[vt4887]

I use this sofware before , take 3 hours to finish , but after I have to reformat HD , reinstall WIN XP back , the nightmare happenning
It took 20 hours to author 5 VCD to DVD , I feel sick watching it's doing , worst like watching the pain dries . What's missing part I forget to install or something I forget setting up correct ? May someone help me to resolve this problem ?

Thank in advance

processor priority? How much CPU resources is it taking? What else do you have going on at the same time. Hard Drive DMA enabled?

Hmmmm, no specs = no answers

How much am I willing to bet you are reading and writing to your C drive? That will triple the time TAD needs. Seperate physical drives are best (not seperate partitions, that's useless and slows things down).

Why don't you do them by hand? You will be done in 1/2 hour. Demux all 5 Audio tracks. Drag and drop the audio into BeSweet's batch window. Bam, 20 minutes later you have 48 Khz MP2 (change the bitrate, 224 is a waste).

Now Author as before, but change the audio to the MP2's you created, not the audio in the VCD. There's no re-encdoding required, it's a straight copy at this point. It shouldn't take more than 10 miutes to finish.

I've done almost the exact same thing. Took about 30 minutes writing to and from the C drive.
