3] Bought a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-108 dual layer burner

4] Using toast 6 plug and burn

First off the encoding took about 56 hours which just about drove me nuts then the actual burning of the 40min 57sec movie took 38 minutes.

The G3 iMac will take ages as it doesn't have Altivec (part of G4's and G5 processors that makes image processing and other operations much faster).

What sort of DVD discs were you using? DVD-R? Dual layer disks probably won't play on household DVD players.

Have fun,
Shay
