Why does it take 28 minutes to convert a 4 minute wmv file to mp3? I checked the Task Manager and DBconvert.exe was only using 6-10% of the CPU. I am running XP Pro with a 2ghz clock and 256mb ram also a 1.6gb swap file. WHat am I not doing correctly. I can open Windows Move Maker and Windows Media Player. Play the wmv with media player and record a wma with movie maker in 4 minutes.

Conversion Results
I am registered now and performed a test and here are my results. I used a Toshiba Satellite 1905-S301 with 256M ram and a 2.0 ghz P4 Processor. My Operating System is Windows XP Pro with IE6 SP1. I downloaded the most recent DBPowerAmpConvertor, the Windows Media V9 Codec both parts and The Power Pack. After all where installed I rebooted and proceeded to convert files.

Looks like a problem with Video files, it seems to be converting the video stream into sound...no good. I will look into it, hoepfully sometime this weekend. Drop me an email to dbpoweramp@dbpoweramp.com so I can keep you informed.Comment

New Beta Codec works much better
The new Codec you linked to in your post worked much better in terms of time and performance. Is there a reference anywhere which explains the DSP's and their uses that come with Power Pack.
Volume Normalize and DC Offset are my first questions.Comment
