CPU processing speed comparisons for .avi conversion to VCD

If you capture the TV show as an MPEG and use womble's mpeg-vcr to remove

It depends on a lot of factors but my AMD 3200+ does about 43 fps going
from Divx to Mpeg2 to make a DVD.

I get anywhere from 40-50fps on an Athlon64 3000+ (desktop) and an
Athlon64 3200+ (my laptop).
