Long AC3 render time in V5 - unless I use loop region -AC-3 Encoder

Subject:Long AC3 render time in V5 - unless I use loop region Posted by: smhontz Date:5/3/2004 8:02:30 AM I have a 5 minute video. If I try to render it out AC3 - Stereo DVD, it crawls - saying it will take 45 minutes. If I select a loop region of the entire video, and do the same render with "Render loop region only" it's done in 1 minute. I checked the timeline and there is nothing past the end of the video.

I usually watch the first 30 seconds of the encode and if things don't start picking up I kill it and try again. Sometimes choosing a different order of setting the options will fix the problem. In 4.0a-c (I recall) it was virtually impossible to change the options without this ultra-long encode to nothing. Now, in 4.0e, this happens to me about one out of every six encodes. Not too bad. At least I can get work out sometimes.
