Takes forever to encode for vcd

[Guest]

How cum?
It takes Nero about 30-min to encode an hour's worth of .wmv files to VCD format and another 5-10 min to burn the VCD
It takes WMM 5-HOURS (that's what it says) to encode .the same files for VCD
How cum MicroSoft (author of wmv) needs 5-hours to do what the AfterMarket people can to in 30-min
MM2 is absolutely useless for creating VCD media! (and, of course, it won't do DVD encoding AnyWay!

System is AMD XP2200+, 800M of DDR, 40x CD burn, 4x DVD burn

Perhaps it's using a better compression technique, which would hopefully
result in a better quality end product?
