Extremenly Slow Build

[banders100]

Here's my workflow:

 

Edit in Avid MC 3.0

Mixdown video and export mixdown to QT reference file

Import into DVDit Pro HD and author as usual

 

Question: Why is it taking 8-10- hours to encode a blu-ray or SD DVD during build?

DVD it encodes a blu-ray project almost a full 8-hours before finishing. A SD DVD takes just as long 8-10 hours of encoding before the DVD is ready to burn. I previously used Premiere and was getting 2 hours of encoding.

 

The about workflow is a standard workflow for editing in MC and a QTref file is just that , a reference file that points back to the original media.

 

I'm just wondering if anyone else here is using Avid MC for editing HD and what there render times are. Render times just seem way too long.

is your audio AIFF? if so, that may be the issue. DVDit performs much better with WAV.

No. I use an uncompressed .wav file. It is not the audio that is taking so long to render, it is the video.
