Windows DVD Maker Encoding-SLOWWWWW

Expand Post »
Latley I figured I would try using Windows DVD Maker to burn DVDs, versus using the super basic version of Roxio that came with my PC. I like the varitety of menu styles and features it has (for a freebie), but the encoding process before burning is extremely slow. To burn an hour and a half of video it took 5 1/2 HOURS!!!!!!!!! Is it just generally slow or is there a way to speed it up.

Re: Windows DVD Maker Encoding-SLOWWWWW

what about your dvd drive your computer seems quick enough it unlikely to be the software could be a hardware conflict or fault
you got any errors (? or !) in device manager. If not update your cd/dvd driver and firmware from the manufacures not microsofts website and it should solve the problem.

Re: Windows DVD Maker Encoding-SLOWWWWW

if it works speedy with roxio then it must be vista needing an update or your dvd drive needing an update even though your comp may be a month old companies release new firmware and drivers very often

Windows DVD Maker Encoding SLOW AND NOW STOPPED BURNING

Hi all, yesterday i started burning a movie on dvd using the windows dvd maker, since 4pm yesterday till today it has only burned 71%. Slow? So i kept it overnight assured it would be complete when i wake up but even though there are no error messages and the software is still running it seems to have stopped burning. It hasn't went past 71%. What do i do? Should i cancel it and try all over again, or should i wait and see what happens? Please somebody help
