hi

i have been using dvd shrink 3.2 for some time with no problems.this weekend my computer crashed and i had to do a complete wipe and reinstall of windows xp to get it back. after reinstalling dvd shrink 3.2 it now takes much much longer to encode a dvd than it did before. before it would take me an average of 20 minutes per disc encoding at 3,000+ kb/s. now it does not encode faster than 800 kb/s and takes well over an hour. it is the same computer with actually more memory since everthing was deleted on the reinstall. any ideas why it would be so much slower now. i have a pentium 4 2.40 ghz with 512 mb ram. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

Since you are running an external burner DMA settings do not apply for your burner. When you did your reinstall did you install all your device drivers and utilities. Make sure you are not running any unnecessary programs in the background. Make sure you do not have deep analysis checked in Shrink this can increase encoding time.

Are you ripping the movie onto your hard drive before using Shrink, or are you using Shrink to rip? Are you also using your external drive to rip? Have you tried a defrag since the restore? What's the compression rate on this disc that's the problem?

Is your external connected via USB or Firewire? Is your MB set to use USB2 rather than USB1?

Check your quality settings in DVD Shrink. Any quality settings especially compress with high quality adaptive error compensation set at max smooth or max sharp will slow shrink down a lot. If it's only speed your after and not quality uncheck everything in quality settings.
