Why does it take so long?

[drfsupercenter]

I started DVDRB last night about 8:00, then went to bed at 10:00, it was a couple percent done. This morning, it was only 25% done. At this rate it will take another two days to finish, while eating up my CPU. Why does DVDRB take this long to rebuild a DVD? I mean, now it is at 33%, it somehow jumped, but has anyone else had it take almost 11 hours to reach 1/3 done?

--EDIT--
Now it's 50%. What the heck?

that's why although it produces the best quality, i hardly ever use it. i take from 5 to 6 hours to encode a movie with my system, i'm sticking with the transcoders for the most of my backups, the slowest of the trancoders(shrink) takes only 1.5 hours to encode a movie.

What system specs please drf? What are you trying to do? What encoder and quality setting? Any filters?

I use Procoder2 @ mastering quality (the slowest of the encoding solutions) and it generally takes 8-10 hours to encode.

That's why there is no such thing as "too fast a computer".
DRF, start thinking power user. Tools vs toys!
Your computer is benching very low.

It just finished. I was using HC Encoder cuz I do not have CCE or Procoder.

[Chewy]

at 7am you were 1/3 done and now 40 minutes later it finished?

Drf,

check the idct=7 option for avisynth

Upgrade your avisynth to latest + use new DGdecode ver by Nan

although it all depends on the processing power + source length + filters used(its significant and seems you suffer from it).

Still keep 4-6 hrs for encoding using DVDRB free and HC since it uses multi pass.

If you upgrade to the Pro ver. you can use OPV which will reduce the time taken significantly.

But whatever said and done, you cannot compare the quality between encoder(which is good) and transcoder.

techreactor, I use DVD-RB for everything below 90%. I usually get done in about 4-5 hours. I was just woundering what OPV stands for?

OPV = One pass VBR analysis

Thanks for the info. Ya know it's always the little things that get ya...

All the symbols... confusing... I used 2-pass mode to get better qual, and boy does it show! Almost as good as the original unshrinkable DVD! What I mean is that WB was stupid and crammed 12 episodes onto a disc, (6 hours!), that was DL. DVD Shrink could not compress it all the way, doing a double compress makes it look like cr@p.

DVDRB did the trick, but definately much slower. So now all I do is make an ISO and burn?

[blutach]

Yep. Load your output into PgcEdit and click on the burn tab. It's useful to have 32k gaps turned on, too.

Note: DVD Rebuilder can output an ISO for you.

Or if any of the commercial software came bundled with your drive, burn directly.

[edit] drf,read the next post if you're using DVDRB PRO!

don't need to make an ISO.will be one(more) useless step if(when) you have the video_ts folder.

just burn the video_ts folder inside dvdfiles from RB in nero(for example)choosing new->dvd-video->copy(take) the video_ts folder from the explorer(on the right) to the left side and burn.

i don't knew that feature blue ....don't have this option in RB free.
