• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

So I filmed a 3 minute long video in photobooth and put it into iMovie. I set it for highest settings in the ''Share using quicktime'' so that when I eventually uploaded it to youtube, it would be in HD.

Now, its saying I have to wait 50 minutes for it to export as a mov file. Isn't that really long? There has to be a shortcut to avoid waiting this long.

Can anyone explain how to deal with this?

How fast is your Mac? And how big of a file are you playing with?
