HI,

I am producing right now a homemade video with PowerDirector 15 64bit to DVD (MPEG-2, High Quality, PAL, 3301MB).

The progress is at 74% and time elapsed at 01:49:00. Time remaining 34 minutes.

The video files are MPG 720x576 from a camcorder. So they are DVD quality already.

Over 2 hours for producing a DVD video with DVD-already files???

TrueVelocity 6 and OpenCL are not present? I checked the boxes on these two in Hardware Acceleration.

I've also tried with 1280x720 1-hour video. It is slow the same. Over 2 hours converting time.

Something is not right.

How can I speed up the converting process?

AMD Phenom II X4 955 3,2 Ghz

8 GB DDR3

Nvidia GTX 960

Thank you!

We'll need a lot more detail on your PC and the type of files you are editing. Please see the top of the first page of this forum to see what we need. Win 10, i7

The only option I have for producing movie is "Hardware encoding". SVRT is disabled.

When I encode with hardware (I guess it is my GTX 960), the AMD CPU is working 95%. I think the hardware encoding is not working.

Why?

Did you do any image corrections? Color, sharpening, anything like that can really slow down production. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Use GPU-Z to check the video card usage. I don't produce anymore DVD's but I think the process of making VOB files from MPEG2 (so no SVRT avail here) is not nativelly accelerated by the GTX960:

Only H264 and H265 are encoded with hardware support. Piucture below is for newer Pascal, our Maxwell 2 nvenc is missing a couple of things) on the output.

I have "Video Denoise" and "Video Enhancement" activated.

Update.

You're right. I disabled all video enhancements. I have just transitions between videos. Now, the convertion is fast...as it should. It shows 12 minutes for a 1-hour video.

So...

Any video or audio enhancement slows the video production a lot.

Thanks a lot !

How can I see GPU ussage in CPU-Z?

I have the software opened during the convertion process. But I don't see any statistics about usage.

CPU-Z is for the processor. GPU-Z is the one for the Graphics card.

You can see the GPU load on the sensors tab of GPU-Z. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

CPU-Z and GPU-Z. Got it.

Thank you!
