im backin a movie using dvd shrink when it says encoding it says time remaining 1hr and the rate is around 2100kbs is that the normal speed.
Do you have these 2 settings checked inside Quality settings by chance? Those will be slow, but it's worth it because it will produces great quality in results. Other than that, it's probably your DMA has gone into PIO Mode or Off Mode.
i have the second box cheked off..when u guys do that how long does it take you? what does dma do..how can i make it go faster?
I hardly use DVD Shrink nowadays, but whenever I used it, I usually checked both "Deep Analysis & Compress video with high quality" and that is somewhere from 1 hr - 1 hr 20 minutes or so depending on how big is the movie and how's the compression percentage. That is why I prefer Nero Recode 2 better, with Nero Recode 2 (I use "Advanced Analysis & Slow Encoding mode high quality) I can get it done under 45 minutes, with only "Advanced Analysis" it should be done roughly 20 - 22 minutes. DMA = Direct Memory Access. If one or any of your drivers (ie burner, dvd-rom drive, or hard drive) has gone to PIO or Off Mode, then it will take you double or sometimes longer to rip, encode and burn movies. Look at below guide for reference. ((To enable DMA back ON by "uninstalling" its driver “for Win XP users” by alkohol)) Here are some helpful pictures for references. A) on "DESKTOP" right click on "MY COMPUTER," left click on "PROPERTIES" B) left click on "HARDWARE," left click on "DEVICE MANAGER" C) left click on + sign of IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers D) double left click on either “Primary” or “Secondary IDE Channel” E) left click on "DRIVER," left click on "UNINSTALL" You will see a "Warning: you are about to uninstall this device from your system," just click "OK," now "SHUTDOWN" or "Restart" your computer F) once you restarted your computer, Windows should automatically detect your DVD burner’s drive and re-install it for you. That's it...easy as smoking!! **NOTE: do these steps only if the above process failed to bring DMA back on, or you can do exactly like the above steps, except this time you "Uninstall" it from the “DVD/CD-ROM Drives” ****at Device Manager**** (A) left click on + sign of DVD/CD-ROM Drives (B) double left click on your DVD burner or your DVD-ROM drive (C) click on "DRIVER," "UNINSTALL," "OK" and then "Shutdown" or "Restart" your computer. That's it... easy as smoking!!! Enjoyed it..!!
