Well it all depends on your processing power. 70 something hours seems a bit long unless you have a shite computer then thats normal. With an average computer a day is normal.

It also can depend on what you’re using to encode.

Normally it takes about 6 hrs to encode a DVD-movie to XviD (2-pass, with the minimum of visual enhancements/adjustments ticked) on my PC (996 Mhz AMD, 128 ram).

The speed of the actual XviD codec is exceptional.

What is your source for the encoding? If you’re re-encoding an AVI to MPEG1/2, this will take quite a bit of time, but as Anon said, it shouldn’t take 76 hrs.
