60 minutes to capture, then whatever time it takes to edit.
Whats the approx.time it take to render?
Then after the render, How long does it take to prepare, render and then burn?
Has anyone ever figured this out approx.
Thanks

It all depends on what you want to do, how fast your computer is, programs in the background, amount of memory (to a point), type of CPU (AMD, p4, etc). If you give us more info we could give you a better estimate (but better is a relative term).

You are going to burn a DVD?

If you rendering out to avi, only the transitions and the music will have to be re-rendering. The audio will probably be neglible, since it's on a different thread than the video. The part of the timeline that has no transitions is just a bit for bit copy of the DV file.

Rendering to mpeg will take some time. Mpeg is slow.
Once you have the mpeg you can burn.

If you are doing a lot transitions and effect, it will be quicker to render to avi. And when you have a complete avi, use that file to render to mpeg, then burn.

You didn't say the file type you're rendering too (or how long) but I have an AMD xp 1800 with 512mb DDR. I can render stuff simular to what you got in a little over real time (source DV AVI and destination DV AVI). With mpeg 2 (6mbs) it usually takes me 1.5x movie length to do it. So you should get around there (well, better. You've got a faster CPU)

Why don't you take a short cut of your movie and try? Use a RW for burning the trial, then try it out on your standalone DVD-player. Nobody else can do this for you. Why wait for an answer when you can find it yourself?
