When you creat your own dvd with nero does it make a difference how much memory you have. I have 512mb memory at the moment and the transcoding and burning process takes about 1 hour 30 mins. If i have 1gb memory will it take less time to transcode. Thanks for any help given
The RAM needed for software like Nero is decided by the software. Increasing what you already have will not do anything ; you already have enough. From Nero Technical Info :- Processor and memory For writing audio and data discs: - 800Mhz Intel® Pentium® 3 processor or AMD Sempron™ 2200+ processors or equivalent - 128 MB RAM For [bold]TV recordings, DVD and video authoring[/bold]: - [bold]1.2Ghz[/bold] Intel® Pentium® 3 processor or AMD Sempron™ 2600+ processors or equivalent - [bold]128MB[/bold] RAM For [bold]real−time capturing and burning[/bold]: - [bold]1.6Ghz[/bold] Intel® Pentium® 4 processor or AMD Sempron™ 2600+ processors or equivalent - [bold]128MB[/bold] RAM Microsoft® Windows 98/98SE/Me, Windows 2000 ([bold]Service Pack 4 or later[/bold]), Windows XP ([bold]Service Pack 2 or later[/bold]), Windows 2003 Server (Service Pack 1 or later), MCE 2004 / 2005 If you were to have only 128MB , because the O/S always reserves at least 70Mb , you would be running short and Nero would have to address your PageFile resource (a portion of your HD) -- it would still work but with a lot of stress. Applications when they start will put a flag on the RAM to reserve a [bold]fixed block[/bold] for themselves , it is a resource deployment request that is embedded in the software. If the RAM is already flagged by some other programs and there is not enough left , it will address the PageFile system on your HD. Hence the need to alleviate any demand on your RAM by other programs while you doing video editing/authoring -- best you turn off any non-necessary applications; specially if you are on the borderline of having enough for what you want to run. Have a great Day !
