A highly compressed DVD, with deep analysis and AEC on can take a while, but not 3 hours.

To quicken up the process, make compression a minimum (by unticking the languages you don't want and re-authoring just the movie instead of full disk backup), and uncheck deep analysis and AEC.

See how that goes.

Note: Unchecking DA & AEC will reduce quality.

EDIT: You can also look ion task manager to see if something else is hogging your CPU. This would increase encoding time considerably. Also check for viruses and spyware. Did this start after you installed a new program?

Here is one that took over 4 hours by Mig$y

What was the compression shown for the movie? Mig$y's was about 60%.

As blutach pointed out removing the unneeded languages and subs among other thinks will bring the compression % up closer to 100%. There are also other things to use such as MenuShrink to name one if you don't want to do just the a reauthor of the main movie.

I've had the slow decoding problem which has always been fixed by restarting the computer.

@spawndude - A little program call MaxMem by AnalogX can do that for you with out restarting, it can free up memory and resources.
