Hello all. Let me start by saying that I started using the Shrink/Decrypter combo about 3 weeks ago. Set up exactly as the thread had instructed and to date, have sucessfully burned over a dozen movies with zero coasters thus far using both Memorex DVD-R 4x and Sony DVD+R 4.7 disc. After reading thru all the post, I've have noticed that my time to complete a disc from start to finish is a bit longer than most here. I'm using a 3 year old Dell Demin 4300. Windows ME,1.5gig proc, 512RAM,40gig HD (25gig usable space). I have one Dynex CD/DVD +/- internal writer and one Dell DVD rom internal player. My IDE jumper pins for both players is set to "cable select". Dell says the computer will auto recognize the master and slave at these settings.The DVD rom drive is the 1st connect thin on to the burner. When burning movies with Shrink,I prefer to select both english DD5.1 and DTS soundtracks and "english" sub picture (not sure what the subpicture is. I check it off just to be safe). Before burning, I disable my Nortons 2K5 internet security, Comcast cable modem, screen saver and have unchecked all non-vital programs in my start up menue. DVD Shrink options setting are exactly as instructed in the thread a while back. From start, the disc analyse takes about 4 to 5 minutes. The download to hardrive takes anywhere from 3 to 4 hours. The burn to disc process takes 1 hour. As stated ealier, my current setup has performed well for me as far as sucessfully completing my disc. Would I be able to tweek just a little to improve my burning time or should I leave well enough alone? I don't want to mess up a good thing :) Any advise would be greatly apreciated, Thanks :)
