Hi,

I have recently bought Easy DVD copy 4 and just wrote my first disc, converting an avi file to DVD. It works fine but the process was painfully slow in encoding the film.

Is there any way I could speed this up?

The film is only 1.5 hours long but it took over 3 hours to convert.


Many Thanks

Depending on your system that time is about right. Video encoding takes time rolleyes.gif

Keep a good hold on your Easy DVD Copy 4 software. Support for AVIs gets rather thin in the most recent Roxio software.

Thanks for your replies,

Is there anything I can do to my system to improve things? I only built it a year ago so memory and processor should be fine.

I do not have a dedicated video card though, could getting one help and if so what should I be looking for?
