Is it normal for the machine in my sig to take ~3 or so hours to encode a DVD using Windows DVD Maker? (I'm making a disc with home video clips of all different qualities/bit-rates if that makes a difference). I just got this machine, I dunno, it seems too slow. Am I just being impatient?

It shouldn't take that long. To encode and burn an AVI file into a DVD only takes me less than an hour using Nero, depending on the video.

Look at his specs, you have a faster CPU, and you are running a raid 0, so yeah you will be faster. But most people will not be converting it that fast. I have a amd 64 x2 4200 with 2 gigs of ram and it takes me a couple of hours at least to convert 4 gigs to a dvd.

I'm running raid 1 not raid 0. And his computer is not that far off from mine. He has more memory but a little slower processor so time wise he might be at the most 15 minutes slower than me. And my files are roughly for 800mb size.

With the computer in my sig it took about 4.5 hours to do it :D I think having lotsa ram and lotsa GHz is will speed things up.
