[MacDV] Re: DVD

The encoding from DV to MPEG2 is what takes the most time. A full 1:45
minute DVD might take as long as 8 hours to encode, depending on the
processor in your computer, the RAM.

The burning speed is based almost entirely on the speed of your burner. If
you have a 4x burner, it will take approximately 15-20 minutes to burn your
disc.

If you want to burn additional copies at a later date, use the Make Disc
Image under the file menu.
