My avs was this simple:"DGSource("videoIN.dgi")". Maybe it would do better with AVC or MPEG2. Or maybe as Anon17 suggests, my Q6600 and/or hard drives are the limiting factor, but this is disappointing nonetheless. At least I only paid $20 bucks for the new card!
If there's something wrong with my command-line (or expectation/thought process) by all means straighten me out!
BTW I'd also done a CUDA run and it only slightly slower at 7h 28m:
