DVD Toolbox What is the encoding time for AVI to MPEG conversion?
This depends greatly on the computer speed, AVI source file and MPEG compression settings. When keeping the MPEG file the original resolution size of the AVI file, encoding time averages between a 10:1 and 20:1 time ratio. To optimize the transcoding speed you can also try to read the source file and write the target file on separate hard drives.
