Compressor times…
Anyone know what is considered reasonable for rendering out MPG’s in Compressor…?
Examples… 80 minutes original 1920×1080: 2-pass VBR to SD (MPG-2) takes about 14 hours, including about 10-15 minutes for AC-3 audio
same 80 minute uncompressed timeline took about 3 days 7hours 21 minutes to yield a two-pass VBR H.264 MPG4 for HD-DVD.Good, bad, seriously out of whack? G5 PowerPC, nVidia Quadro 4500… pretty standard FCP setup.

That’s about right…a 93 minute 1080 to SD single pass took my Dual 2.5 about 6.5 hours. So twice as long for 2 pass…
and h264 is just plain slow. hopefully the rumor that apple will start including some hardware h264 solutions comes to pass.

I’ll agree…
I’ve seen time like that on my Mac Pro Quad 3.0.
A 25 minute HD program compressed for DVD will take me about 3 hours. I haven’t tried an H.264. I did try to create an HD-DVD once from that timline and Compressor estimates the compression time to be about 36 hours for a 25 minute HD program.

Compressor’s 2 pass renderings all seem to be painfully slow…..
