Original Video Clips: 352x288, 3700kb/s, 25FPS
VEAI mode: GPU_Medium_Progressive_Blurry_2X_CRF=18
QUESTION: At first, the converting progress was smooth, the speed was about 0.04sec/frame. But after converting about 3 clips, the speed dropped dramatically to about 1.9~2.1sec/frame, and ETA went up to about 55 days.
Has anyone run into the same problem? If yes, then how was it resolved?
I tried to reboot my PC, it worked for the first time. VEAI converted about 2 clips within an hour, but after that the speed dropped to 2 sec/frame which was just the same as before. Then I reboot my PC again, but still no use.
Don’t know what happened, should I uninstall the software and then reinstall it and try again?
ah well, you process a bunch of files in a row one after another? I rarely used that option, so I can’t tell much about it. I work on single files that process up to 12 hours and during that time the speed remains constant. I also save the video to images and run a second instance of VE AI to process the other half of the video simultanously to speed it up. I haven’t seen VE AI to slow down at some point during processing so I am courious what happens here. Is there some sort of a power saving option set accidently that after some time limits the power usage of your pc? or is it just overheating after some time?
Finally, I got my answer. Just convert the VOD clips to MP4.
The original format of some clips was VOD. Some VODs cannot be operated smoothly by VEAI. I tried to use FFMPEG to convert one VOD to MP4, and then throw this MP4 to VEAI, the problem never appeared during the process. Then I converted all the VODs to MP4s and throw them to VEAI, none of them got stuck anymore.
Problem fixed, thanks again for your reply, they enlightened me in some way.
