Out of curiousity what is the average processing time for this script on a quadcore computer?
I'm currently looking at 32 hours. I'm using an AMD Athlon II quadcore, 2.9 GHz, with 4GB RAM. I also have an ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card which, under Windows 7, takes advantage of DirectCompute 11 (i.e., the graphics card takes on some of the processing tasks), which is supposed to be beneficial for such things as encoding.
Prior to this system, however, I was looking at a 6-7 day encode.
Edit: Oops, looks like I was only looking at the time for the first pass. I guess that means I'm really looking at 64 hours :(
Damn. That is pretty long. I have done renders before in both Premier and Vegas which took 15hrs for things but 32?!? Damn. Don't think I could cope with all my processing power being used for 32hrs on a render - need to use my comp for lots of other things as well.
Hmm, all the more excuse to upgrade I guess. This old thing has done me proud for a number of years. It's only logical I also get me something new that lasts me as long.
Has anybody tried this script on an Intel i7/i5/ or AMD Phenom X6? Would be interesting to know peoeple's processing time with those.
