Having made DVDs of several performances over the years, I am wanting to store a few on my laptop.
I can save over half the storage space by encoding to AVC MP4 at 2Mbs. The quality at this bitrate is quite acceptable for playback on my laptop.
Problem is, every encoder I've tried is slow as snails. Super seems to be a little faster than MainConcept, Handbrake maybe about the same, but is there another one that stands out as being faster than the rest? Or am I stuck with five-hour renders to get the quality vs. compression advantage that AVC offers?
