i cant find where i was reading the title at but my ? is how do you get Nero Recode 2 to read a movie fast like shrink? thanks
Nero Recode 2 for me hands down...!!! I don't know how fast is your processor and why your DVD Shrink is running faster than Nero Recode 2, but I've used Nero Recode 2 to encode nearly 99% of my backups and it's 2 times faster than DVD Shrink. Here is an example/comparison from Nero Recode 2 and DVD Shrink: ----------- for Nero Recode 2 ------------ ** I can encode using a "Advanced Analysis"[this will encode in 2 passes and the quality is awesome] in roughly 27 - 30 minutes. ** I can encode using a regular encoding without any "Advanced Analysis" in about 7 - 10 minutes. ----------- for DVD Shrink --------------- ** I can encode using a "Advanced Analysis" in about 60 minutes. ** I can encode using a regular encoding without "Advanced Analysis" from 25 - 30 minutes.
that is what i mean, like when i use shrink my movie will encode real fast about 20-30 min, what ever size movie it is. my recode is encoding like i'm watching the movie. how do i speed it up on encoding in recode 2? thanks
I definitely have to agree with alkohol - Nero Recode2 is faster than shrink - its my understanding that Recode2 is made by the same person that made shrink - but shrink is still older and has not been updated for a while. Did you check your DMA settings like alkohol suggested? Do you know how to check for it? My Recode2 will usual encode in about 8 mins on on regular and about 15-16 in advanced mode. My shrink will usually encode avegrage about 15-20 minutes on regular (I have never done advanced analysis in shrink so I cannot comment on the latter). Here is how you check your DMA: [bold]START Control Panel Performance & Maintenance System Hardware tab (click on) Device Manager Click IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers CLICK ON EACH PRIMARY and EACH SECONDARY IDE CHANNELS and follow these next instructions for each channel: Advanced Settings (check yo see if you are operating in DMA mode) If you see any that say PIO mode - CHANGE TO DMA Then press "OK"[/bold]
once again you guys have help me fix my problem. thanks to all of you. alkohol zhelpz arniebear, thanks for the step by step guide.
its me again, like i told you it did open it very fast(the file or disk) but it still isnt recording it very fast. like i said its like i'm watching it just cant hear the sound. any other ideas on why it is going so slow? thanks for any info.
@goman007 What burning engine/programs did you burned with? I'd still say it looks like DMA issues. Are you multi-tasking? Do you have any other programs open/running in the background while encoding and burning? Just out of curiousity, what are your computer specs and how many Memory Ram do you have? If it's Nero, then copy and paste the very last section inside "NeroHistory" and edit out your Nero serial. Now post it here, so we can see what's behind the issue here. To get your Nero log, go here: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\NeroHistory for Nero 6 or C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\NeroHistory for Nero 7.

The HP Writer seems like it doesn't like those dics or has a problem reading them... You could try updating your firmware: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1598 There are 6 updates, so be careful on which one to flash your drive with... Try freeing up some memory... End some processes that do not need to be run. Make sure you are not disabling system processes as that could crash your comp... Before you do the encoding of the movie, lower the target area to around [bold]4300[/bold] or [bold]4360[/bold]. This would ensure that you do not burn the movie too close to the end of the disc. You could try updating Nero Express by downloading the first (and second package, if neccessary) package. Nero Express 6 is currently at [bold]6.6.0.18[/bold] http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/enu/nero-up.php
I just bought Nero 7 and tried a test using Shrink and Recode. My specs are as follows: Shuttle ss56v2.0 P4 3.0 GHZ (NOT prescott processor) 1GB RAM 300 GB USB2.0 external drive 120GB GB INternal Drive Sony DRU 800a internal DVD drive Windows XP SP2 DVD43 3.6.2.111 I "backed up" a copy of Kung Fu Hustle using both programs and my results were: Shrink 58 minutes and 45 seconds Recode 29 minutes and 30 seconds Recode is the winner hands down. However, the only problem I noticed with recode is that it has a different byte size for single layer discs. I tried to backup Pulp Fiction directors cut and shrink managed to get it down to size where recode couldn't. And if I tried to change the size in recode to match shrink, it asked me for a dual-layer disc after the initial read. SO it looks like shrink is the winner as far as compression and making a DVD9 fit on a DVD5 bit recode is the clear speed winner.
Did you change your target size in Recode, you can customize it to what you want. I have never had a problem fitting a disk.
@yatman Go here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/256436 -- I wrote that guide for Newbies to backup any DVD (DVD9) movies to into a single DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW disc using DVD Decrypter, Nero Recode 2 and Nero Burning Rom. In addition, you'll also see "book typing" in there as well. It's pretty useful, so follow the guide slowly and you'll have a great quality backup in no time. Enjoyed it and happy burning...!!
@goman007 What kind of media are you using? You need to update your burner's firmware so it'll be able to read/recognize the media and its manufacture id. Here is an example from mine: Recorder: SONY DVD RW DRU-710A, Media type: DVD+R Disc Manufacturer ID: YUDEN000, Media Type ID: T02 Even if you're getting a successfully burned from the log you provided, it looks like your burner doesn't really like those blank media you're using. High quality media are Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim and Maxell (made in japan) <-- these are my top 3 choices - you can't go wrong with them.
sorry it took me a min to get back with you, but i only use "Verbatim", i think it is the best also dvd+r. quote:You need to update your burner's firmware so it'll be able to read/recognize the media and its manufacture id. how do you do that? they said it was about six of them dont want to update the wrong one. also someone said quote:Before you do the encoding of the movie, lower the target area to around 4300 or 4360. This would ensure that you do not burn the movie too close to the end of the disc. do i need to do this? so far my movies are fine.? also it was told to me that i needed to update to Nero Express 6 is currently at 6.6.0.18. what will it do different and it doesnt have to read your id# in order to update does it? thanks in advance.
The newest firmware should be fine, but should take precautions. Sometimes hacked firmwares cause more harm than good. You could use System Restore to create a restore time prior to flashing/upgrading the firmware. When I suggested you lower the target area, the main purpose is to instruct Nero not to burn too close to the edge of the disc. Many people forget to set the target which could affect the viewing of the movie. If it's working our for ya, then I wouldn't worr too much. However, if you're dealing with a long movie, then it would be wise to set the target area. By upgrading to the last version of Nero 6, this could be beneficial because it may have fixed some buggy errors that some users experienced. As long as your Nero was purchased or came with your burner, then you can just install it over the previous version without any fuss. Also, if your serial number isn't legit, installing the newer version may prevent you from using Nero.
