I am using the Vista dvd burner for the first time, and it's taking forever. I am burning 3 720p clips onto a dvd, I started the process about an hour ago and it's only at 15.1% encoding..wtf? Is this normal with Vista dvd burner?

Video encoding in general takes lots of CPU muscle. I used to use Adobe Premiere Elements to encode non-HD DVDs on my dual-core X2 3800+, and with both cores at ~95% it could still take a couple hours just for the encoding phase, never mind burning the actual disc. What's your rig like, and what's your CPU load?

(encoding video is not simply a matter of planting files on the disc, if you didn't know that already)

Oh damn this could take me forever then, I have a P4 2.8 with 2 gigs of ram.

I haven't worked with 720p video but considering how much more video data that entails, 15% encoded in an hour might not be bad at all for a 2.8GHz P4. Is it a hyperthreaded P4 at least?

If you want to do lots of video encoding, you might see if a shiny new C2D processor would jive with your motherboard.

I only encode avi -> mpeg, but my C2D does wonders for it. I'll time my next encode.

 
I did several encodings while I was running my opteron 175 and using nero it did take some time with high quality settings. I haven't tried it since I've moved over to c2d but I will sooner or later.
