slow encoding

[jess russell]

Help...decrypt takes about 15 mins to read to computer..then shrink takes about 1 and half hours to encode, but the final burn only takes about 15 mins.. why is the encoding so slow..

[Experi-Mentor]

those times look ok if you're shrinking/compressing.
however, do check if your "dma" is enabled :

SLOW ENCODE

the dma is set correctly.. anyone got anymore ideas??

[Experi-Mentor]

how about some info on the compression %, d/a etc used ?

did you read the bottom link ?

"why is the encoding so slow..."

1) Encoding is FAR more complex than both ripping to your hard drive and burning

2) The total encoding time required by DVD Shrink will vary widely, depending upon whether you've selected "AEC" and/or "Deep Analysis"

3) Encoding time also depends upon the power of your system. What are the specifications of your system (CPU speed, amount of memory, etc.)

have a dell 2.4 with 512 memory..I just ordered a liteon burner.. what can I expect from that..

"have a dell 2.4 with 512 memory.."

Again, the total encoding time required by DVD Shrink will vary widely, depending upon whether you've selected "AEC" and/or "Deep Analysis".

I'd speculate that, depending upon whether you've selected "AEC" and/or "Deep Analysis", your encoding time will range from about 15 minutes to perhaps 50 minutes...

slow

The more I learn the dumber I get... I just tried to shrink Indiana jones and the lost ark and with no compression set there was over 7 gbs, and the analysis went in about 10 mins.. but it was too large to burn.. do I manual set the compression to 4.5 or 4.7 and then start backup? of course this is where you get into tshe very slow process of the analysis..

You should be using version 3.2xxx of DVD Shrink, which AUTOMATICALLY sets the needed compression - unless you've changed the "Compression settings" to something other than "Automatic" (e.g. "No Compression", "Custom ratio", etc.)
