I want to start encoding some video to H.264, but it seems to take twice as long to do so compared to Sorenson 3 Pro or Mpeg-4. I am using the Quicktime Codecs for encoding. I use the Sorenson Compression Suite version 4.2. Would upgrading my server from and AMD 2600+ to something better decrease my encoding times per clips significantly? Would dual processors help even further. I am not sure if the Sorenson Suite can utilize multiple CPUs, but I will check into that.
