Is it actually that hard to build your own PC?

Totally daft question time!

 

When I'm creating a DVD with Nero and Nero is converting the AVI file into another format to write to disk (encoding?) - it takes almost as long to burn as it does to watch what I'm burning on the laptop!

 

Which components are resposnible for doing this job? ie what should I buy the best of to make Nero burn quicker?

You should use something like WinAVI to do the encoding. It will be much much faster at processing the video.

 

Unless you have a hardware encoder/decoder the processor and memory does the work.

 

I can encode 2hrs of video from XVid Avi to VIDEO_TS files in around 20-25 mins.

The Nero vision encoder is very good, but encoding still takes time. It's purely processor based... although saying that there is technology coming out now that lets you offload some of the video encoding to your graphics card GPU!

 

This is what I was unsure about really, whether it was the processor or a graphics card that did the work. As I don't intend getting a graphics card (yet) I was hoping it was the processor's job! ;)
