How do I investigate this? Mac Mini late 2009, 2.26 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 6 GB memory 1067 MHz DDR3, running 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. 2016-05-22T22:22:04+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1322#6127 Tony Still info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ If you're burning a DVD full of video (eg to use with a DVD player) and all the video needs transcoding (to TV standard SD or whatever), it will take a long time. My MacBook is significantly faster than your Mini and it still took iDVD an overnight time (I left it running, it was done in the morning) to burn a DVD I produced. To confirm, launch Activity Monitor and expect to see Toast using 100% CPU. If you're lucky, it'll be using 200%, meaning that it's multi-threading and using both of your CPU cores. You can try quitting everything else that's running but it's unlikely to make much difference :-( . If you're dong something else, it would help to have some details of the content going onto the DVD. 2016-05-23T11:08:53+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1322#6131 Eric Jervis info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Tony, Activity Monitor shows 90% is idle. Its video of about 3.5 GB, and I'm pretty sure it used to burn this much faster. It did burn one last night as I was sleeping! 2016-05-23T19:48:45+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1322#6134 Eric Jervis info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Six hours later CPU hovering between 50 and 70%, disc 87% completed. 2016-05-23T22:38:20+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1322#6135 Tony Still info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ That's disappointing then. Will Toast create a DVD image as a file that you can subsequently burn to an actual DVD? If so, that could be faster. 2016-05-24T08:59:46+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1322#6136 Eric Jervis info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Not as far as I can see, but it would create a Div X disc which would only be 618 MB, instead of 2.45 GB.
