Export to Mp4 - Processing Time

[Guddu]

In Exporting to Mp4 from a 4K DCP of 124 minutes duration, the total time taken was 14 Hours 26 minutes and processing speed was shows as 3.4 fps consistently.

I tried adding a encoding server mid-way by specifying its IP on the servers tab and had DOM running on 2 servers but the fps remained same.

Does the concept of server encoding applies only to DCP creation or also MP4 export?

The server support only works for encoding at the moment. 3.4fps does seem rather slow - what hardware/CPU are you using?

AMD Ryzen 7 1700X 8 Core processor with 32 GB RAM and a NVIDIA GTX 1080 GPU. Exporting a 2K DCP is a little bit faster.
