Well boys I dont have aby other ideas. I have never come across that problem myself. All I can say is search this forum and others for that particluar problem till you come across somthing helpfull. Whish I could help more.
One more sugestion I duno if it makes a diffrence but do you have any anti-vires programs like nortons or any other programs running in the background? Try turning them off you can also click Control alt delete and click the processor tab and look in the list for programs that might be running in the background that you could turn off 1 at a time. Do this while shrink is running see if the time goes faster after you turn of one program at a time.
cdan I did some resarch and found a place where a few has changed there DVD-Roms around on there IDE cable and it fixed the problem with there slow Shrink times. so I dont think it would hurt for you to try if you want. Open up your computer and switch the connectors on the cable hooked to your DVD-ROMS. unplug the conectors going in the DVD=ROMS and place the conectors in the opist DVD-ROM I think it has to do with what you have the DVD-ROMS set to which 1 is slave and which 1 is master. So if you want try it. It seemd to work for some others that was having the same problem you was having.
In other words make sure your Burrner is set to Master and on the middle conector on your IDE cable and your DVD-ROM set to slave at the end of the cable.
Sorry about this mistake but I had the DVDs switched wrong in the uper reply. They placed the DVD burrner to the end of the IDE cable and the DVD-ROM reader set to the Middle Cable. There was like 4 people that was having that problem all switched there drives around and all had faster Shrinking time.
I was having similar problems with dvd shrink 3.2 but when i used the older version which is dvd shrink 3.1 it encoded much faster. it did a 2hour movie in about 40mins. And dont forget to clean your dvds they maybe dirty or scratched.
I see in like your second post you said your reader was first and the burner was second. if its that way more then likly your reader is at the end of the IDE cable and the burrner is in the middle of the IDE Cable. Which I asume the burner is the lite-on. Switching them should fix your problem. Put your reader in the middle and let that do the grunt work, and extend the life of your burnner by placing that at the end of the cable. Let me know if that fixes your problem.
yes burnner as master. and reader as slave. if it has trouble finding the DVD-roms after you turn on then just set them both as cable select.
