How fast is your PC....! It's not a question that is answerable given the
information you did. Depends entirely on the speed of your CPU, amount of
RAM, amount of free space on the hard drive(s), the complexity of the movie
and how much 'extra' data processing you are asking your PC to do at the
same time.
It's a bit last asking how fast you could run to the nearest 7-11 store.
I'd need to know you 'normal' running speed, general
environment/weather/humidity of the day, your level of fitness etc.
