divx to dvd

Hi all, hoping someone can help....

I'm pretty new to all this! just started downloading movies files, mostly avi., and i am using the older version of divx to dvd, purely because i am told it is faster than the newer one. i originally tried the newer version, but i was only getting a conversion rate of about 9 or 10 fps! Now i'm using the older one, and got rate of about 19 fps, so yes its faster, but everyone elses seems to be going over double this speed!

My pc stats are - celeron 2gb, with 512 ram, and 80gb hard drive.

I have looked at other threads to see if any help, but not really helped, as i only have 23 processes running (recently did fresh install of xp, so hardly anything on pc at mo). I defintely haven't got any viruses or spyware etc, but my cpu is running at 100% while its doing the conversion, and rate is sooooooooo slow! i dont know what else it could be. I haven't got any other progs running at same time, or online....
is it just a rubbish cpu?

 

That's strange im running xp home edition and it takes me about 1hr45min tops to encode a 750mb.avi or divx .*avi into dvd. Try using different files, see if u get better results.

 

hi

if you want the quailty the same on dvd as the input avi try useing film machine for xvids a free app, i use it and it tkaes 2 and half hours, but time is a sacrifice for dam good kickass quailty, i want quailty so time isnt an issue for me, i use CCE as the encoder in FM

set it and go to bed or work or dig the garden, etc...

use dsroba function it has 4 passes in 1 pass with cce

 

thanks, its just driving me mad now, doesnt seem to be anyone that can point out the actual problem! Looks like i'll just have to lump it..... !

 

hi

how long is an avi taking to do?

1 hour 30mins ?

 

i see what you mean.I'm running both win2k and xp home edition.On win 2k a 700meg file takes 1hr but the same file using the same converter on windows xp home edition takes 90mins

go figure

 

its taking 2 hours or more to covert a basic 700mb avi movie, no matter which file i try....

 

hi

just over 2 hours for me on a 3gig cpu 1gig ram system, useing film machine / avi2dvd - quicker with divxtodvd but i dont use it

 

ok, no worries, thank you anyway....

 

i'd hazard a guess and say you need to up the ram and the chip.
I'm running a AMD2600+ with 1024 ram (total hard drive 240 gig)
