Buring DVDs is a very slow. Is this normal?

Hello,

I am burning some home movies to dvd for a friend. Seems like they take a lot of space and a long time to burn. I just used Nero Vision 8 and a hour of video takes 4.2 gigs of space and 40 minutes to transcode and burn.

I have Vista 64, a 9800gtx, AMD 6000+ and 8 gigs of ram. Dose this sound right to you guys? Am I missing something? I can burn a 1 gig file in like a minute. I know transcoding can take a while but this seems a bit much. Thanks!
 
40 min to transcode AND burn? Sounds great to me.

4.2 gb for an hour is a lot, but it is likely encoding it to the max bitrate it can based on how much video you have. a DVD-R is labeled as 2 hours. I have put 4.25 hours on one and it still looked good.
 
I felt it was slow because I thought my girlfriends iMac did it in like 10 min. That was probably without encoding, just burning. Also, its two hours. Not sure why I thought it was one.

I only went AMD/Nvidia because of Hybrid Power and I was worried that my choice was holding me back. Its pretty awesome to have a silent SFF(ish) case on your desktop with a 9800GTX inside. Gave me an inferiority complex though 😛
 
what file formats are you transcoding from? Are you making menu's for these dvds? If not try to look for WinAVI v7. Transcoding 2hr XVID to DVD only takes about 45 mins on machine below.
