Long Encoding Time Issue

Hey all, I'm encoding an anime dvd I have into xvid but the encoding time is ~2 1/2 hrs for the first and another ~2 1/2 hrs for the second pass. I'm using the guide on Doom9 and I've included the faster IVTC method described in that guide. I am also using neuron2's msharpen filter and I'm calling a Sub Station Alpha file for the subtitles in the avs file, other than that everything is generic. I don't know why its taking so long. The actual video length is only ~26 mins. Please help. Thanks PrinceAli0 Here is the avs file I'm using with VDub to encode. # # Created with Gordian Knot # # # # PLUGINS # get them from LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec.dll") #LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\InverseTelecine.dll") #LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\Avisynth_Spatial.dll") #LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\GreedyHMA.dll") #LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\System32\vobsub.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\decomb.dll") LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\MSharpen.dll") # # SOURCE mpeg2source("F:\DVD Rip\LOVE_HINA_VOL_1\lhvol1.d2v") LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\textsub.vdf") Textsub("F:\DVD Rip\LOVE_HINA_VOL_1\lhvol1.ssa") MSharpen(threshold=5,strength=50, highq=false) # # TRIM trim(0,38917) # # IVTC #InverseTelecine(40,10,15) # or use #GreedyHMA(1,0,4,0,0,0,0,0) Telecide() Decimate(cycle=5) # # CROPPING crop(2,0,716,478) # # DEINTERLACING #SmartDeinterlace(2,15,true,true,true) # or use #VerticalReduceBy2 # or maybe #GreedyHMA(1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0) # # SUBTITLES #VobSub("FileName") # # RESIZING BicubicResize(576,432,0,0.5) # # DENOISING: choose one combination (or none) # 1) little noise (fast) #TemporalSmoother(2,1) # # 2) medium noise (slow) #SpatialSoftenMMX(1,4,6,false,false,4,4,6,8) #TemporalSmoother(2) # # 3) heavy noise (very slow, you have been warned) #SpatialSoftenMMX(2,4,6,false,false,4,4,6,8) #TemporalSmoother(3) #SpatialSoftenMMX(1,4,6,false,false,4,4,6,8) # # BORDERS #AddBorders(left,top,right,bottom) # # COMPRESSIBILITY CHECK # !Snip Size has to be 13 for use in GKnot! #SelectRangeEvery(260,13) # # FOOL CCEnc #ResampleAudio(44100)

Investing time is the least you gotta do. You don't have a problem. Enough said. If anyone besides me feels like closing this thread, please do so.

Yup, this post doesn't really have anything to do with XviD, anime encoding is always slow due to the number of filters somtimes needed to make a good encode. If you want to discuss avisynth filters, the avisynth forum is the best place. Thread closed. -Nic
