One also needs to factor in that the older slower computers also had less memory than today, and also that today one can be working with larger frame sizes. Less memory in the computer and more memory required to do the processing. So while a faster computer should lead to faster processing, perhaps more memory may help a bit, too.

With an 800Mhz PC, there isn't going to be any "faster" at exporting MPEG2 unless you get a hardware MPEG2 encoder card. Without such a card you're going to to see 8 FPS tops for encoding, doing single pass constant bitrate. Put it up to 2-pass VBR and it'll really go slooooowwwwww. These days you can spend a couple hundred dollars on a dual core AMD or Intel box with a couple gigs RAM and a 200+ gig hard drive, put Windows XP and AP 6.5 on it and it will effing fly. ;) (Subscribe to Tiger Direct's e-mail ads and you'll be astonished at how much computer you can get for so little money now.) I built such a box for a client who wanted to stick with Office 97 on XP. She loves it to pieces because the old Office apps launch instantly instead of taking minutes like on her old and not missed at all PC. I have a 5 or so year old AMD Athlon 64 3500+, single core, 32bit XP Pro with 1.5 gig dual channel DDR 1 RAM. That old box can do faster than realtime encoding to MPEG2 and DivX. By shopping around I was able to build it without spending excessively. The four 200 gig SATA II drives and PCI hardware RAID controller (with all four *internal* ports was hard to find) cost me just under $200. I can likely spend less than that today for four bigger drives to replace the 200 giggers. (Which I need to do before I put too much stuff on the new 1TB external... got on Craigslist for $65) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
