Currently using an i7 [email protected] stock on ConvertXtodvd latest version.
A 700mb avi takes under 10 mins for single pass at normal priority.
1.4gb around 10 mins. Bluray 720p&1080p obviously take longer 15-20 mins.
How much would the encoding times come down with an i5/i7 ivy?
Or should I just overclock my 950?

If the software can make use of AVX or FMA a modern Intel or AMD CPU,would be a decent upgrade.

However,if not I would try overclocking your CPU a bit.
 
Just tried Convertxdvd 5 with 3570k at 4.4ghz and took 3mins 20 sec for a 695mb avi.

Id say definately try it overclocked.
 
indeed a bit of healthy overclocking (mobo/cooler dependent would easily knock 25% off your times

that said I do love my 2600k if you want some comparisons done point me at a file and encoding software and i'll give it a run

Very fast times there :eek: roughly twice as fast as mine.

First thing i'll do is overclock mine then and then take it from there.

ConvertXtoDVD is a terrible program. Check out TMPGENC Authoring works, best conversion and dvd making software I've found. It just needs openGL support.
