Why BD50 to BD9 conversion so slow?

[DVDFabLover2011]

Dear DVDFab developers, staffs, and experts,

Why is converting from BD50 to BD9 (1080 p/i) is taking so slow now? I tried many blu-ray movies and it took an average of about 40-50 hours to finish. The speed is un-acceptible. The average speed is 0.0 MB to 0.02 MB per second. The problem is the CPU and hard disk activities are almost idle.

Please take a closer look at this issue and please fix it ASAP. Thank you.

Please try to use the latest build 8123.

And what's the decoder and encoder are used?

Hello Wilson,

First I would like to correct a mistake. I first said the CPU is nearly idle, but I was wrong. The CPUs are using to the max. The memory usage is very high. The only thing that is near idle is the hard disk activity.

The decoder and encoder is set at the default settings, which I believe is "software".

For example, the movie "Om Shanti Om" took a whopping 53+ hours to finish. Please take a look at screenshots for more details.

I hope the developers will have a fix soon. Thanks.

If you have a USB hard drive, use that for the Source or Target, it will speed things up some (i.e. don't read and write to the same drive). I avoid the C: drive altogether, since windows is always reading and writing to the swap file, which is usually there. Your process is still very slow, not sure why unless the CPU just can't handle all the bits fast enough. Is this a Core2Duo? If you have IDE hard drives, make sure they are in UDMA transfer mode, not PIO. Same for your optical drive. Compressing Blu-rays is stressful and demanding of system resources. You might consider a system upgrade if you plan to do much work that involves decoding/re-encoding them.

Hi signals,

I don't think it is because of my system, because the first time I started using DVDFab was on version 8.1.0.5 Qt and it was around 3 hours or less to finish. Now with the latest stable version, it came out to be 50+ hours. Surely there are something wrong with the conversion/compression stage. CPUs are maxed out, memory usage is high, but with an average speed of 0.0 MB to 0.02 MB per second is totally ridiculous. Besides, my system specs is way better than the basic requirement for DVDFab. As I mentioned before, the older version ran at less than 3 hours. Now with the new version it is more than 50 hours. The problem is with the software.

Back in August in another of your threads, I suggested that you address the fact that your burner was in PIO mode.

From your log:
2011-08-26 01:24:23 Info PIO Mode..

It sounds very much like it is still in PIO mode.

In any case, I don't see that this problem was ever addressed.
I made other suggestions as well, but apparently, these suffered a similar fate.

You chose to either ignore or discard the advice and instead simply continued to argue and complain.
A curious response from someone asking for help.

I realize that you're frustrated, but frankly, you are your own worst enemy

maineman,

Please ask me before you accused me. I did everything that was adviced in here. Including resetting the DMA. I followed all the directions and scripts that everyone on here seems to be referring to everytime there are problems. Still, there are problems. That is why I still needed help.

Thank you.

[DiabloZoe]

Can you post recent logs showing you are not in PIO mode please?

[maineman]

maineman,

Thank you.

I'm not accusing you of anything. I am simply stating what occurred...based on your posts.

Here is the first thread to which I referred:


There simply was no reply that tells me you even attempted to reset from PIO to UDMA mode; nor did you express the least interest in attempting this.
You simply complained about default settings, etc.

I posted yet again, with a first-step, easy fix for PIO ---> DMA, that hopefully, would fix it.
I also spoke to the problems that Fab has had of late and to the complaints from users...many of whom I agree with.

Your response...oh wait for it....NONE

Again...your replies have either been non-responsive to what is being asked...or there's simply no reply at all.

I followed all the directions and scripts that everyone on here seems to be referring to everytime there are problems... Thank you.

Really? How could I possibly know this?
My post was the last entry in that thread.
So you either never returned to your thread or ignored my response...oh, there I go accusing again

Like I said, I'm betting you're still in PIO, but we'll need more than "I followed all the directions..." in order to sort this out.

You're welcome

Hi DVDFabLover2011
You have been asked numerous times to post your logs, post them or you will get no help.

Dear maineman, and CBR929.

I will post my logs once I get home from work. I don't think PIO mode is the problem here, because the whole process doesn't involve the burner yet. Here are the steps that I did:

1) Blu-Ray disc movie ==> BD50 Folder. (Work perfectly)
2) BD50 Folder ==> BD9 Folder. (40-50+ hours to finish)
3) Burn BD9 Folder to DVD+R DL 8.5 GB using Roxio Creator. (Work perfectly)
4) Play on standalone Blu-Ray players. (Work perfectly)

The problem is at step # 2. This is the conversion/compression stage for files directly on the hard disk. I hope this helps. If you still need the logs, I will post them later.

Thanks.

IDE hard drives can also be in PIO mode, but I don't think the DMA reset in DVDFab will fix them. Please try the suggestion to use two different hard drives as Source and Target, and check your C:\ drive in windows to verify the I/O mode if they (it) is an IDE drive.

I have not seen the actual machine specs anywhere either other than some vague statements.

I have not seen the actual machine specs anywhere either other than some vague statements.

Here it is, but you can find them from previous posts:

I am running:

- Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit Service Pack 2 with all the latest updates.

- Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6400 2.00 GHz.

- 4.00 GB RAM.

How old is this machine and is it desktop, portable, brand?

As my good frien, Maineman always says "The Devil is in the detail"!!!
