FLV compression – **painfully** slow… anyone else?
Does anyone else find compressing Flash 8 video via On2 VP6 really, really, amazingly…. slow? Painfully slow if using Squeeze and annoyingly slow using ON2’s stand-alone encoder. We’re talking like 3 hours on a dual G5 2.0 via Squeeze…. for a 3 MINUTE video (two pass). Like taking a step back in time.

No,
I am running a quad 2.5 with 2 gb ram compresing a 33 min dv ntsc timeline to .flv ( 240×180 ) and it its going to take 45 minutes using FCP -
If FLV encoding is a major focus of your encoding, I would suggest checking out Popwire’s encoder in Compression Master. There is a builtin encoder and a secondary encoder that they licensed and optimized for the G5 and Intel ($99 + the cost of CM). The Popwire encoder is incredibly fast; it is by far the fastest FLV8 encoder (based off of On2’s encoder at least) I have ever used, on any platform.

Maybe it’s the size I’m encoding? 480×360, 2-pass, best quality.

Nope, size shouldn’t matter that much. Increasing framesize will increase encoding times of course, but for 480×360 compared to 320×240, the difference shouldn’t be that extreme.
