Seriously? The Eureka seveN movie is even bigger than those and it only took me 21 hours on a slower CPU than yours, with more filtering. Except that most filters are optimised for Intel CPU's now.
The first thing you have to realise is that 1080p is BIG. Just because 1920/720 and 1080/480 aren't that big ratio changes doesn't mean the number of pixels involved doesn't jump dramatically. The pixelcount is a multiple of the two, so realistically, your filter has to process 6x the number of pixels of a DVD, making it take 6x the time at LEAST. Then you have to remember that at the higher res, the motion vectors are much longer, so temporal filtering will also take considerably more time. This however isn't a problem for you, as you are just loading directly, but if your encoder is not lossless, or if it is but isn't intra-coded, it will also be processing these longer motion vectors. I do think the time is excessive, but that really depends on your PC specs and encoder settings. Post them if you want a better idea of why it is being 'slow'.
