Need some quick advice for encoding in Winnydows

[Alucard77]

Hey All,

I am trying Winnydows Xvid4PSP for the first time to encode a PMP file. I use to use AVI2PMP in the past, but I noticed some of the newer movies are starting to fail on encoding.

So I am curious, what is the best features to use. I have a core7 processor, so multithreading options would be appreciated, I am encoding to PMP as I like to use PMP Player Advanced to play my videos. It's better as I can control the brightness and the volume.

Also, how can I tell if the program is multithreading?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

I never tried to convert a PMP file with Winnydows. But it is a powerfull software, and also updating regularly.

It has Volume gain and also Brightness. (Select before video that you want convert and on the right you can see brghtness menu. For Volume go in volume menu in high on the left, you can reduce or increase).

I have only a core. Then I can't say you if it support multi core, but I think yes. After start to convert video you can select the "priority level" I think from there you can puch for a full power multithreading conversion.

With Multicore it has affinity and I can assign cores. I just want to see if it is actually using the cores.

I am using the best encoding methods and a 2 hour movie is taking 1:45 minutes to encode. My machine is a beast and using AVI2PMP the same movie took 45 minutes.

So there has to be some over head issues somewhere. I mean the other program hasn't been touched in years. This is new and slower then that program. Most like .Net issue.

At least the movie came in sync thought.

Ah. For sure, you can't select, how many core you can use for convert video in Winnydows.

But for setting the "priority Level" CPU usage becomes proportional. kind of "normal" "above Normal" "High Priority".

For sure ig you put the high level, software will use all cores.
