encoding

[bluedolphins4u]

New to this-Could someone please tell me why its taking hrs to encode any movie n how i can fix this?

Let us know which s/w you are using.

If it's DVD Shrink the most common cause is that DMA is not enabled. If you have not done so already, enable it.

ok i checked the DMA like u said n it was already done,wot do u mean by S/W?

[Mig$y]

s/w - software

Please let us know your cpu's spec's?

Perhaps your DVD-ROM is locked at only reading at x2 which is why encoding is taking such a long time.

That'll explain your slow encoding speeds. Unfortunately your computers processor is not the fastest
