I can do realtime 480x480 encoding with TMPGEnc on my dual athlon
1900+... But since I prefer the dual-pass method for svcd, it actually
runs in half-time. TMPG is probably the fastes encoder I've seen, and
mpeg2enc in linux is probably the SLOWEST (about 8x slower than TMPG),
with the worst quality results.
