I am having some issues with the speed in Recode. I have Nero 8 and installed it last week. I am running Vista with a Phenom CPU. The first 2 or 3 movies that I recoded to Nero Digital AVC took about 35-40 minutes. I had the encoding set to the fastest setting. Since then, it has slowed to about 500 minutes.

Any Ideas?

Not at all. I was using the same settings and bitrate for all of them.

Very strange. I worked very well but now it's not even useful.

I actually used that tool late last night and then searched my registry and hard drive for leftover files. I removed every reference for Nero and Ahead.

After the reinstall, I worked great for 1 movie finishing at about 35 minutes to Nero Digital AVC.

After that, I went back to the same 500-600 mintues.

I can't think of anything else.

Make sure your drives are still set to DMA and not PIO... Goto your device manager and goto IDE CONTROLLERS then select each controller and check its properties...

I think its most likely a DMA reset to PIO mode... Nero tends to change that if there's an error or something... Double check the controller settings archd72, make sure they're set right... Any of them set to PIO make sure you change to DMA...

I checked my settings and DMA is enabled.

Any suggestions on what codec I can try if that is the problem.

you must have the right codecs as if you can do 1 or 2 ok then third not.

but for codecs look here http://www.free-codecs.com

do you defrag your computer?

is your computer a high spec?

do you leave your pc on all the time or reboot after? try reboot then do another film.

I don't believe it is the codecs. I tried a couple different codec packs and that does not change the speed.

I have the Hard Drive defag done every week. I also leave my computer on all the time, and I have reset it.

Thanks for the help on this. It is looking more like some kind of bug.

Check this, it shows the whole DMA/ PIO thing alot more clearly and explains the difference between the two... Cause thats what it honestly sounds like, going from 35 minutes to 400 minutes in the encoding times. I've had similar issues myself...

I don't think that's it. I checked my settings and it shows DMA is enabled for my IDE channels. However, I uninstalled them and then restared my computer to see if there was something wrong and to have windows reinstall the settings for DMA. I went into the device manager again, and it shows that DMA is enabled.

I tried encoding again but still no luck.

Thanks for the help.

I contacted nero and they sent me this email after they gave me the reinstall bit

when trying a different codec pack did you uninstall the old one first?

Yes. I tried 2 different packs and made sure that I uninstalled the first before installing the second.

This little bug found me very close to junking my nice shiny retail edition of Nero 8 .... especially when after re-installing so many times it locked my serial number from activating until I contacted Nero with a *huge* long email of details to fill in !!! :(

However, I am back up to proper speed again on my set up by disabling the "resize" option on each DVD I do. Obviously this only works because I don't actually want any resizing done!

Just turning that function off brought me from about 12-15fps back up to 80-90fps (Intel quad core buzzing away merrily)

No idea if it will help with your problem but definately worth a try *if* you don't need the video resizing :)

Great tip.

Thanks for that.

I disabled the resize and now I'm back to 80-85fps. I don't have the Intel, but my Phenom X4 is running like it should again.
