Scott Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Air! Thermalright ultra 120 extreme does the job nicely. I havent tried pushing it further, if I ever find the time I should do really. I think its my memory thats holding me back. I have 4gb of corsair but i'm sure its 800 cas 5. Think i need some better memory to push mine any further. I'm using a Big typhoon and arctic silver.

Conrad Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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.

Thorin Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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!
