My current setup is

i7 4770k 3.5GHz
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB (Which I am rendering to)
8GB DDR3 Ram

I'm trying to render a 2 minute video with these settings
1920 x 1080, .mp4
The After Effects preset is "YouTube HD 1080p 29.97 fps

The footage used and the project files are on my HDD, but I am rendering the video (Using Adobe Media Encoder to my SSD and it's taking over 5 hours. There has to be something wrong here, right?

Thanks
