Greetings,

I've got some content (mostly archived) that I own the copyright to and I've slowly been adding this content onto YouTube. All of the content is on DVD.

I'm on a Dual 2.3 G5 Tower w/ 3GB DDR.

My content are on DVD's with content that isn't mine and what I've been doing is ripping the DVD with handbrake. I then open the ripped file in quicktime and trim out the selection of my content. These first 2 steps don't take long at all - BUT after I have trimmed my selection in quicktime when I go to export it takes forever. My original mp4's are about 20-30 min and "my content" is about 3-4 minutes of this so when I "export" my content it takes about an hour to essentially just save 3 minutes of what was once a 30 minute video.

Is there a quicker way?

The original handbrake rip doesn't take more than 7-8 minutes so why in the world is trimming it down and saving the clip taking so long?

Thanks
