| 543847 | 2007-04-24 13:48:00 | ok my 2c worth - I use Nero Vision express for this quite a bit. first video encoding as others have said is a very system intensive thing and may just take that long the data disk thing is a good Idea but if you want to make a DVD using Nero make sure once you get into the program to click the more button, choose video options, check the Enable smart encoding box. This won't make avi's transcode any faster, but will make any allready DVD compliant MPG's burn MUCH! faster - otherwise Nero will still fully transcode them. Personally I get any files I want to use into the correct format before using Nero - But on a dual core machine with 2G of RAM it's not too painful :) Incidentally Transcoding is a quicker, lower quality method of changing formats / bitrates etc than a full (very slow) re-encode which you won't usually notice on a good quality video, but if preserving every scrap of quality is your thing you may want to avoid it. |

| 543848 | 2007-04-24 14:20:00 | I agree, WinAVI is _plenty_ faster, but cant do the cool menus and things. For a while I was using WinAVI to encode to DVD then running it through Nero again to make nice menus. It was a waste of time. If you dont mind no menus, then WinAVI. If you want Menu's, then Nero Vision is great! Dont do data discs, then you cant share XYZ family videos with your relatives. BTW - I do most of my encoding on a 3100+ (2Ghz) 64-bit Sempron w/512MB Ram. 512MB Ram should suffice for Nero ;) Its video processing, its always going to take a while. I'd hate to think how badly you'd cry if you had to encode 3 DVDs to h.264 video with Nero Recode doing 2-pass encoding, coz thats what I recode all mine to :D |

| 543849 | 2007-04-24 15:07:00 | Which is why everyone should have at least 2 grunty PC's in their home at any one time. | Metla (12) | ||
| 543850 | 2007-04-24 16:11:00 | Yep, i reckon its good to have 2 pc's, it use to give me a pain waiting for Encoding on Nero with a Celeron 2.4, got rid of that and put together a pent 4 / 3.00 ghz- 512 mb ram, she goes great and a hell of a lot faster when encoding [ about 25 minutes for normal movie ] but i thought it would be better still if i had a spare PC just for a backup and i could solely do encoding on that one, without interfering with my good one when i am using it. So I had some bits a pieces hanging around, just an old 733 mhz pent 3 cpu, 2 sticks x 128 mb ram, i ran Win 2000 pro and then used that program NLite, www.softpedia.com and got rid of all the crap, stripped it right down to the bare essentials and i couldn't believe the power this old bugger had, its really unbelievable, encodes in no time and its a good backup pc as well. |

| 543852 | 2007-04-24 21:19:00 | When editing a video in Nero Vision, does it allow you to add and edit music tracks in your video? Can you hook it up to more than one computer for a bigger render job? |

| 543853 | 2007-04-24 22:00:00 | If u make a DVD using Nerovision u can cut bits out / split parts, use your own voice. Add titles add text effects, menus, and in Nerovision 4, (part of Nero 7), the menus u make up (you have to download the templates), theyre animated. Looks like u can load any media file u want including MP3's. Havent yet checked or tried to edit one tho, to see if u can edit an MP3. Most probably can. I doubt if u can hook it up to another computer, well it may work in Linux. I dont think it would with Windows. |
