Hi lacta,

welcome to the forum and please read the Quick Guide, the FAQ and Q&A (Q4) as this is already covered not a thousand times but it might get close to that. ;)

Have a look in the advanced forum and see this thread:

See your machine specs and compare them with some of this thread to see if ther's something wrong with your PC or if it is just "too slow" for a 4-Pass-VBR encode.

And yes, you will need about 10-15 GB for a conversion - and please use the defaults at first don't use the "MPEG 5.1" audio option.

Why? - Do a search on that topic! ;)

Hope this helps,
Gerti
