Is Speed Encoder Gone?

[Rusty]

Finished my first E5 project and expected to find Speed Encoder as part of the HDV export options. (not a conversion)

Currently rendering a 25mbs/sec .m2t file on a second box at 0.33X RT.
:~/
But using 100% Core2duo CPU
:~\

Uncheck conversion and there should be an HDV export preset (If I remember correctly).

[Rusty]

There are two non-conversion HDV presets.
Neither are Speed Encoder.
Maybe I'll miss it for the speed.
Maybe I won't for the random crashes.

Both of them gave me 100 %cpu on all 8 cores, no need for the unreliable speed encoder anymore.

[Rusty]

So it's R.I.P. Speed Encoder and PCE...
I hated the wizards.

oh well...

Love the export options.
Batch Export looks to be the way to go and the new HDV export can automatically load your export into TS Writer. (and roll tape too? unconfirmed tickbox option... pretty cool)

Speed Encoder is no longer necessary - the technology is built into our MPEG exporters.

[Rusty]

Ok... I picked Select Exporter Plug-in > HDV > (Enable Conversion) HDV HD2 1080 59.94i
I kind of expected better than 0.33x RT, but it is what it is.

It would be helpful to know where to find Speed Encoder performance.

That is weird, it max out on all of my 8 cores, do you render it to a different drive than the original files?

[Rusty]

Oh sher.. with fancy-shmanchy 8 cores what-evur :~)

On the same Core2Duo (maxed) I used before and read/write to the same single drive I used before but have gone from 0.95X RT to 0.33X RT. I'm just not sure I'm using a setting that includes (what used to be) Speed Encoder nor is it apparent in the presets.
