Long AVI/MKV encoding to DVD?

[xxragex1]

I've been using Avi2DVD to encode AVIs and MKV files I've gotten to burn to DVD. When I was using my Prescott P4 2.8Ghz, 2GB ram machine and it would take about 3-4 hours to encode about hour and a half of footage to dvd.

I just upgraded my system to a Core i7-920 w/ 6 Gigs ram 64 bit OS. Its taking me the same amount of time. When looking into things I was expecting the encoding to take mayb 5-10 minutes when going to the i7. The AVI2DVD program is using all four cores too.

I heard CCE is suppose to be faster, but with a 64 bit system, i can't find a digital signature to try it. Does anyone have any idea or maybe another program I can use that can handle the encoding?

Try AVStoDVD. You can set it up to use HCenc, a great, fast encoder.

Not all the time in the dvd creation is the video encoding; the authoring stage
can take a while, as well as the audio encode and conversion.

CCE is a great fast encoder. You will need a separate program to author to DVD, as CCE doesn't offer that feature.
