Will encode in bundle increase the encoding time ?

Hi there,

I have this project which is 18 minutes long and encode in Apple 1080p 1920 x 1080 25fps, computer mp4 file.

Since I have this phobia of having Error -50 pops up at me, I decided to encode them in 8 parts and re-essemble the 8 parts and encode the 8 parts into 1 file.

QUESTION 1:

Why does 10.0.6 took so long to encode ? about 2.5 hours.

A similar 18 minutes file only took me under an hour to encode (ie encode at firts go without encoding in parts) to encode in 10.0.4.

But, in 10.0.6, even with already one round of encoding into 8 parts, why is it taking such a long time ?

QUESTION 2:

Another question is if I do a bundle encode to include the same Apple 1080p plus vimeo plus facebook, will the encoding time remains at 2.5 hours or will it increase due to more destinations ?

Thanks

I don't understand this – splitting it into 8 parts, etc. If you're getting an Error-50, you may have problematic media. What are your original clips?

Q1) Unless you have an extremely complex project with loads of composited clips, effects and graphics, it's a pretty long export time. Maybe it has something to do with the eight parts?

Q2) To make different versions requires more time.
