I think that all programs will take a similar time to encode. The fact of the matter is that there is a lot of processing involved in encoding the files to make them in to the format for VCD. Therefore your PC needs a lot of processing power to do it. If you want to speed this process up, you may need to consider a faster processor, and more RAM.
As the person before me correctly mentioned. Most encoding software does in actual gact take a similiar amount of time to re-encode video files.
The important thing to differentiate is whether you are authoring or encoding your video files.
For simple tasks such as preparing a video file for burning into vcd, svcd, or dvd(mpeg2) format Nero is a good starter's program.
You can also use programs such as TMPEncode Xpress to re-author and encode your files, but you'll need a thrid party s/w to burn them.
The amount of time is pretty standard, depending on the type of quality that you're looking for. Nero normally uses a double pass encode. If you're really looking to save time, then you can use a single pass encode, but the quality can sometimes be a little hit and miss.
Normally though encoding is done on a frame by frame basis, and this is what takes the time. The only true way of speeding up the process is by upgrading your hardware to process the frames faster.

Use virtualdubmod to frame serve your avi file.. if you are having problems with your audio sync time, you could extract the audio track first. After frame serving it, use tmpgenc to convert to vcd format.
