How long should asset encoding take on an iDVD project that is 65 minutes?

Question

I'm trying to get this wedding video finished and so far it has only been about an hour. Would love to get this resolved today and I'm a little nervous...

Answer 1

It depends on the CPU in your Macintosh... and the version of iDVD and whether you used a motion menu or not.

Each frame is individually rendered. If it is a G4 PowerPC, it could take up to 6 hours.

If a G5 PowerPC, maybe 2-4 hours.

If an Intel-chip based machine, faster... don't sit there and stare at it - it will finish. Go do something else and check it hourly.

Answer 2

it depends...but it takes for as long as the source material is plus how complex your menus are...so about an hour and half maybe longer depending on your processor speed

Answer 3

About 2 hours + -
