Nice Bill

TMPGExpress also supports GPU accelerated encoding IIRC.

Altohugh personally I have never had any success with GPU encoding on either nVidia or ATi... the best program I found (one that did not make shit poor encodes anyway) Was some 3,000 dolalr software I um "tried out" and my AMD 920 did it faster :S

BUT... maybe they made some improvements.. Might be worth 15 minutes of time to try it out.

Yeah I might check that out, thanks

When I first started doing this I took out a lot of double comercials and stuff like that during a game, TMPG makes that extremely easy to do.

I am going to have to use that KV switch I had up for sale so I can run teh bench at the same time.

All in all I am not trying to do studio quality stuff as some of these tapes go back to the 60's so quailty of the tapes are not that great in some cases.

The next step I have been working on him about doing is taking all these DVD's I have made and converting to media files and place all that stuff on a server for ease of use.

First Beta Tape captured and encoded.

Length of game... Super Bowl XXIV - 49ers vs Broncos 1/28/90 - 4 hours 12 minutes

Checked encode time on Pentium 4 machine - over 10 hours
Transfered the 58gb size file to main rig and encoded on 965XE @ 4.0ghz with all 8 threads flying - 23 minutes per DVD LOL

This will be 2 DVD's so in the end I have saved a freaking lot of time.

KVM switch is setup so I can capture and bench at the same time now
