[QUOTE="rahzel54"]@ legalize3, not many encoders encode to MPEG4/AVC. i actually use PS3 video 9 as its the best one ive tried.

like i said, single pass mode is quite good, but i can definitely see a difference between 1 pass and 2 pass. if you have a video with a lower resolution, the difference may not be as noticeable, but i've only converted 720p HD videos so far, so its easier to spot differences. mind you, i had to compare them side by side to see a difference.Crazy87

tell me how you got 2 pass please cause its just not there in ps3 video 9

Settings -> new or edit profile -> general properties -> encoder. plus there are many other settings you can tweak. theres also already profiles that use 2-pass mode. ill post a screen shot in a few. i think the author of ps3 video 9 made it so its easy and straight forward for beginners, but theres kind of hidden settings for advanced users. here, you can do anything from set the bitrate of the audio/video, select the amount of channels, set how many threads (again, for dual cores) etc.

ok, sorry for blowing up. its late ;]. you saying your times with a faster PC are the same as they are with a slower PC is pretty much saying CPU speed doesn't matter. it's simply impossible to be true. its a FACT that CPU speed plays a LARGE role in encoding speeds, as does RAM. there are so many reasons why RAM affects encoding speeds as well, but its just too late for me to want to list them and explain.

k nice

here is my question im using winavi becasue its fast and makes the files much smaller... but quality is poor

so is this program fast in converting and how big are the files after converting lets say 700 mb and is the quality any good ?


there are too many variables to answer your question.
1. CPU speed and ram
2. how long the video is
3. what setting you use
it depends on the length of the video more so than the size of the video.

anyway, from my experience, it is quite fast. i have also used winavi, and it is an extremely fast encoder, so expect times to be longer, albeit, not A LOT longer. as for the quality, in 2-pass mode, it is quite good.

not with ps3 video 9 just do mpeg-4 sp i got 3.2 ghz P4 HT does a 2 hour movie in 700mb in 30 mins i did a 340mb file its 40 mins took 18mins so it sould do 30 mins for him i did it on my old computer 2.0ghz p4 did it in 32mins


yes it does matter.
the CPU speed always matters when you're encoding
the length of the video means theres a certain amount of frames to be encoded, therefore, the more frames, the longer it takes with ANY encoder.
what setting you use, as in how many passes you use or what bitrate you use. or if you have a dual core CPU, you can enable 2 threads making it go faster.

said i have a 3.2 ghz P4 HT not dual core im using MPEG-4 SP its all ready set now first you said its cpu now its both ram and cpu? like i said this computer 3.2 ghz P4 HT and 2gigs of ram other computer 2.0ghz P4 1gig of ram it was only a 2 min dif

dude... go to ANY tech related site or ANY video encoding related site and ask ANYONE if CPU speed and the amount of ram matter in encoding time with ANY encoder. or simply copy and paste what i said, and see what they say... i'm not even going to waste my time arguing with you as it seems you're too stubborn to face fact.

Bioshock is an XBOX360 exclusive. That report has been updated and corrected since it was released. Its not coming to the PS3, it's only for the the 360 and PC.curve112
for now, it remains a 360 exclusive. however, that was posted just yesterday, and it was not corrected.

it will probably be announced on the 360 launch. or in other words, it will be a timed exclusive. it was originally planned to be multiplat until microsoft shoved money 2k games way, so they already started on a ps3 version.

but the only reason its not-so-developer friendly, is because its new. and in time, naturally, developers will get used to the hardware and it won't be so time consuming to get the same result.
