Why does rendering in DaVinci Resolve take so much time?

[rene_cut]

Hello,

I have a 20 minute video. There is only a photo and music in it, nothing else. No moving picture, no effects. If I render that with Youtube setting 1920x1080 or with H.264 Quality Medium it takes forever. If I understand the render time correctly 2 days, 19h, 58 min. that can't be right or?

• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz
• 16,0 GB RAM
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 710, 2.0 GB Memory
• Windows 10
• Free Version of DaVinci Resolve 18

Is the option "Encoder" in the export video settings only available in the Pro version?

What else could be the reason that it takes so long?

Best regards,
