is this too long?

[slydragon]

When Cinema Craft Encoder starts up it say 26+hours till it's done is that way to long? I'am very new at this,I knew it would take long but this long?

Well...
It can be that long.
It all depends mostly on the speed of your processor.
And if you're doing 4-pass VBR - it is possible.
It's 6.5 hours for a 1 pass, so after all, not that bad.
As I sad - it depends on your hardware.
take care
