why does it take so long to transcode a video file. when i hit start producing dvd, it says, step 1- checking disc, this take maybe a minute. step 2- is transcoding. the way it looks it will take about 24 hrs. my pc is barely working. what am i doing wrong? step 3 is-authoring. step 4 is-writing. step 5 is- closing. i burned a movie to cd with this dvd burner and it works in a dvd player, but it took about 12 hours
hmmmmm, yeah this can take a while but it shouldnt take that long unless ur comp really crappy or the video is really long or using bad programs. Im guessin what your trying to do is convert Avi to Mpeg, give TMPG 2.5 ago, my old comp P3 with 448 Ram would convert a 1-2 Hour Avi to MPEG in about 4 hours. And just burn it with Nero in Video CD mode. Should be a hell of alot faster than 24 Hours. :-D But what your wanting to do is to put it on DVD im guessin well, from what youve written im taking a wild guess that ur using Nero Re-encode maybe, for me that program takes agers. I found something that converts a video file into DVD in about half if not more faster the time, there is Divx to DVD by VSO. There is a fancier way to do this, but i cant be bothered with those way, although you do get better results. Ill leave that to someone else to post :-D Hope this helps.
