Video Editing Tips

DVD conversion requires a lot of computational operations which would be no wonder that conversion of 45 minutes of video to take around 8 to 10 hours. Termed lossy video encoding, it has high requirements on processing, memory and storage that it does indeed take hours upon hours of processing. Encoding in either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4, movies take up to 10 hours. Just a tip, try doing your editing during the daytime and then the encoding process during the rest of the night, you might also want to turn off the screensaver and sleep/hibernate functions of your motherboard so you don’t end up throwing it out the window as you wake up expecting a finished conversion only to find a snoozing computer.
