Sef: I still miss the correct description of how simon has built his Tiumeline.   In my opinion, the problem lies in the procedure. My machine is not so fast as Lew's machine, but rendertimes for producing HD ISO files from a 1 hour project, cost me no more than 3-4 hours. Up to finishing the ISO.   So: 1. what is your medi in ...

LewS: From my profile: 3.15GHz E8500 CPU, Intel MB w P35 chipset, 4GB memory, Pioneer DVD burner, onboard audio, nVidia 8800GTS w 512MB, 2TB (4 x 500GB) Raid 0 on Promise controller, 4 SATA removeable drive bays in addition to the Raid drives From what I read in this thread it seems like this render was twice as fast as what you are ...

LewS: OK, I am going to start rendering a DVD ISO file from a 47-minute HDV timeline (my Bentley Rally project) This is an HDV 2 timeline (1440 x 1080 29.97fps). The timeline itself is rendered (all green slices). Will report back when the render is completed. It is 5:35 PM EDT here now. It is 7:30 and I just walked in and the ISO file was ...

I thought I'd do some experiments to test concepts that might lead to a workflow. Here's one I can't get working, but feel it might be possible: My theory is that if I shoot in 50i, put the clip on a 59.94i timeline, and timewarp it just right so that each field is now 1/59.94 seconds long instead of 1/50 seconds long, that it should render ...

mjolnarn: simonbaker: Still interested in others' frame rates when encoding an ''iso'' DVD file from an HDV timeline (all green) with Liquid.  Regards, -SB About 90 % of the length of the timeline the last time I did it, was some time ago but still the same machine   Wow -- that would mean about 33 fps.  Was that an ...

I did a fuse and put on new timeline and the DVD burn process did not seem to go much faster, somewhere around 10 to 12 frames a second.  I think maybe that's as fast as Liquid can encode an HDV timeline to ISO format on my computer.  CPU usage around 40%.  It did turn out that the burn finished well before the ominous ''21 hours'' ...

Some more stats to ponder: I am now at 18% done with 17 hours 56 remaining.  It has been running for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. The dialog box says ''at 01:04:20.10'', which I think means how far along the timeline.  The material ends at 1:55, so that would suggest I'm about 56% done with this step;  does that mean another ...

TVJohn:I've found that the TmpGe stuff is hugely faster encoding HDV to SDDVD or BD. One hour of HDV takes a hour or so to BD or DVD. I get similar times with one pass DVDitHD. Both apps seem to max out my 4 core AMD 940 during encoding. My experience with Liquid runs less than 50% processor load. That is another good idea.  What ...

LewS:Are you still on 6.1??? In that case, these long render times may be correct. 7.2 has a much faster render engine. No, I'm running the latest 7.2 update as far as I know. Could you at some point start a DVD process on an HDV timeline (all green) and estimate the framerate (by timing a few hundred frames), just for ...

Maybe the estimate is deceiving... The export seems to be going at (conservatively) 10 frames/sec (eyeballing it). Material is 1 hour 50 minutes long = 110 minutes,  x 60 = 6600 seconds, * 30 fps = 198000 frames total. At 10 fps, time estimate is (198000 / 10) seconds = 19800, /60 = 330 minutes, /60 = 5.5 hours, which doesn't seem as ...
