  Media100i to Flash Video 8 Encoder

  Posted by Andrew Mehta on June 29, 2007 at 10:13 am

  Anyone able to help?
  I wanted to encode to .flv format.
  I had a 27minute Media100i self contained file.
  I brought it into Cleaner and it took between 3 to 4 hours to encode to WMV. Simple enough.
  I then took the same file into Flash Video 8 Encoder, and it told me it would take 23 hours!! I thought the timer might be inaccurate, and went to bed, leaving it to encode overnight. When I woke up, it was still encoding, and had barely made any headway, with about 17 hours still supposedly to go! Crazy!
  So I stopped the queue, and change the settings, to trim the clip so it was only just under 2 minutes. I put the custom settings back to “Medium” defaults, figuring the default settings may be faster.
  It is now telling me I have to wait 3 hours to render 2 minutes.
  What…the…fudge?
  Surely I’m doing something wrong?
  How come I can encode to WMV so much faster?
  Why is Flash being so damn slow?

  G4 Dual 450Mhz, 512MB Ram.
  OSX 10.4.6
  QT 7
  Flash Video 8 Encoder
  Media 100i 7.5 (OS9)
