Well it very much depends upon specifics of what you're doing but a simple XviD encode would run at about 80fps+.
dvdfab
1024 x 768
100% quality (5gb files roughly)
2 pass encoding
I'm wondering how much faster it would be over my 4200+ amd x2 with 2Gd ddr ram. Get around 25fps on this. (normal dvd's not Hd stuff)

Just for the hell of it.
The optical drive is a probably the main bottleneck, I'm working through the dragonballz dvds as we speak an episode at a time, at about 140fps. This is off a ripped iso image though.

Also, why rip at a higher res than the dvd, and also at 100% quality? Kinda defeats the point of xvid! No compression on that mother, might aswell just rip out the extras and have an iso.
EDIT:
Optical not as much of a problem as i thought!
Just whacked in a dvd of Very Bad Things (great film, see it!) and using the following am getting about 100fps +-10fps.
FairUse Wizard (software used by the 'scene', flexible easy to use and ruddy awesome!)
Xvid 2 pass @ dvd res minus the black bars =720x something.
If your encoding at such high quality, its really pointless. Just the films on most dvd's come in at about 5-6gb so you could keep the dvd menus etc. and just remove random extras and use a nice .iso.
Heck for that filesize you can make a good 720p x264 rip from bluray/hd-dvd!

ohh that's fast.
I can't see a dvd drive being a limiting factor. 1 speed is what 24fps? so a 22 speed dvd palyer could do over 500fps before it becomes a limiting factor.
it's pointless btw mate, you can't 'add' quality

Takes me about 6 hours to encode a 2 hour 720P WMV-HD movie with 2 pass encoding on a Core 2 Duo E4300 @ 2.7ghz, im using Microsoft Expression Encoder 2.
I know, but I have it so it keeps the same aspect ratio and doesn't seem to take any longer to encode. I think it looks slightly better on a monitor although this might well be a placebo.
That's insane.
So your encoding all the black bars aswell
. Pointless! The application (vlc/wmp whatever) deals with the aspect ratio, its part of the file description and it digitally adds in black bars if it needs them. Your wasting bitrate there buddy!If you want to upscale to the heady heights of 1024x768 setup ffdshow to do so and make it lock the storage aspect ratio.
No offence buddy but your doing it all wrong at the moment, feel free to add me to MSN and i'll try and help you out.
Not sure what dvdfab actually does I just select main video file. Select the bitrate and press convert.
Do you know of a program called gSpot? Dodgy name i know but gives a good rundown of the video files properties.
Get it here and whack up a screen of the results on one of your previously encoded files if you could.
Heres an example.
Need to try and figure out what exactly this dvdfab is doing!
