[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1073963, member: 56231"] May I ask about the order of events as you outline them, ie. are you compressing the movie BEFORE exporting, or afterwards? Ten hours for an 80-minute movie is an awfully long time. Re your question: if you're going to leave your iMac going for ten hours, it should not be a bother for it unless the machine is in a very hot room. Check the operating temp tolerances in the iMac specs. Remember, some iMacs are never switched off (unless it's for maintenance, but that's usually in an air-conditioned room). If you're not comfortable with that, point a small desk fan in the direction of the air intake (at the base of the iMac body) while you're doing the movie task. [/QUOTE]
