pls pls pls help me !!

i have a p4 1.7 ghz, 256 mb ram, 60 gb hdd!!i successfully converted movies like matrix, ring and x-men to divx using dr. divx !! now, for some odd reason and also only in some dvd's, when i select properly all the ripped vob's (which run perfectly in windvd or zoom player), the audio stream detected is only of a few min. and video is encoded in 0.5 hrs. which is just of 30 min. or so !!this doesn't happens in all , but only in some cases!! so, i tried gordianknot(guide at doom9), vdub(guide at afterdawn and nanomessiah) but in all cases, in virtual dub , it sez time remaining is around 10-11 hrs. for 1st pass and video rendering rate is 4-5 fps!!all people sey they take 4-5 hrs. for a good quality divx movie!! i have divx 5.1 pro coded too!! pls help me!!why is virtual dub so slow!!?? i checked priority settings and they are set to normal!! even no background programs are running ??_X_X_X_X_X_[small]You Cannot Cheat DEATH !![/small]

 

Virtualdub isnt slow, the codec is. The codec is using a new encoding method which takes more time to analyze each frame of the movie but with much better results.

Try changing the performance/quality setting to either slow, or standard. That should increase encoding speed. If the codec isnt encoding fast enough for you, then downgrade to 5.05.

 

Ugh...I hated 5.03.

Not because of encoding speed but because of the codec's tendency to use a ridiculously high quantizer for some frames. I remember encoding undisputed, great boxing movie btw, and 45 minutes into watching it, everything went blocky; I couldnt even see anything clearly...it cleared up after 15 minutes and then it happened again...This was a HUGE problem with that version and thank God they fixed it up with 5.04 and beyond.
