Hello,

This is definitely not unheard of. It depends on many factors, including elements in your video, your computing power, burning speed, and more.

You didn't provide any details, so best answer we can provide at this point.

Cheers

It is good to understand WHAT is taking so long? The " burning" of a disk consists of 2 (main) parts)
1) the creation of the files for the disk, this involves rendering into the right format (that is accepted by disk equipment). This rendering will happen either because the format of one or more files you want to put on disk is not of the right format, and/or because the total size of the files is too large to be contained on the disk (adheres to the fit to disk option). This part 1 can take a lot of time, depending on the work that has to be done and the amount of video files involved.
2) the other part of the burning is the actual burning... the prepared files will be written on the disk. The duration of this part depends on the size of the files to be written, the size of the disk (you say Blu-ray, so 25gb or 50gb or even larger), and... the speed of writing, which speed depends on the type of disk used and the speed of your disk burning device and the performance of your system. I would say that if this second part takes longer than say 30-45 minutes (full disk), something is wrong there.

But let us know which of the parts take so long?

When I have to make a disk, I usually use PD to prepare the files, and use different burning software.
