Shrink very slow

[pommypoof]

I recently put dvd shrink on somebody elses computer but it runs real slow.
2 hours to shrink and 1 hour 20 minutes to burn. Tried same disk on mine and it took 1 hour 12 minutes total.
Other computer is 2.8 gig with 256 of RAM.
Is there a way to speed it up?

1) Time to compress ("shrink") - Don't turn on "AEC"

2) Time to burn - Sounds like the "other computer" is using a demo version of NERO that's been used for more than 30 days and is, therefore, limited/"crippled" to burning at 1X

You cpuld be spot on with the burning but i dont know what you mean by AEC. How do I access it.

Check to see if the "somebody else" you were referring to might have one or more of his DVD Drives running in PIO mode, instead of the (much faster) DMA Mode.

Sounds like it is in PIO mode to me also.
