DVD Burning questions

! just got a system with a DVD Burner. The capture process through the 1394 port is real time, but the conversion process (Rendereing, right?) to put it in DVD format but still on HDD is about 60% of real time. Is there any way to speed this up?

I have a P4 2.53 w/ 512MB would a Gig of RAM help or is there something else I can do?
 
I am not sure what you are asking.

Do you want to speed up encoding? The right tools make a difference. Right now the best encoder for DVD is CCE. There are a ton out there depending on what you are trying to do though (see links)

I have a new laptop with a DVD burner and a 2.0 Ghz P4 + 512MB RAM. Encoding takes about 3-4 times longer than my dually 1.4Ghz AMD with SCSI HD's and 1 GB RAM.

You might benefit from an IDE Hardware RAID array (RAID 0) more than anything else with what you have (assuming you don't want to go SCSI at this point - I'd wait and see how SATA evolves). The extra RAM won't hurt either since it is so cheap. Bottom line is that encoding and video manipulation takes time though. 1-3 hours is great for what used to take 15-20+ hours not too long ago.

My system is very close to yours and my encode rate with CCE Basic can be as high as 1.7 (1.0 being the real time so it is faster.) Read through the links I posted in your other thread for info on the encoders.

Good luck,
