Encoding time

[SGResu]

I'm makeing a dvd with my summer videos, but I have a little problem in creating it.
Studio 9 takes more than 2h to create a 40mins dvd!
I want DV quality, but why if I already have the DV video Studio takes so much time?

The video has to be encoded to mpeg-2, that takes a while.

2 hours MPEG2 encoding for 40 minutes of video is not too bad really. For comparison, using TMPGenc on my 2.1Ghz P4 system, it takes around 5 hours to encode 24 minutes of video. Of course, I have set TMPGenc parameters for very high quality encoding.

Bottom line is that decent-quality MPEG2 encoding takes a hella long time! Welcome to the world of DVD video!

Also, just so you know, there is always a difference in quality between DV and DVD. DV (as in Digital Video, like camcorder etc.) is 25Mbps, whereas the maximum for DVD is about 9Mbps. So, some compression is required.
