be much better than wmv/asf/avi.

So I usually get .RMVB files!
