[goaliemanshark]

HI i'm rendering a dvd in DVD workshop and its currently on rendering motion menus. There is quite a few of them around 8 motion menus. I set them for 30 seconds. But it says its going to take 15 hours and going up! Is this normal? How long does it take you
Thanks

What are the specs of your system?

I had a K6-2 500MHz AMD with 327mb ram. I would run an average time, encoding an avi to mpg, of just under 14hours. I'm not too sure about what you are doing but I hope this helps. If you fill in your specs someone may be able to help you about better.

GoodLuck

Just ignore DVD Workshops estimate and leave it encoding.

You will find that DVD Workshop is a well out. I use it all the time and it will say 4 hours to complete and finish in about 25mins.

I maybe wrong, but give it a go anyway.

I hope this helps Nbd)

it took 5 hours

That's a lot less than 15 hours

I don't know your system spec (P4 2.53mhz etc this end), or if your main movie was pre-encoded or DVD Workshop encoded that too, as if DWS is encoding the entire thing that is a good time.

I always encode the main movie 1st with TMPGenc Plus and only have DVD Workshop encode the motion menus etc.
