I am using Movie Edit Pro Plus (the newest one) to create a DVD of a movie. It will fit on a standard 2hr disc. Pro indicates the process will take TEN HOURS!
Is something wrong with my setup or is this what MAGIX calls progress?
Hi Rick
. . . . It will fit on a standard 2hr disc. Pro indicates the process will take TEN HOURS! . . . .
The time taken to render and burn the DVD depends on two different sets of parameters:-
Given your computer specification:
. . . Intel QuadCore i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA QUADRO K620 Video Card . . .
I think the time stated may be correct.
I suspect that hardware acceleration (HWA) is not being used, the processor integrated GPU (HD2500) is not capable of HWA, a 4th generation Intel processor is needed as a minimum and the NVidia may not be being used if the drivers have been updated to a version where CUDA was dropped by NVidia.
Added:
I have just completed a test DVD burn on my old PC with a 2hr 17 min project on a GT 630 graphics card with HWA enabled and it took 4 hrs including recoding from Full HD 1920 * 1080 video.

I gather that means I need a new PC. That's a pretty expensive way to upgrade my video editor! 😬
Is there a change of drivers which would avert this difficulty?

Not necessarily and possibly. The performance of the K620 is similar to my GTX 630
Check that the Hardware Acceleration options are turned on in MEP settings Import/Export tab.
Download and run the AIDA64 Extreme analysis tool - there is a trial self contained version which only needs unzipping to run it - and look in the sections indicated in the image below for the CUDA dll file and version
There is also a Windows 10 version of the K620 drivers available here which appears to include CUDA, and older drivers can be found here.
