Fastest Encoding from a VOB?

What iDCT? What program? What codec (if not xvid) I have an Athlon XP, and i want te achieve speeds higher than 20 FPS (i only get these from a VOB-converting from a MPEG is @ 50)

Vidomi is THE fastest one. With divx5.02 b-frames and mp3 transcoding at the same time. 17 fps on 900Mhz celeron.

oh god, please don't recommend vidomi. And what's your rush for speed? I encode at about 2-4 FPS on a 1.3ghz duron with lots of filters and a pretty large resolution. If you want something easy, I'd familiarize yourself with autodub 1.7 final release. Then if you want more power, you can manipulate the individual programs/components that make up autodub.

I had no problems with Vidomi on the video part, but the AC3->MP3 muxing really sucked :rolleyes: . If you would want raw speed and don't mind geeking around in Linux, I suggest mencoder. Bilu

Nics MPEGDecoder.dll also gives a little Speedboost :)

Use 1st pass for 2nd pass 

Is it possible to load a VOB file with VDubMod / AviSynth, run XVID first pass on it and do not discard the video stream but use it as source for the second pass ? This way the AviSynth filters would not have to be processed twice. If the quality of the 1st pass is too bad, would it be possible to add a quality slider for 1st pass (like the 1pass quantizer) ? Thx

Nightscape, The most obvious way of doing that would be to run the video through your filters into a HUFFYUV file, then use that as the source for both passes. Of course that takes up a lot of space, but it is truly temporary as you can delete the VOB as soon as you have the HUFFYUV file verified.

For me, this is hardly practicable. A complete DVD would take several GBytes on hard disk. And XVid does the encoding anyway, so why not in a way that I can use for further processing ?
