Re: speed up dvd creation

To offer any advice would require some more info on your part. Some things that would be useful (but not limited to) :

1) what is your source format
2) how do you capture (what format captured to)
3) what is the duration of your finished/edited video
4) what type of edits do you do (straight cuts, complex overlays, heavy titling, etc...)
5) how is the time allocated (5 hours to edit, 3 hours to convert, 2 hours to burn) -- I am just making those times up. But if you can list your workflow and appox. times for each stage, perhaps it might be easy to identify some things that can be improved upon
6) do you render "multiple" times during the editing stage (or only on final render before authoring to dvd
7) what equipment do you have (PC configuration, burner make/model, etc...)

The more details you can provide regarding that 10 hours, the better off folks are to offering some hints/guidelines that might reduce that time...
