    ConvertXtoDVD is one of the faster and better ones out there.

    Check this setting. Go to settings>encode. If encoding quality is set to high quality will take a little longer. You can change it to medium quality.

    How slow is slow? What are your pc specs?

    If there is a faster one-click app out there...let everyone else know. Cuz I haven't seen one.

    There are faster standalone encoders out there, but then you still have to author the encode. ConvertXtoDVD is automatic one-click, and I haven't seen anything faster.

    Not bad at all on the specs - my guess with those would be 1 hr to covert say a 700mb avi w/ medium quality in ConvertX.

    How long is is taking you?

    lol
    When I use 2.8 ghz w/ 1 gig ram and it takes me say 50 mins w/ those settings in ConvertX. So 1/2 the ram just added some time.

    I bring the output from Convertx into DVD Shrink.
    If Shrink accepts the files without complaint, then I know they are 100% good.
    I click 'Backup!' and tell it to burn the DVD with DVD Decrypter.

    So, it plays ok on the PC and three standalones plus a PS2, but not on one player.
    It will play previously burned disks without complaint?Just hates new ones?
    If so I think the Nero Forum would advise to burn at a maximum of 4X on Verbatim and see if anything changes.

    I'd skip the FixVTS with ConvertX - just let ConvertX do it's thing.
    Check in ConvertX for this setting - settings>tv format. Have it set to NTSC. Might not be the problem though but it what I leave mine set at.

    How about smirnoff bet instead of a sode :0)
    I think ConvertX by default is set to automatic for TV format - I seem remember changing it to NTSC.
    DivXtoDVD is the free version of ConvertX - not updated anymore that I know of but still good too.

    lol

    Yeah when you get home you'll see what I mean - for TV format only 2 dropdowns - video standard and tv screen. Change video standard to NTSC from automatic. That might do the trick with the 1 player.
