I used to make lots of DVD's for my ex, and they ALWAYS took me 3 hours. Transcoding is the problem, if I remember correctly - burning did not take too long in comparison, even on my external DVD writer @ 4X. I probably had an awfully fragmented HD, but still I think that transcoding is quite CPU intensive. My PC is a Pentium IV 2.8GHz with 512Mb RAM, btw.
Oh, and speaking of ISOs... if you're not terribly in a hurry, I suggest burning to ISO and then burning to DVD from that. If something goes wrong with the burn and you try to record it again, Nero Vision will re-transcode the bloody thing, wasting some 3 more hours (at least it did that to me every time). Burning to ISO should never cause problems and will leave you with a copy to fall back on if the recording fouls up.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
