I'm using Toast on a Powerbook G4 867 w/ 768MB SDRAM and I'm using my brand new Lacie burner to burn a 29 Minute .MOV to DVD.
I burned the DVD using Toast's Video Quality: Best setting but after 3 hours it had only finished 1/4 of the burn so I simply quit opting for the "Standard" setting. Well I'm over an hour into my burn and I'm not even half-way.
Is this the standard? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!

The mov has to be converted to mpeg2 to burn on a DVD. A G4 @ 867MHz will take at least 4x the length of video (1 hour movie will take 4 hours to burn).

So when I buy my next computer - what should I make sure to include so that my burning experience will be much faster?
More Processing Speed?
Thanks -
Burning will be faster if you don't have to encode the DVD first (ie. using MacTheRipper to rip a commercial DVD to the hard drive - then burning with Toast to make a backup - should take 6 min to burn if your LaCie is a 16x DVD-R drive).

yea.... I downloaded that today... Problem is - I had to rip a dvd to my hd in quicktime format. Then I chopped out portions of footage from the .mov file. Then I placed them together using IMovie. Now I'm burning back to DVD... All of this is something for work... they bought me a dvd burner though so it's all good..
Can I edit Mpeg2 data once it's in my comp? (i.e. cut, paste, trim etc...)
