Slow And Poor Video Quality For Created Dvd Disc

[chinangela2@hotmail.]

Got EMC8 in January and had been using EMC 7 for the past 2 year.

 

I compiled all my MPG files with best MPG2 setting (9MBS, 720 x 480, NTSC) at end of January.

 

After such creation, I started render the DVD using EMC8 MyDVD module. It took close to 4 hours to create the DVD disc file (ISO file) for 4.2 GB videos (total 12 different movies with total time of approx. 60 minutes. There are 4 menu titles created with no Chapter menus selected).

 

Subsequently, I burn the DVD disc using the created ISO file. When I play the created video, I found it doesn't render clear videos despite the "Best" setting for my MPG files. I recalled my EMC7 DVD Builder burn much faster and better video rendering.

 

To proof that, I repeat the DVD creation using EMC7 DVD Builder (can only create 1 menu with 12 movies). It took only 20 minutes to create the ISO file. When I subsequently burned the Disc (using the EMC7 Disc Copier), I found the movies indeed very clear as compare to the one created by EMC8 MyDVD.

 

My O/S is W2000 v5.00.2195 with SP4, CPU is Celeron D340 (2.93GHz), My EMC8 is v8.0.5 retail version

 

Can anyone help and advise me what I need to do to improve both the rendering time and rendering quality?

 

Thanks in advance.

A Celeron is never going to do the work of a Pentium, however most of us have noticed that the render time is greater than V7…

 

Software or Hardware Rendering will effect both quality as well as time. Under Tools – Options you can set it. If you click on the Graphics Test button, it will self set to "best" one.

 

In my case, it sets to Hardware but I have found setting it back to Software improves both time and quality. Give that a try.

James,

I did perform both tests on the Hardware & Software rendering. The outcome of the tests yield no significant difference.

 

FYI, my graphic card (Asus V9400 using nVideo MX4000 chipset, AGP 8X with 128MB DDR) supports hardware rendering.

 

Appreciate for your early respond.
