I have been using video studio 8 and upgraded to VS9. My program does what it is supposed to BUT it seems to run so slow.
I spent some good bucks upgrading my RAM to 2.0GB pc 3200 DDR thinking it would run better. But it doesn't. It is painfully slow between screens when I try to create a disc.
I select the video files I want, They take a while to load on the timeline which is understandable. But it is terrible the rest of the way. Takes at least 30 to 60 seconds between screens to make the rest of my selections. It just seems to run so slow.
I am not talking about the conversion/burn process. I know that takes time. I am talking about the time it takes to select the video files to the time I hit burn.
Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
VideoStudio 9.0 runs slow.

Hi MIguy,
Well it looks like you have enough horsepower to run VS9. The next thing I look at is your storage space, 60gig HDD. While that is sufficient to work on video files, one thing to keep in mind is that video files can get rather large real quick.
One thing that slow things down with VS9 is background programs running at the same time. Try to make sure you have as much of the background applications (anti-virus, instant messaging, etc..) shut down. I shut down everything I can, even my network card while editing. To do this in WinXP press CTL+ALT+Delete to bring up your task manager. Select the Processes Tab. You should see alot of things there. However if you're not sure what to shutdown, and shutdown the wrong service, the computer will crash. I use EnditAll to shut down the background apps.
What format are you using to edit, (DV-AVI, or MPEG), right click on one of the clips and select properties, what are they? I don't think that's what's causing you problems, but can't tell from here...
You also might try empting/cleaning out your Temp Folder. You'll have to be able to see Hidden Files. Navigate to C:\Documents and Setting>User Name>Local Settings (hidden Folder)>Temp. User Name is what ever name you use on your computer. Do not delete the Temp folder however select all (CTL+A) files in that folder and send them packing to the recycle bin.. That should free up some space to work with.
Hope that helps ya'

John and Don thank you both for your input.
When I said timeline I didn't mean the timeline used to create video files. I just meant the area in disc creation where it shows which files you are going to use, before you go to the menu screen.
I will try to make sure my antivirus etc is off but I usually have most off anyway.
I will watch to see what anyone else might have to offer also.
Thanks guys.
