The time it takes to encode is directly related to your settings. What's the bitrate, the resolution, do you have any filters applied to the footage (i.e. color correction, deinterlacing, etc.). The more filters you stack onto your footage the longer it will take to use the h.264 codec. And technically you are re-encoding an already encoded video. If you take a generic mp4 and change it into a h.264 mp4 then that will likely take at least twice as long as taking a Quicktime movie file and transcoding that into a h.264 mp4. Other factors that determine your speed are your specific machine--PowerPC or Intel. Intel are much faster than PowerPC but the bottom line is that h.264 is a beast of a codec to render out. That's why God gave us weekends (leave your computer rendering Friday-Monday)! Lee~h.264 encoding is extremely processor intensive. The time it takes to encode is directly related to your settings.

Changing mp4 files into mp4 files h.264 codec and its taking quite a while for larger files. I found your blogg a little helpful. Im only adding text graphics...should this be taking so long? Im looking for helpful tips and any issues I should be looking for for trouble shooting (no errors come up but it is taking up to 3 hrs to render 5-6 mins....
