No worries Bob, i'm just trying to figure out why the new version would be slower on my laptop. I mean, if the virtual memory is almost full, or something is wrong with my laptop, then both Dvd Fab versions would be operating the same speed. But they're not. The new version is very very slow at converting to mp4, however, backing up dvd on main movie mode is fast. So it's not a faulty new version because all the processes would be slow right? But in my case, only the mp4 conversion under the "ipod" catergory is slow. Any additional suggestions. I've already uninstalled and re-installed the new version twice. Problem remains.
