That is mpeg2 transcoding time. I do "capture" dvb tv or dv, both means 
all the machine has to do is to save the stream to hd, nothing more. 
Both are AFAIK under 10M/s and that even the slowest CPU is able to do. 
If you want to do some real work in capturing you use hardware that 
does the capturing. Of course the 7 fps for mpeg2 encoding is crap 
compared with a 2500+ dual CPU setup that should be a lot faster (even 
a Athlon at the same Ghz as my duron should be a lot faster then my 
duron, because of the bigger L1/L2 Caches) . If you render time is for 
you encoding time, yes its render time. A normal movie needs one night 
to be encoded. Since i don't record each day a movie i want to archive 
and i don't have to sit in front of the machine, i couldn't care less.
