Hello!
I have a "semi" problem:
I usually encode from dv (digital video camera) to standard dvd format 
(MPEG-2); I usually use kino to convert the files.
Now, I think that my computer is a good computer to encode them (AMD64 
3000 1 GByte RAM), and I think that it uses too much time to encode 1 
hour video: about 7 hours!
I think that I set something wrong and it uses a lot of time more than 
it needs...
the problem is that I have no idea how and what check to optimize the 
encoding.
Any tricks?
Thanks, 
Luigi

Is playback in Kino also slow?  If so, try emerging it with the ffmpeg
flag. I don't know if it is still the case, but there were problems with
libdv running very slowly on some amd64 system, mine included, and
getting Kino to use ffmpeg instead was the fix.

The playback is faster... Probably 26 fps and not 25....
I already emerged kino with ffmpeg:
emerge -pv kino
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/kino-0.7.5-r1  +dvdr +ffmpeg +quicktime 0 kB

What can I try?
Thanks,
Luigi

i think the tools used by kino are rather slow (although perhaps 7 hours
_is_ a bit too much), why don't you try mencoder? you'll have to create your
own command line, but it's _much_ faster.
