Hi all,

I have been trying to turn my MiniDV home videos into DVDs but it takes
many hours to encode the MPEG for the DVD on my AMD Athlon XP 2700+ with
512MB RAM and 7200RPM hard disk, using Ulead VideoStudio. It seems to
take even longer to convert MPEG2 (captured from my digital TV card)
into MPEG2 suitable for DVD. I'm guessing CPU is the main problem and
there aren't many faster CPU alternatives but please correct me if I'm
wrong.

So can I get a PCI card that will do the job for me?

Thanks for any help.

Simplest solution fit this

and attach your outputs from your DV card to it. Save files. Author your
transitions and menus with your software and compile to dvd format.
Should save time as the mpegs only have to indexed into VOB's.
