AVI is NOT a compatable DVD file format. So the file is getting
transcoded first. That's a big extra step. What options if any does
your camcorder have as far as exporting?
Regardless rendering (encoding) is a time consuming task. If you're
inporting 2 90 minute raw movies and only did mimimal editing and the
camcorder outputs to a compressed avi format then 15 hours isn't that
bad a time.
