It sounds like your laptop is heating up and that's causing it to slow down. I'd recommend looking into a good laptop cooling pad.

Check and see if your IDE drives are transferring in PIO or DMA mode. Should be DMA mode. This will make a big difference.

an hour and a half for encoding in Shrink? With or without quality enhancements? Could be completely normal. Although Shrink is a great program and even better because it's free, it's probably one of the slowest ones out there. I used to encode movies at 4.5 hours apiece.

Encoding times with Shrink can vary considerably depending on the movie (DVD5 or DVD9) and disk condition.
With a 256Mb PIII my encoding times are less that 30 minutes with most movies. However with episodic disks that have 4 one hours episodes the encoding time can be over an hour.
As Jester75 suggested - check your Device Manager to ensure that you are operating in DMA mode.

maybe try a defrag on your system, i know this has sped up MY personal shrink time when my hard drive gets too cluttered, defragmentation might help a bit~ :) worth a try~ seems like nothing else is working for you...
good luck

what transfer rate you getting in Shrink, ie how many KB/sec on average. I see your system is pretty modern but maybe your dvd drive isn't as quick as it might be ?.. what model is it, maybe it can't read that fast as it's got a lower max read speed maybe.

..in which case what transfer rate are you getting with Shrink, now that movie is on hard drive ?. If DMA is set correctly etc you should have a fairly decent throughput

Maybe you need a firmware upgrade on your DVD burner, even though its new most times you have to do the firmware upgrade,to support the differnt media out there,or just before you start the burn on the setup window did you notice if the deep analysis box is checked because if this is checked it would take 1-2 hours to burn a movie.
And I dont know if anyone told you, you can not multitask while you burn a DVD you even have to turn off the screen saver, if not this could also slow down things as well because 1 of the default setting in DVDShrink is low priority for burns with DVDShrink. All other computer functions take priority.

- that's most definitely your problem, however we need to determine what's causing such crap performance. That's a top end of only 1.5 Megabytes/second, so if you got a 4GB movie...
sounds to me like DMA isn't really set correctly. Try installing Nero info-tool, it should tell you whether it's 'really' set - http://ww2.nero.com/enu/Info_Tool.html. For sorting DMA, look here - http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/petesguide1.html
