2h video - 15 hours render - too long?
by John Gregoriades on Dec 10, 2007 at 5:30:49 am

Hi,
I am presently rendering to MPEG2 DVD-PAL a 2-hour video. It is composed of essentially 5 .VOB segments extracted from a DVD, total 2 hours, placed on the same timeline, with the addition of about 3 minutes of beginning titles and music on separate video & audio tracks. Nothing else, no fancy laps, fades, etc. The rendering is now in its 9th hour, and proceeding normally, with an indication that it will go to about 15 hours.
The PC is a Windows XP with 2G of RAM and a Pentium-4, 3.4GHz CPU, plenty of HD storage space, and nothing else running (except the usual background stuff, I guess.)
Does this amount of render time seem excessive?
Thank you.
John

VOB files ARE MPEG2 files that have been multiplexed. Why are you re-rendering them? Just use another program to demultiplex them back to MPEG2 files.

Go to Videohelp dot com, and they have tools listed that can do this job.

Thank you. I downloaded DVDDecrypter, and used one of my video DVDs. It was easy to create .VOB files, and pre-reading the general information it looked like DVDDecrypter could "demultiplex" the VOBs back to MPEG2. But searching through its menus (mainly "Settings") I could not find anything (that I could understand) that would do this trick.
