Burning MP4 video with Nero Vision ( latest ) into a DVD taking over 6 hrs.

[mnsweeps]

I dont know if I am doing something wrong. I have a 800MB MP4 file and the encoded video is about 4.5gb. Nero is taking over 6 hrs to burn onto a DVD using a burner at 24x max speed. Does it take this long? I am new to this..

As you've not disclosed one cruicial piece of information - how long is the video? - It's impossible to answer, but:
Making the assumption that it's a std movie length (1.5-2 hrs), 6 hours doesn't sound odd at all for a 1.6 GHz machine.

sorry the input MP4 file size is around 800 mb. The encoded file came to around 4.5gb.

Source file size is irrelevant. Length in time is what counts when converting between formats (which is really what Nero's up to, at least 5.45 of your 6 hours - not burning).

Yeah I have a pretty fast setup, but when burning something into an mp4 format it took at least as long as the DVD was. So 3 hour movie took 3 hours to convert.
