That does sound like a long time to mux the streams, what hardware are you running on?

How long is the video?

Well you've got a slightly faster PC than mine, your encode times are about the same as mine, but the muxing pass is way way too long.

I've never had this problem so its a little hard for me to help you, hav you looked in the Optimise page before you prepare the DVD?

Do you see any warnings, apart from the ones about menus being outside safe area?

only for the sound but the sound takes about 10 minutes for all the project to be recompresed.when i am starting to do the dvd it tells in the progres line that it is re-encoding video for page (page is the pages that i am making )

So its the video that has to be re-encoded, that shouldn't be necessary.
You've already encoded it to mpeg-2 from VV using the PAL/NTSC DVD template, right?

Assuming you encoded PAL mpeg-2 and set the project as PAL in the DVDA project properties then there's no need for it to re-encode.

I suspect that's where it's gone wrong, transcoding PAL mpeg-2 to NTSC mpeg-2 (or the other way around) will take a very long time. If it was a straight re-encode say to a different bit rate it wouldn't take that long.


Check that the DVDA project properties match those of the mpeg-2 video file you are bringing in.

1. Open the project in DVD-A.
2. Click on "File" and then click on "Optimize DVD ..."

Look at each line. Just to the left of the column labeled "Video Forma" you should see an icon. For your main movie, you should have a green check mark if DVD-A is not going to recompress the video. If you see some other icon, then DVD-A is going to recompress, and that will probably take many hours. Please report back on what you see. If DVD-A is recompressing, then you probably didn't choose the correct template in Vegas when rendering. This is most likely what is going on, and will be easy to change.
