Default DVD Transcoding

Alright, I'm trying to transcode some of my grandparents home movies. They're recorded in AVI, and I want to burn them to DVD, but Nero Vision takes around an hour and a half to transcode them... Is there any way to speed up the process? TIA

Thanks, Andrew. How long does it usually take you?

Whats your system specs, setup?

What else is running? Even backround processes can hurt at some levels.

Downloaded it, and it works twice as good as Nero. Cut it down from two hours to one, and I think that'* the best I'm gonna get (it'* a 2 hour movie...).

Just FYI, I have...
3200+ Winchester
1gb PC3200
Radeon X1800 GTO 256mb


So, I guess it'* just a midrange PC, but it sure gets the job done

Good to hear. Not sure how long it took for me, cuz I usually go to bed and leave it run or something like that. I can't stand to wait
