Message: <blockquote data-quote="Inker" data-source="post: 16787" data-attributes="member: 10541">cpu is key to encoding, not ram.a 1,7 ghz p4 is rather slow by today's standards, but it all depends on what you call acceptable speed and which settings you use to encode.I personally (although I do it manually) downscale all my files to 512x384 (3/4 PAL) which significantly speeds up encoding for me and also allows me to select a lower bitrate without getting artifacts.At the end of the day, it all depends on what you call acceptable (which depends on how often you do it and how patient you are).Not a clear answer I know, but I hope it helped.</blockquote>
