I was just wondering if anyone knew any tried and trusted methods to speed up movie encoding timeframes?

Right now, i have 300 movie scenes that i have been encoding for the last 3 hours and its only actually encoded 4 of them LOL

Is it just a matter of waiting until the watch folder is finished or is there a method to speed up the encoding times that i dont know about?

Im using Sorenson right now.
