[G4] iMovie and iDVD

[B G]

That could be right, you do not say what speed the processor is but I  
am guessing an 800 or a 1 gig.

Processor RAM and video quality affect rendering time, which is what  
takes the longest.

The actual burn is not too bad I assume a 1 or 2x burner. If you want  
to burn multiple copies do it right after the first burn.

It will prompt you, you will save a lot of time

Good luck
