I have 640 megs of ram and I'm running at 2.2 GHz. If I got more ram would it significantly speed up the transcoding process? Right now it takes me about 3 hours to do a full DVD. My computer can take 2gigs of ram max. but I don't want to invest another $100 to save 5 seconds.
1. Take your email out of your siginture box because its no allowed 2. 2 gigs of ram can probably make it done it 15 minutes or so i have 1 gig and it takes me 45minutes
are you telling me that your computer can transcode a full dvd in 45 minutes? YOu must be running at 10GHz. If 640 megs takes 4 hours I doubt 2 gigs will get me down to 45 minutes. I'm thinking I need more computing power. What system do you have? And how long are the movies you make? Normally, I"m burning a movie that is about 2-3 hours long.
1. Take your email out of your siginture box because its no allowed or you will be banned 2.Umm it really my sister cpu but it is p4 3.0ghz and has 1 gig, and the movies i burned was 1:45
@jonesmike What are you doing while transcoding, are you multi-tasking, do you have the internet running? When was the last time you defragged, and are you doing your backup on the fly because this will take longer. I have a 2.4 processor with a gig of ram and it does not take me much longer than 15 to 20 minutes unless I use Shrink with quality enhancements or DVD Rebuilder which can take hours. Also, check and see if DMA is enabled for your drive. http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/checking DMA.pdf
i'm with arniebear, most films i do (movie only) take 15/20mins to transcode, then 15mins to burn to dvd at 4x max. A full disc or an episodic disc may take 40mins but no more than that.. @jonesmike - you still haven't removed your email address from your signature..
@ jonesmike you had several warnings now lease remove your email or i will have to call a mod to take care of it.....I hear thunder(lol the first time i wrote that)
if you'll notice a few posts up, i am already subscribed to this thread. give the guy a chance to do it for christs sake. he's been told a few times on this thread already so i see no need to make a post just to warn him again. and there's certainly no need to get all vigilante on him, thats my job.
Ok, I thought the problem was Nero. But with everyone's suggestions I'm going to conclude it's HOW I use my computer that causes the delays. I'm ALWAYS muti-tasking, I'm always online and my computer is always doing 4 or 5 things at once. I can live with the 3 hour time to make a DVD, because I can't live with having my computer on and not having online Texas Hold'em playing in the background. thanks guys (and gals?)_
