If MPE speeds this up I'm buying a new GFX now!!

David,

I may need your help since I never really use WMV to encode files. Here is what I setup in my export settings and you can let me know what I did wrong/right:

Export Settings:
Windows Media
Preset Custom

Video:
Codec: WMV 9 Professional
Encoding Passes: 1
Bitrate mode: Constant
Pixels: 1920x1080
Frame Rate: 29.97 (matches my footage)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square 1.0

Bitrate Settings
Max Bitrate: 10,000kbps (10Mbps)
Image Quality 100

Audio Same as your listings.

Total output time was 11mins and 2 secs. Video quality looks absolutely perfect, but wasn't sure if my settings match up with yours.

11mins! hah and there is me with my 4 hours!.

Only difference is my source CFHD file is 1440*1080 1.33PAR and I'm outputting to 1920*1080 1.PAR and I'm doing 2 passes instead of 1.

Now I wonder if I can get a GTX 470 tomorrow.

Was the 4hrs through CS4 Adobe Media Encoder? If so, that probably explains the majority of the problem.

Yep. Edited a few clips together then exported them to a master CFHD file.

Export that file and it took 3 mins to create the 1.7GB CFHD file. Added this file back into CS4 and exported to WMV file. So there isnt any effects it rendering its just compressing and resizing the clip.

In my tests I exported to the Lagarith Lossless Codec in the .AVI wrapper. But many other modern codecs could be used in the test as long as they have exactly the same export settings.

I've heard from various sources that the HD to SD quality in CS5 was improved over previous versions. But in my tests the CS5 versions were noticeably softer than the CS4 versions using the exact same settings.
