    Vegas 4.oe users, how long should it take to encode a 30 minute video?

    I have a video I have edited that will eventually go on a DVD. The video is just over 30 minutes. There is only a couple of basic transitions and 2 generated text events.

    Computer I am using now has 1gb of ram, 2.8ghz P4 w/HT. Nothing else is running in the background, no other open applications.

    The countdown meter says 3 hours to completion. Then, as I understand it, I will have to re-encode into MPEG-2 for transfer to the DVD using DVDA.

    So, just to clarify my quesiotn. In your experience, does it really take over 6 hours to make a 30 minute DVD? If not, I must be doing something wrong here...

    Thank you!

      Depending on the settings etc.. it can take that long.. seems a little longish though.

      I always encode movies on my old computer.. then I dont give a fuck how long it takes.
