I have taken some 10bit videos with my camera (Panasonic G9). They are 150 Mb/s files. I intend to convert them all to 8bit and only shoot 8bit in future, as I don't have a 10bit monitor.
I tested the conversion on a 570MB 4K MOV file from the camera. It took over an hour to convert.
I am using Quality = 20 ; Encoder Preset = Slower ; Audio Codec = 16bit FLAC.
I am getting between 0.1 and 0.3 FPS encode speed.
Am I doing something wrong here to be getting such low speed? I have a good computer with a fast SSD for source and destination.
Most of my camera files are in the gigabytes, not hundreds of megabytes, so ideally I want faster conversion.
