also, when playing the files on my ax 51v, there is a noticeable audio to video lag. any ideas???
"Quick" is a relative concept. The actual play time of the original movie is your baseline measurement. Some programs take longer than that to encode some less. With that in mind your 1h 38m is considerably faster than the movie's 1:57. I like smaller file sizes so I encode at 220 for Video and 80 audio and I use 2 pass to improve the action scenes. 2 pass of course doubles encoding time. Secondly your audio lag comment reminded me of the other reason for encoding in Divx and using TCPMP. Going that route cleared up my audio probs.
