Is this normal?

I'm using Power Director 9 and have just spend a couple af days to make a movie. Everything went fine.
It was recorded in MOV. Full HD. and I wanted to make a DVD in AVCHD.
The movie had a lenght of 45 min. and a size of 6,8 gb.
It came out in fine quality, but it took about 9 Hours???

In the userguide it's said that it just takes a "few Minutes"???
And I did not even make a folder.

My computer runs Windows 7 and use 64bit.
Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300 2.60GHz

Sorry about my poore english.
Michael.

On a dual-core PC several hours for a HD-AVC 45 minute movie is not out of line, especially if there are affects added. PD9 has to also fully re-render ALL of the MOV videos to AVCHD format, which is very PC intensive. ALL aspects of your PC become important with AVC rendering. I suggest you PRODUCE your video first, prior to burning to DVD. It won't shorten the time much but it will afford you the ability to audit your project before it's burned to DVD. Win 10, i7

More CPU, GPU, and RAM make it faster!

Thank You for the answers.
In the future I will make the computer work in the nighttime. (or maybe buy a stronger one)
And HDedit You are quit right, I did ad a lot of "stabilizer" to the movie because most of the original video was handhold and quit shaken.
I was just confused after reading the manual where it was written, that it just takes "a few Minutes".
Thanks again.
