How long does it take you to burn a 2hr avi/mp4 movie in toats? Its been taking my Macbook Pro 4+ hours and I can't remember if thats what it used to take or if somethings wrong with it.

depends on the chip in the mac and how much re-encoding needs to be done

can take up to half a day on my G4, so I take them in to work and let the Intel Mac pro have a go

i've had ones take up anywhere from a full day on my 733mhz quicksilver (g4), to just over an hour on my 2.0 GHz Macbook.
