I have Ulead Movide Factory SE (it came with my canon hg10 HD camcorder).
I am trying to burn a DVD from 1 hour and 19 minutes of video that is on the camera. I recorded in XP mode (not HD).
I started the burn process last night and after seven hours it is only 61% completed.
I have a Dell Precision 490, with two dual core 3ghz Xeon processors and 2gb of RAM. three hard drives with lots of free space on them.
CPUs are running at 13% and memory is less than half used.
Nothing else is getting CPU time (87% system idle).
I just purchased this camcorder, and this process is killing me.
Is this software normally this SLOW??? I have another 8 hours to copy off and at this rate I won't be done anytime soon.
Suggestions welcome!
SLOW SLOW SLOW!
Hi,
You computer spces look good.
I'm not familiar with the MF6+ SE version, it was probably written before the patches to the retail version of MF6+ were released. I know the SE versions came with the camcorder but my suggestion would be to purchase the full retail version and then install the patches to MF6+ (which is important).
These are the instructions for creating avchd video files from MF6+ with the patches and HD-Add-On pack installed, you can use the same procedure for creating dvd's.
My suggested workflow is to convert your video files to the dvd format from the timeline so they are compliant, then start a new project and use the new converted video files.
In this example you will have to replace the video/audio properties with dvd compliant properties and create a custom template.

Those instructions are for creating high defintion avchd files & disks (playable on a HighDef Blu-Ray Disc Player)., the same video format your camcorder records in. If you want to create an avchd disk you could use your files directly because they are already compliant avchd video files.
Note: If you do purchase the retail version of MF6+ make sure to first completely un-install your existing version.
Later tonight I may write a post on the exact steps & settings to convert avc/h264 to dvd compliant video files.
I do have many examples posted already in the MF forum, you can search on the etech6355 to find them.
Hope this helps

I would not want to assume that the fully-patched retail version will fix this particular slow-recoding issue... One of the patches does address AVCHD issues, but the website does not mention re-coding speed.I know the SE versions came with the camcorder but my suggestion would be to purchase the full retail version and then install the patches to MF6+ (which is important).
You might want to download the trial version, although you can't apply the patches to it either.
That seems weird to me. If the CPU isn't busy doing something else, or waiting for the disk drive, I don't understand why the program isn't taking full-advantage of at least on core.CPUs are running at 13% and memory is less than half used.
The MPEG-2 encoder can take advantage of both cores, and encoding doesn't take that long. I think some of the codecs used for decoding do not take advantage of both CPUs, but I don't know why you're not getting at least 50% utilization.
DivX and Xvid users frequently complain that re-coding to MEPG-2 takes 8-12 hours, if it works at all... I don't know what kind of CPU utilization they are getting.

Yes, but something is wrong.
I have the retail version Mf6+ with patch2
A 1 minute very high quality AVCHD/h264 video 1440x1080 encoded at 18MBS VBR down converted to Standard Definition 720x480 @ 9500VBR with Dolby 5.1@384kbs takes 1 Minute 20 Seconds.
I just did a 7 Minute avc/h264 to Standard Def, it was about 10 minutes or so.
I don't have a Xeon Processor but his shouldn't take longer than 2 hours I would think, unless he has many small clips on the timeline & the program is getting hung up on one oif them.
You know how that happens.
