new computer system settings ?

[unclebubbies]

Went out and purchased a new computer yesterday. Looking at my system can someone tell me the best configuration for settings in the A/v codec. Please include if I check the boxes for "disable all GPU Codecs" ? Also "enable lightning recoding.Cuda? Software? Also the Blu Ray Copy Encoding Settings? Please be specific for each setting so I can use this program the most efficient way possible. Being limited in computer skills I don't really know what these options mean. Here's my new computer specs:

Hi unclebubbies
The only way to know for sure the best settings is to test it yourself.
Just try a few chapters of a movie with different settings and take notes.
Your GPU is not really a high end card, but try it using cuda then with software.
I would disable Lightning-Recoding

Hey Unc, they said get new discs; not an entire new system! Enjoy...

Will do. Kind of a let down for me to hear that my brand new computer's graphics card is low end. Most computers i looked at didn't even come with a dedicated card. So far using cuda on all the settings I have managed to speed up compressing from 50 gb to 25 gb to 3 hours compared to the 8-12 hours my old computer used to take to compress. You are telling me to assign cuda to all categories in the A/V codec correct? What about the blu ray copy encoding settings? There's also an option somewhere to pick a high speed/normal quality or a slow speed/high quality? Which do I select? I don't really know how to just back up a couple of chapters?
ebjones.... Been looking at an upgrade for a computer and thought I found the one at a great low cost. Not informed enough on graphic cards to know the difference between high end and low end.
