I have a Sony DRX-830U external 2.0 USB DVD Recorder.
This is a 16x machine. Using the Nero Software that came with the machine, it takes it about three hours to make a copy of a one hour DVD. I do our church services each Sunday on tape, transfer to DVD and make copies for our shut-in members. Why does it take so long? Thanks. DA DA |

Program also supports converting audio files into 2-channel AC3 format, supports NTSC and PAL formats and also 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. Program's encoding engine is pretty fast and produces good-quality results (of course it can't be compared to multipass encoding with CCE, but the easiness and the speed of the software makes it up), considering that the source material is typically already heavily compressed with lossy encoding methods. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/da...tware_ id=637 -Art- (not Art) art2u |

Instead, be sure to make a disc image file (.ISO) the first time, and then do all subsequent copies by burning the image to the blank discs. This will make future copying much easier as well, since you can ditch all the capture files and keep only the source tape for your archives and the ISO file for making copies. It shouldn't take more that 15 minutes to burn an ISO file. R Rich Clark |

Yes it is saving as an .iso file. Still taking about real time x 4.
