Nero

by pablonava May 19, 2006 10:16AM PDT

Ok guys I'm wondering if you knew if ahead the company of nero was going to make its new version a dual core optimized? Right now a 1gb takes between 20-40 minutes to burn. Thats do to the file needed to be converted. If its dual core optimized then the time can be cut in half I believe. So I ask again will it be optimized?

Converted from what to what? If I use Nero to burn a backup copy of a folder to DVD (with 1 Gb, you can't mean CD) the files aren't really converted?
And, of course, speeds will depend on the DVD-burner and the CPU speed of your machine.

I think that Nero tech support is a better place to ask your question: http://www.nero.com/nero7/eng/Contact.html
If you mail them, provide more details than you did here.

Hope this helps.

sorry for that

i meant the transcoding of the file man. it takes a good amount of horsepower to transcode it faster. a 1gb video file of mine takes 20-40 minutes to burn fully on my new rig man. so my original question was will they make it optimized for dual core to transcode a video file faster?

Just speculation at this point...

So far there has been no official, or even unofficial, announcement about any plans for the next version of Nero, so any comment on upcoming features and functionality would be pure speculation. However, it's very likely that they will optimize Nero for dual-core and 64-bit processing. Those technologies have been out for some time now, and are beginning to infiltrate even the budget lines, so from a business standpoint, it would be wise for Ahead Software to take advantage of the new technologies.

Regards,
John

Worth noting.

Transcoding with both VIRTUAL DUB and VLCPLAYER does take advantage of dual core (I tested Virtual Dub) and my 64-bit CPU (again, only Virtual Dub tested.) VLCPLAYER appears to use dual and 64-bit but I didn't do anything but the onceover.
