I captured a 3 hour PAL video tape. This ended up being 36 GB on the Hard Drive. When I tried to export to DVD (encoding VBR - approx. 3.8 GB) it literally took all day to burn to DVD.

Should it really take this long to transcode and burn? Is this normal or is there something wrong?

768 Mb PC3200 ram
Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 (updated to 1.5.1)
120 GB SATA Drive for capture
