Just thought people out there would like to know how to improve there encoding time on dvd shrink. I can encode a whole disc in under 5 minutes now. When encoding a disc. Press ctrl alt del to open task manager, then click on process tab, right click on dvdshrink.exe and go to priorty then set it to real time, this is the top setting for encoding. Hope this helps people please keep me posted. Be warned though this does use up practically all your RAM and is not good for multitasking. James
