first time question

[phaz]

I just bought a artec burner and it came with nero vision express. I tried burning a movie in avi format letting nero decode it and it worked fine. The dvd came out great and good picture and sound. My question is it took 4 hours total and was wondering if this is about normal or is there a faster way.
thanks phaz

well decoding and then re-encoding can take awhile

personally ive never done it on this massive computer

If your AVI format movie was recorded from TV, then recoded by Nero and then burnt, 3-4 hour time is seem reseasonable. But ripping, encoding and burning a movie from alread DVD should take 40-60 minutes time.
