Hi. Please forgive me for not knowing much of what i'm talking about, but i'm new to this.

I am using Roxio Video Wave 5 software. I captured video to my PC from my DV camcorder (MPEG-2 format, 640X480 pixels, 29.97 fps, 24 bit color), and can accompish that without a problem from about any source. The problem comes in when i try to prepare the files to be burned to DVD. I know this process is slow, but my machine is doing it about the rate of 1/6X or maybe even a bit slower, using the same Roxio software.

Is this normal? Any tips for speeding up this process, or avoiding it all together?

Thanks

Hi Stevo,

I don't know Roxio Video Wave, but if you captured in MPEG-2 with a resolution of 720x480 (or 720x576 if you're in a PAL land) then your files would be directly DVD-video compliant. No prepare needed anymore.

Thx Daba.

I actually thought of that myself after i posted, and wondered if capturing at 720X480 would work better. Unfortunately i can't seem to be able to get the capture software that i have to capture any larger than 640X480. I'm not sure if this is a software limitation, or all the larger my video card/capture device can do (ATI All-In-Wonder RADEON 7500).

The Roxio software works nice for editing, dvd building and burning, but it's currently taking my PC about 8 hours to encode 1 hour and 20 minutes of video. Ouch.

First of all, don't capture under MPEG2 unless you've got a hardware encoder. (And your ATI card doesn't fit the bill.) Capture, edit, and save as DV AVI (type II).

Then use an encoder (TMPGEnc, whatever) to encode to DVD specs (720x480). You'll get a much cleaner output and much more control over all the specs.
