Slooooow encoding rate with DVDshrink

[Iron_Monkey]

Hi all!

Despite having already ripped the DVD with DVD Decryter onto my hard drive, the encoding rate is only about 725 kb/s. Can anyone tell me why it's soooo slow? (I'm compressing a DVD-9)

Thanks!

Whats yr CPU??
Plz update yr profile with yr PC details...

Do you have any other apps running while transcoding with DVDShrink??
The rate ya mentioned is indeed very low...

I never have this kind of problem. Even using an external (USB 2 on a 1.1 connection) harddrive.

Suggest you to do the following things:
1 - buy a new and faster computer
2 - a faster hard drive
3 - more and faster memory
4 - always defrag your hard drive
5 - I wont say this one

Well, I know I don't have the fastest computer out there (P3 866 MHz, 384 mb pc133 ram) but I've compressed a DVD-9 with DVDX Copy in a little over an hour while running Internet Explorer so I was expecting about the same with DVDShrink. So am I wrong in expecting the same rate for DVDX Copy and DVDShrink? Why am I using DVDShrink when I have DVDX Copy you ask? Well it's because for some reason when I compress a DVD-9 with DVDX Copy, CloneDVD won't burn the files, giving me an error message saying something about the files won't fit onto a DVD-5. I still have not gotten any solutions or insights regarding this issue either. Can anyone shed any light on this?

My guess is your hard drive is not ATA enabled and is in PIO mode.
