Hi I currently use Nero Vision 5 to burn avi files from my hard drive to DVD. I download mainly classical music videos which can run anywhere from 25 minutes to 4 hours. But I see that Nero vision takes a very long time to encode the avi files before burning. A 25 minute video can take almost two hours and a four hour video can take 12 hours. The actual burning ia fast enough once the file in encoded (or transcoded) but its the encoding that takes forever. Is this normal???? Thanks in advance for any advice Jay Kauffman

Yes it can be normal - encoding/converting the format to another - can be processor intensive and take some time depending on your pc specs.
Lesser speed processors and low amounts of ram will take longer than the newer faster processors with more ram.

Nero though can be a little slower than other programs. Here's a free one to test out - DVDFlick.

Another good one though not free is ConvertXtoDVD - has a trial but leaves a watermark.

Checking that DMA is enabled on the hard drive(s) wouldn't be amiss.
For DVD Flick, a 45 minute AVI to DVD runs 40 minutes - excluding the burn.
In my case:
My Computer => Properties => Hardware => Device Manager => IDE Controllers => Primary (or Secondary) => Properties => Advanced Settings.

8 years old - that is more than likely why - much slower processors back then. I'd say time for an upgrade :)

Quick question folks tried both DVD flick and convertxtodvd both work with no problems an Avi file 700mb takes about 40 minutes with DVD flick now since the said avi file has already been compressed converting it to the dvd_video standard wont make the quality any better just makes the file size larger in convertxtodvd you can select the file size so with the file only being 700mb why need to make it any bigger wont improve the quality so if I select say 1Gig output size takes about 20 minutes please correct me if I?m missing something

You cannot have a running time of sixty minutes, 700MB AVI format, converted to 1GB in MPEG-2 format and expect to have the same quality.
The nature of mpeg-2 files is that, for equal running time, they are larger than the same movie in AVI format.
You either let the converter use the full DVD space to maximize quality or lose something by further compression.

Cheers for the info I?m no expert on video conversion don?t do enough so I?ll have to take your word on it still cant see how converting a 700mb DVD rip to 4.3 gig is necessary the said file converted it to both sizes 4.3 gig and 1 gig and couldn?t see the difference and my TV is a 40 inch LCD.

I can't go into the little details but just remember that you are taking one format with a certain profile/specs and converting it to another - depending on how much of a change that is has an effect on the final size.
attar knows their stuff so I would trust what they say.
