Also, what type/speed CPU are you using?
Oh, it ain't fast at all, especially 2 pass. Probably about 3 hours. It varies. An athlon 3000. You can speed it up a lot by taking out some of the quality options. I haven't done a full raft of experiments to see what you really need. Note mythtranscode is just one pass. Definitely something you want to do in late-night background jobs.
