I have had DVD Shrink since the early part of December of '05. It use to take no time for my HP dvd 740 to shrink the dvd, but recently it has been taking longer time. For ex. It use to take about 10-15 min. now it takes anywhere from 20-45 min. If you can help please do so, thank you very much.

Depending on compression level and shrink's video quality settings, 20-45 min can be perfectly normal.

If the compression level is below 100%, DVD shrink will first analyze the DVD then start the encoding process, this two step process can take 20 minutes or greater to complete depending on compression level, length of movie, and video quality settings. Also, if the disk is scratched or dirty can potentially tack on additional time as well.

If you suspect that the process has really slowed down, you could start by checking to make sure all your IDE devices are set to operate in DMA mode. Here's a guide if needed;
