Page 1 of Best way to improve transcoding speed?

I have an xp1800 (1.4ghz) with 512mb ram and a 32 mb graphics card, When I try to write a 700mb AVI file to dvd using nero it takes around 8 hrs to transcode then about 5 mins to write the dvd, whats the best way of speeding this process up hopefully to take less than 1 hour if possible

If you want to come after me you`ll find me in Newport Pagnell but be warned I know karate, Judo, Kung-fu and several other dangerous words

u can try winavi as thats pretty fast but 8 hr is what ud expect for ur set-up,im running a p4 2.8 with a gig of ram and it takes me on average 2hr 30 mins,either buy a divx player or a upgrade/new setup m8,u wont get anything near a hr transcode unless u buy a dual cpu

thanks for the advice, hmmmmmmm wife wants me to be able to write dvd`s faster so that may justify me buying myself a super new toy ;)
