When i convert movie files into a format to put on a DVD, i use Ulead DVD Moviefactory but it take ages. about 4 hours per DVD to convert. is this normal?

 

To convert an MPEG or something to a DVD I use WinAVI which takes a couple of hours to convert the file, and it takes near on an hour to burn it to a DVD disc using Nero, so depending on the speed of both your PC and your DVD writer, this is probably about right..... Obviously, the higher specced and faster the PC the quicker it's gonna encode it, and the faster the DVD writer the quicker it's gonna burn it

 

theres lots of programs out there mate, the new version of nero do's it, theres tmpeg, win avi thats just a few, win avi will convert a avi file into dvd format in about 30 mins thats a full movie..

i use winavi myself and it takes nowere near that long to convert, that could be due to the spec of the computer like you said though..

Could be... To be honest I don't actually know how long it takes I usually set it up and then leave it for a couple hours till I go back to it. The couple hours probably comes from "backing up" DVD's using DVDShrink, which takes between an hour and 2hrs to rip a DVD and compress it....

 

I'm sure it took over an hour to convert The Butterfly Effect from AVI to DVD files....

 

You must have a slow computer Thrush!

Seriously though - about 15 minutes to convert a 41/42 minute episode of Lost into DVD format using WinAVI

I'd get version 6.3 though as the newer versions apparently have issues with the encoding (audio and visual glitches).

looking at my porn stash most are avi files "crissy moran "

so will nero convert that too to dvd ????

file size is 345 MB (362,121,558 bytes)

love the red dress

ive got nero 6 btw ..just never used the dvd burners

 

It shouldn't be that slow - 2.8gHz P4 chip, 1.5gb RAM.... Should be fairly quick

 

No,

I use cucusoft DVD (i think, i'll have to check the exact name) which converts all formats to dvd If I take the preview feature off it takes about 15 mins to encode, and then burns across in about 10 mins @ 10x on my burner in Nero.

As for backing up a dvd, I use Nero to create an Image of the disc using the image recorder, and it saves it to the drive. Does it in about 5 mins.

I split eddie murphy's delerious into 2 files for vcd in about 10 mins

Back in the early day's of doing this, the whole process took about 4 hours, but nowaday's it really shouldn't, unless you have a really slow burner.

Obviously the faster the cpu and the more memory you have available, the quicker it goes

if i was to look for cucusoft on Torrents what size file might it be roughly

Just so i know what to avoid
