  depends on the video codec, you want to convert to,
  
  rm 9, it will be faster....... about 30 min
  
  but i usually set the codec to rm10, which a typical anime ep, which will take me around 1 hour to finish
  
  i have about 130gb worth of rm file, if those are avi file, even you give me a 500 gb file, i doubt it will be enough lor
  
  so converting is a daily process bah
  
  if you have over 100 gb worth avi file, i think you need at least 10 days to finish converting

  Hallo...
  
  Yes I agree...
  
  For real-life movies.....the best compression-to-quality format is the H264 format.
  
  For anime...because of their less texture/ details...the best is RMVB....

  Many factors affect compressions
  
  1. Processor Type and Speed
  2. RAM
  3. HDD Space/ Free HDD Space
  4. Original Video/ Audio size
  5. Output Video/ Audio size
  6. Output Bitrate
  7. Codec
  8. Encoder complexity
  
  This is a wild guess, but assuming u encode CQ and your processor is able to handle them in real time, it will take 300x24mins=7200mins or 120hours

  wmv or mp4 saves the most space but the quality cmi.
  
  still prefer avi with hi-quality codec.

  My com
  
  - 640ram
  - 350waltz psu
  - total video input 300gig
  
  If i convert will the convertor create a new output?
  Or will it just convert and the file will stay put at the same folder?
  
  Please reply and reccomend me programmes. Thanks.

  As long as u dun name it the same name as the input file, i believe yes.

  It all depends on where u put the output file.
