Which is a fastest DVD to DivX converter?

[src2206]

Use AutoGK and choose xviD as a codec...the result will be great.

BTW, as far as AGK home site info, it is not optimized to take benifit of a dual core processor, so do not expect a high speed if you do not have at least 1GB of RAM. Only Dr DivX is optimized to use the full benifit od a C2D proccy but it is horribly buggy , crash prone though it is free.
Conclision: Use AGK and as much as RAM as possible.

Use AGK and as much as RAM as possible.

Even AutoGK faces problem with x86 windows and more than 3GB RAM... !!!

I needed to use PAE and 3GB Switch to make sure AutoGK Can use the full ram, even though tons of it stays un-used

I am not really sure Choto Cheeta whether you shall be able to achive what you intend to, but still I do not think that you can make it work any faster beyond a limit irrespective of the amount of resources you throw at it...I think it [or any other sw] is not optimized to do that.

Well I am not very knowledgeable on this ground of tweaking, but I can vouch for AGK and XviD when it comes to Video Conversion quality.

Best of luck

Hey, I am not opposing AutoGK... even I too Vote for it as to me the best utility...

What I said, is with the RAM ammount statement, as u wrote,

Use AGK and as much as RAM as possible.

Therefore I just commented that I tried to do so, the Results are like this,

AutoGK with 2.4 GHz E6600 and 2 GB DDR-II 667 does a job within 45 to 55mins,

AutoGM while playing NFS MW with 2.4 GHz E6600 and 2 GB DDR-II 667 does the same job within 45 to 55mins,

AutoGM with 3.2 GHz E6600 and 4 GB DDR-II @ 750 MHz does the same job within 45 to 55mins,

AutoGM while playing NFS MW with 3.2 GHz E6600 and 4 GB DDR-II @ 750 MHz does the same job within 45 to 55mins,

The job was Casino Royal 4.7 GB DVD to 700 MB xvid

so, there is not much difference even change of Speed and amount of RAM in system !! and played NFS to see if it delays the proces or not....

But I just cant figure it out, why the same job with same settings takes some time 45mins and some time as high as 55mins... I run the encode atleast now 25 times Just Windows XP SP2 DX 9.0c and Drivers !!!

I guess PAE is enabled by default in XP SP2 for AMD64/EM64T ain't it....?
As your results show, that AutoGK is not using the complete hardware resources, that are available. But I guess 45-55 min is pretty good for superb quality xvid movie.
But keeping with the thread's motto(Best sw utility and not hw thing) can anyone suggest a fast converting software similar to Nero Recode 2(optimized for newer CPU) But output should be a XVID-avi. Don't like mp4 quality of Nero Recode, besides it is not compatible on many players...
