hi fellas,i'm a chinese so hope u guys understand wt i'm saying

i have used 13 hours to convert "The Gladiator"(150 mins)
settings:

h264 (HDTV-AVC) 1.5mbps , extra quality and 2-pass encoding

it takes me 3 hours to analyze and 10 hours to encode

i've closed the other applications and set its priority as high

and my pc is a Inter P4 2.8E + Winfast GeForce4 FX5900 Ultra

god,13 hours.as long as my sister make-up

i just used an hour to encode to h263

H264 is very complex and CPU-Consuming algoritm. Such encoding time is normal

More quality -> more time. Try a new x264. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=89979
Amazing quality and even slower encoding.

I would act shocked, except that I'm not. I see this complaint over on the Apple forums all the time. h264 is slow to encode. It's processor intensive, it's new and not completely optimized yet, etc, etc. People don't seem to understand that it's not a real time encoder.
