Hi Guys, I'm trying to increase the time it takes me to create my DVD's. The longest wait I'm having is encoding in CCE (2-3 hours for standard 2 hour movie) and also importing, compiling within Spruceup takes a while. Orignally I had 256Mb of memory and have since upgraded to 1Gb of memory. This made a huge difference to the times but I want to speed the process up some more..... Would adding another 512Mb/1Gb improve matters further? I checked my swapfile size last night whilst importing into Sprucup and strangely it was only 200Mb, also processor time wasn't very high either. How can decrease loading/authoring/encoding times? I'm currently running a P4 2.4Ghz, with a RAID-0 set, 1Gb XMS3200 - I'm seriously considering buying a Dual P4 board and adding another processor! What setups are you guys running these applications on? What times are you getting? And is anyone running a Dual Processor setup? Much Quicker? Cheers for any feedback, Cinders.
I'd rather put the $199 towards another P4 and a dual board!.... Watercooling is on the list of things to do, I've heard that a 2.4Ghz can easily overclock to 3Ghz, but thats a long way of me yet, loads of other things to buy yet!... As for alchohol, no you want distilled water with a touch of anti-freeze (prevents corrosion to the system) water is the best conductor of water. Alchohol will evaporate. This is going slightly of subject now...
I am not sure if you can find a motherboard that can support Dual P4 processors. That goes for dual Athlon XP processors as well. however if you do find then let me know.
Cinders, Why are you trying to increase the time to create your DVD's ? (see quote below) Personally I always try and minimise the time it takes me to create mine. Doh !! "Hi Guys, I'm trying to increase the time it takes me to create my DVD's. " :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: HomerJ :D
Since you're encoding with CCE a multiprocessor setup wouldn't give much speed increase. CCE doesn't support it. So your CPU-Use would be around 60 % and it won't speed up.
As per the CinemaCraft site.. "A computer that has dual Pentium III microprocessors, of at least 800 MHz, is recommended for real-time encoding of Full D-1." Although there is no information as to whether CCE has always been a dual-processor aware app or not. I would think that it would take too much time to re-engineer the whole thing. Seems rather foolish to write a program so heavily dependant on processing power and then not make it dual-processor aware from the beginning.
I'm currently running my authoring applications from my Primary (MASTER) C:\ drive, and pulling assets from one channel of my RAID, and outputting to the other RAID channel. Can anyone tell me what reason there might be for Win2k having decided, of it's own accord, to create a one-point-five GIGABYTE :eek: swap file on my C:\ drive? My laptop only has a 288mb swap file under Win2k! Arky ;o)
