With your PC specs, I don't think so. But I think you may have set all settings to optimal on this?

Quote: Just wanted to know if 4 hours is a normal length of time for a 55 minute H.264 video to be exported to Bluray disc? Seems like a long time to me, especially with my specs. Thanks for any info!

It does not sound like it should take that long, then on the other hand I do not know what all you have going on in the timeline.

If you computer is having to render everything on the timeline, it might take that long if you have all hardware acceleration turned off.

Mpeg2 Bluray disk is a lot of processing.

If you have selected H.264 for your Bluray Disk, it might not take as long.

I just did a hour and 50 minutes Mpeg-2 Bluray disk folder, I did not time it, but it did take a long time. Pretty sure it was not four hours, maybe a couple of hours. I had hardware acceleration turned off.

Thanks Carl, I'll check the hardware acceleration setting.

Update: FYI- I now believe the export time was very slow because I wrote the file to a BD-RE disc. Apparently, the write process has to do more calculations due to the structure of the rewritable disc. It has to be written over first or reformatted in some way.
