Hi,
I have an Amilo Li1718 with Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2080 @ 1.73GHz CPU and 1Gig of Memory. Attached is system info from cpuz v.1.48 if this helps...
What I want to do is use my system to encode HD Source roughly 8Gig in size into HD 720p h.264 at around 2Gig in size.
I am using Virtualdub and x264 codec to do the encode and did a test run last night.
The outcome is very acceptable quality but the encode took around 5 1/2 hours, which is doable over night.
My Questions:
I need to reduce the encoding time down as much as possible/doable.
Would upgrading the ram on its own help much? If not Would upgrading the cpu (can this be done?) help and if so How would I go about it?
I have been playing around with insides of various laptops and desktops in the past, so I am not affraid of getting my hands dirty here, although I have not as of yet been into the Li1718.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.
