Whats your speed?

[toneman77]

I succesfullly made 2 DVDs with svcd2dvd, so congratulations for this cool program.
But...
It took veeery long on my XP1600+ (KT333, 512MB) to transform svcd/vcd to dvd. with the second dvd i tried to switch off audio reencoding (my DVD standalone plays 44,1kHz DVD well) but files were still demultiplexed and multiplexed without changing.
The hole process took me 8 (first dvd) and 9 hours (second one). Is this normal? Am i doing sth wrong here?
What speeds do you have?

I've just done 3 svcd to one dvd all from bin and cues about 800 meg apeice in 18 minutes so I would say that there's something very wrong in what you are doing or how you are doing it.

So here's my logfile, maybe anyone can help me out.

Ive done a bit of research now and found in another thread that using svcd2dvd with mapped network drives takes lonmger. So i copied all the files to a local drive and ran again: 1,5 h with resampling.
I think that was it.

Thanks for your help

I'm thinking of getting new gear soon, so I would be grateful if you would give me your specifications on what you are using.

No problem at all. But can I just say that although I don't know a great deal I can say that the better quality SVCD?VCD's take longer to rip, the higher the quality of the picture the longer it takes, although none have taken me more than half an hour.

I have

DFI Infinity 865PE motherboard
P4 2.8
1 gig of Memory
and what I think is the most important part a 250 gig Western Digital SATA drive. partitioned into 3 drives one JUST for working with DVD's in whatever format. I find this so fast sometimes that if I am not careful With the double clicks I am starting whatever icon is inside the file I am opening.

I rip them to the bare partition then after they have been ripped and checked I transfer them to another partition for either storage or writing. I then delete all files and get the drive back to just about bare, and a swift defrag with Diskeeper to make sure.

So far i have not had a failure that can be atributed to anything other than human (mine) failure.

Hope that helps

Thanks.
I'm running on a 1.4 Ghz AMD and I see that converting audio takes all available processor power, too. I guess I'll buy a Intel next time. Unpackin a 4400 Mb rar archive takes like 5 minutes, and it's not the harddrives that are slow. I'm keen on using Diskeeper as well.

to convert 3 svcds with an average size of around 4.8gb total ie 3films at 1.6gb each it takes no more than 35mins tops.

Keep your hd well defragged
