1st time creating DVD movie

  • Check free HDD space -> 6.5 Gigs
  • Loading Ulead DVD Factory 4
  • Capture 60 minutes miniDV standard play -> 3 Gigs (deu…)
  • Auto chapter, auto enhance, auto menus
  • Create DVD -> Need 6 Gigs!!! (free only 4 Gigs)
  • Uninstall NFS Most Wanted (huu…huu…huu…)
  • Re-create DVD -> 3 hours rendering!!! (using P4 2.8GHz with 512 DDR and ATA 100 HDD)
  • Auto burn to DVD-R -> 15 minutes
  • Test @ my DVD player -> Menus are amazing, pictures are slight grainy (probably caused by auto enhance), overall GOOD! Much better than my other VCDs

Conclusion: need faster HDD, probably 200Gigs SATA 150.
