Hi, I am still getting used to PD 14. Love it!

So, when I produce / create a DVD, it takes about 10 minutes for a half hour video that has lots

of effects, transitions and small video segments.

HOWEVER, it still takes real time or worse when I chose to make a "file" for my desktop.

Is it because I am choosing H. 264?

I would like to choose mp4, WMV or AVI, so is there a way to do that and still have an option for HD?

What are the steps to keep it simple?

Will it take less time to produce?

When I produce one hour shows, it takes an hour to produce/finalize or whatever it is called...

Thanks!

You are on the right track. A DVD is approx 1/4 the resolution of HD (mp4) video. If you look at the properties of each file you'll notice just how much larger in number of bytes they are. The more bytes the longer to render. Win 10, i7

That might be correct, depending on your hardware.

Do you have Hardware Video Encoder turned on when rendering in h264?

Also the Harware Acceleration in the Options menu?

Hi angela123,
Image or any attachment, select "post reply" button at the bottom of the forum.
Check out Preferences for the Hardware Acceleration options.
I hope this helps you.
Dafydd

Hi, Angela!

I've had a similar experience in that a video I put together for sending to a community TV station in Newcastle(Australia) required a good High Quality video image for the purpose of broadcast, so I rendered it in AVCHD, it took an extremely(inordinately) long time to render. I tried doing a version in MPEG2 HQ, and it rendered comparitively "in the blink of an eye" compared to the AVCHD render. So I figured anything really short(like a couple of minutes), AVCHD will suffice, but anything that exceeds 10 minutes, I'll render in MPEG2(SP or HQ). It'll save a heck of a lot of time and hair-pulling(out of frustration).

Cheers!

Neil.
