I mainly use "DVDit Pro HD" to make Blu-Ray disks. The software is great and simple to use, but the main problem is that it is VERY slow.

Making a Blu-Ray disk from a 2hour video (1080p) can take hours ! So I usually launch the burning process before I go shopping so when I come back it's over ;-)

That's leading to my feature request :
> Please make DVDit Pro HD take full advantage of multiprocessors

I mean, most people who're into HD stuff have a very fast computer (dual or quad processors) so why not use multiprocessing to speed things up ?

Don't think multiple cpu's will help burning to the disc...until we get 16x and up drives it's gonna be slow.  

Are you getting "transcoding video" messages?   If you are, this is the reason it's slow...

Yes.

Of course I meant to speed the transcoding process, not the burning process, sorry for the mistake.

When I open a 2-hour WMVHD file and want to make a Blu-Ray Disk, DVDit Pro HD takes around 6 hours (!) to "convert" it to Blu-Ray format. Then the burnng process is very fast. I have a core2duo 3ghz processor.

That's pretty good actually 6 hour or 1>3, I am encoding at 1>7 for Mpeg 2 and 1>9 for AVC. This is on a dual dual core xeon machine. But i dont use the Roxio encoder.

I would agree with shueardm and try to encode outside of DVDit and just use it to author the disc.

You must be using Procoder 3 - with Sorenson Squeeze it is about half that time on the same machine.

I know, I have both. ProCoder 3 is marginally better quality so that's time is worth it (to me)

Can anyone tell us the settings for Procoder 3 to get compliant files for DVDit HD?
