axaugustia · Post by **axaugustia** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 1:07 am

My experience Editing Video using Ulead 7 need 4-5 hours with 4GB DVD. My computer spec is as follows:

- Processor Core 2 Duo processor 6400 1.8 GHZ,
- Memory 2 GB
- Hardisik 320 GB
- VGA Card 512 MB.

Is it normal? Any advise to make it faster...?

Thanks Ron,

I am travelling now and away from my desktop. What is normal time to burning a DVD 4 GB? Excluded editing time, etc.

I will re-phrase my quote when I get back home within 2 weeks. If you can share your experience how long you burned a DVD 4 GB, it will entertain my curiousity.

Thanks a lot.

No, it's not normal. Is it just the burning that is taking 7 hours, or is it rendering AND burning?

In other words, are you going straight to Share > Create Disc with your project in the timeline? Or do you follow the Suggested Workflow of first creating (rendering) a DVD compatible MPEG-2 file (Share > Create Video File) then, with an empty timeline, going to the burn module (Share > Create Disc) and inserting your MPEG-2 file there to burn?

Also, as Ron stated, we need more info. You could be working with highly compressed formats such as Xvid or DivX, which can cause problems rendering/burning.

Thanks Jeff,

It was rendering and burning that took 4-5 hours. That's was inculding coverting videos.

I used HDD Sony and the file extention is MPEG-2 iwth AC-3 Audio file.
It looked like that converting videos that took a very long time.

I will try the suggestion when I get back home

Thanks again, Jeff

There is a link in these forums for suggested workflow.. (sorry, I didn't quote the link before hand...)

You should actually make a MPEG-2 and use that as the new burn project. Personally, and with great results, I ALWAYS burn to a hardrive based Video_TS and Audio_TS folder first, review it, then if looks like I want, then burn it to a DVD disk.

The actual making of the MPEG-2 file will take the longest. The actuall burn at this point is more a less the act of copying that file over to the disk. (not really, becuase it is also converting it to DVD format). AS LONG AS YOU have smart rendering turned on.

I'm sorry, yes, 4-5 hours using Ulead 7. That's where I got the 7 from.

Remember, rendering time also depends on the amount of transitions, filters, effects, etc. that you have in your project.

Again, let us know what your clip (video, audio, image) properties and project properties are.
