How do I speed up Encoding speed on DVDshrink 3.2?

saugmon, i'm backing up the entire disk. i usually only reauthor if it's too big for one disk.

compression tab? i see it, but where do you see the compression number?

sorry again for not knowing any of this

 

@help123,
Your compression setting is not going to make that much of a difference in your ripping speed. In other words the difference between 60% and 99% might be a couple of minutes.

You need to remove about 2 hours from your process and this is not going to do it.

Your compression settings is located on the right near the top. If you have your Re-author window open then it is the tab next to the one that says DVD Browser.



Notice that in this picture no compression is equal to 100%, the more compression you use the smaller the number will be.

 

thanks. my compression is 46.2%. that must be bad if you usually shoot for 100. how do i change that?

 

fasfrank,

did the info tool thing but how can i paste it onto here, it's huge.

 

Open up neroinfotool/click the icon on top that looks like a floppy disc/send that file to somewhere easy to locate like my pictures/close out.

Then open up that folder/my pictures/open up that log-highlight and drag throughout the log/right click copy/ then paste it in your next post.

It is rather large. I just messed around with mine, LOL
Lots of info in that log.

 

Actually we have never had a problem with too much information. It is usually a problem with not enough!

46% is pretty bad. Below the compression number you will see the audio and subpicture selections. Just uncheck what you don't need. That screenshot is from Fantastic 4 and I only kept one audio stream and got rid of everything else.

With a really low number it's a good idea to use Shrink's quality enhancements but we need to figure out why your rip is so slow before you slow it down even more with those.

 

46% compression on my backups-major shrinkage. That's pretty close to harry potter and lord of the rings for main movie only:

Athlon 3300+/1gb pc3200/and max smoothness= 2 hr backup time
Athlon 3000+/512 mbs pc2700/max smoothness= 2.5 hrs
P3-celeron 598 mhz/256mbs rimm/max smoothness= 12-16 hrs

That's some major compression and I have to use max smooth on them.I'd shorten up the time a little by unticking the AEC enhancements,but I'd see the square blockiness in the background. 10-15% compression, i may use max sharpness or none at all.Unticking AEC enhancements with that 598 mhz pc,and I'd cut my backup time down to a couple hours,depending on how much compression.That lower spec pc's backup time is really magnefied by the increased compression.

No compression backup:
Athlon 3300+ at 8x speed= 18-25 mins
Athlon 3000+= 20-25 mins
Celeron 598 mhz- 30-45 mins.

For a dvd-5 to dvd-5 copy: Use dvd decrypter is mode ISO read and write. On any of my 3 pcs,it only takes about 5 mins to rip to hard drive and 15 mins to burn at 4x. The processor speed makes very little difference for that program,but does with dvd shrink. Dvd shrink max's out your processor. Try shutting down background programs to free up resources.

There you can get the new firmware for your burner, 4DS7. See how that changes things.

 

thanks, but i have two drives and i think thats the firmware update for the cdrw drive. i have an external dvdrw drive :

HL-DT-ST DVDRRWGWA-4083B USB DEVICE

 

by the way, after unchecking some of the audio and subpicture boxes, it's up to 66.3%

 

Thanks for the info!

OK, The first thing I noticed was your amount of RAM. It looks like you have 255MB, probably as two 128 MB chips. See if you can upgrade that to 512MB or more. I had a similar computer and adding RAM made big improvements in my rip times.

You're doing all your DVD ripping through a USB connection which does not help. You can replace the CD-ROM with a DVD-ROM for $20.00-$40.00 and get another jump in performance. Burners are also limited in speed compared to a DVD-ROM so it's best to use the burner just for burning.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827131417

Burning with the external connection should be fine. Keep the burn speed down to 4X and it shouldn't be a problem.

At some point you will be limited by your 2 GB processor but you should still get big performance gains with more RAM and an internal DVD-ROM.

 

ok, thanks for the help. lately i've just been burning the dvds i want to back up overnight so that it doesn't tie up my computer during the day, and since i'm usually sleeping i don't notice how long it's taking. so for now, i'll probably just stick with the 2.5 hour process.
thanks again

 

as long as it gets done, i'm good.

 

thanks for helping though, i thought the 2.5 hour process was something i was doing wrong. but, now i know its just my hardware.

 

I've tried uninstalling the driver , only when I reboot it installs them back in PIO mode again !~ What can I do ?

 

@betty: Try and change it to "DMA if Available", and see if the option stays. If not, it could be an option in the BIOS that is keeping the channel in PIO mode.

@ the others: To truly increase DVD Shrink's processing speed, dual core CPUs. Even a $300 investment in an X2 3800+ will cut the time in half. 512mb ram should be the minimum to run Windows, having less requires your pagefile to be used extensively, adding tons of processing time. Go for the memory upgrades at least, most nowadays are really inexpensive for some high quality sticks.

 

@betty12

You need to check your BIOS. It maybe set for PIO.

If you don't know how or the make of the BIOS, download CPU-Z. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
Click on the motherboard tab and post the BIOS information.

thanks for your help this is so frustating !~

 

Be sure to use DVD+R blank disc's. If you are using DVD-RW, then the encoding will always be SLOW.
