Let me preface this with I have had some problems with getting my DVD burner(Sony DRU-530A), OS (XP-SP1) and MB (ASUS P4800) to work together "perfectly". Always seems to have some small problem.
But I just upgraded to V5 and DVD-A2. Never have used DVD-A. In burning my first DVD with the program I noticed what seem to me to be some very long estimated times for rendering and burning. I know times are estimates but I have an 1 hour 41 minute mpeg movie. I have an opening menu with a bmp and play button. Nothing fancy at all. I am burning it to a +RW at 2.4X. The estimated time to render and burn is over 3 hours. Is this normal? I've always used Sonic's DVDIt! SE. Times are generally around 20 minutes for a full DVD.
Am I doing somethnig wrong? What is the rendering process? (if iit is already in mpeg2 format) Is there a hardware/softeware problem? Does it take approximately twice as long as the movie is to burn?
Thanks in advance.
