But that's just an idea I had.

Not everybody thinks like a crook.

BTW....Still encoding. :glugglug

My second guess is 62 hours. Is that acceptable?

Go back and read the rules, young lady.

Don't make me fly out there and spank you.

I have 41 videos running on a batch encode with Cleaner XL.

Each video is being encoded in the following bitrates, formats, and resolutions.

1200k WMV 720x480
512k WMV 360x240
56k WMV 160x120
512k RM 360x240
56k RM 160x120

Each video is exactly 30 minutes in length and the master files are 6.25 gigs each.

While they are encoding, my clients logo is being overlayed by Cleaner.


Now a little about the encoding machine....

2.8ghz Pentium 4
1gb Ram
More than enough hard drive space.

The person who guesses the closest to the length of time it takes the batch to finish....WITHOUT GOING OVER......Will win $500.00 CASH payed through PayPal.

If the same guess is made by more than one person then the person who posts it first has claim to that answer...The other person is a dumbass for not paying attention to the other guesses.

One guess per person. If you submit two guesses, you're disqualified.

The batch has currently been running for almost 14 hours.

Somebody is gonna win $500.00 in this thread....Is it gonna be you? :glugglug




You have left out a very important piece of information. Are you doing 1 or 2 pass encoding with the WM encoding? 2 pass will just about double the encoding time of WMV.

Can I guess for both?

I left that out on purpose. THat's why I have not replied to the other people who asked about it.

No, only one guess....And it's still encoding. :glugglug

Maybe if you knew the difference between an editor and an encoder then your opinions might hold some weight around here.

Even if it was encoding in the same amount of time that it takes to watch all that video, you would still be looking at 102.5 hours.

thats 5 versions, 30 minutes ea, 41 videos total. The machine should be able to do all the batches at a 1:1 ratio.

5*30*41= 6150 MINUTES

or 102.5 hours

or 4.27 days

bump.
