Help in DVD writing

[Hari_04415]

I hav Lite-On 20A1P(20x-one)
and Nero ver 7 and Win XP with SP2 installed.

When i try to burn 2 movies in a single DVD using nero vision it takes me nearly 2 and 1/2 hrs just to recode them into a dvd format and then about another half an hour to write it to DVD.
And when i write a data DVD it takes half an hour 2 a 8x DVD.

Is this a problem with my system or really it takes that much time 2 write any DVD and i'm having the fastest DVD writer .

[thadhanihemant]

well encoding time is not a problem as it takes time to encode movies into dvd video..
now u r sayin writer is taking around half n hour to write the dvd, so either u r not writing on the maximum available speed of ur writer or u r using the dvds which only supports writing speed upto 2x or 4x...
plz mention which dvd media u r using...

[Akshay]

Time taken for encoding seems to b fine but 4 writing it is too much. How much data r u writing? ~8GB or ~4.7GB? I use Atari DVD's (4.7GB capacity) on which 1.3GB data is written in under 5mins...

hi i am here no tension!!!!!!!!!
use Nero express instead of nero vision if u hv the -vob, -bup and the -ifo files.

[rajasekharan]

well, don't use the max speed when to write in dvd media , some cheap dvds takes a lot of time that way, instead step down the writing speed to one level down . a 6x might just do fine.

as for the encoding , its just fine, it will take a lot of time to do one.

guys,

even I have the same problem....
last week, I had 22 VOB (arnd 3.9 GB) clippings of a function I need to put together using a menu....

I added all 22 files, selected a menu template and clicke don "Burn" and whoooooooom....
Nero showed the time remaining as 5hrs and more....

This is the complete time required.... I waited for half an hour or so and then I was forced to cancel it.....

The same VOB files, I wrote it as a simple Video DVD without menus, was done in less than 20 minutes, as I had written at a slow speed of 8x.

Why is it happening like this...?
Will it take so much time to recode and create menus....

Is there any other ways to create a menu...?

how much data should b written on 2 a 8GB or 4.7GB ????

"its not adviseable 2 writte the FULL dvd " ...... many ppl say ......

is it true ./.........

@ramprasad

Recoding takes ages evn on a new processor n high end machine. Wht processor do u use?For 3.9GB of recoding, I wud advise u 2 put on d recoding thing at nite n chk if it has finished in d morning!

@ax3

How much data wil depend on d capacity of d DVD. Thr r 2 common options available - 4.7GB n ~7-8GB (Dual layer). U can definitely write a dvd to d full of its capacity. Some DVD Drives dont detect DVD's if d data contained in dem is less den 1GB. Nero automatically asks u 2 select option of writing atleast 1 GB of data.

bt some ppl say in 4.5gb dvd ....... write only till 4.2gb ..........

Ram
with my exprience i will ask you few questions
1) are you burning your movie file in to DVD format only @ the time of burning. [ I mean the movie s in some other format and only the DVD conversion takes place while burning ? ]
Answer : In the case the time period you mentioned will happen with nero vision express. I advise you to better convert it in to the DVD format using some other softwares explictly availble for that purpose.

if the above mentioned scenario doesnt fit you . then your need to tweak your buffer, that s the amount of ram thats used by your drive while burning.

my simple advice s , better dont do the conversion and writting in a single process.. try this out

try looking up 2 post above you, CA50 has got your solution.
As for Hari_04415 samething basically instead of writting to DVD, write it to HDD then open Nero express (not express vision) and I believe u want disk image.(or something simillar) should not take as long to burn that way.

Blindly follow what CA50 tells.

[alienspiesu]

[ramprasad]

thanks guys to all who replied......

deva.....
I have converted them from mpeg to vob format using a converter from XIllsoft.... and then only tried to burn it.....


Actually, I wanted to use Nero vision to compile a menu for all the files..

I will come to what CA50 says, I dont have any other files than my VOB files...
How to create only menus, is my question...?
I would be glad if someone can help me....
