How long it will take to render 1h10min avi file to a DVD ..

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Encoding time is directly related to the speed of your system and the
software being used. On P4 3.0GHz 800MHz systems using Canopus ProCoder the
encode times are around 4 to one and beyond depending on the quality
settings of your encode. Master Quality takes much longer than Highest
Quality which take more time than High Quality, etc.

Single pass encoding takes less time than multi-pass encoding and is
therefore compounded by the quality settings chosen in conjunction to each
selected option. There is no magic bullet formula for encoding times since
everything depends on the final product quality that suits your eyes and
needs.
