You trying to tell us Windows ran for three straight days doing
something and didn't crash? Wow, new world's record maybe!
Why? Can't say without details.
What type of file was the source?
Was it transcoded? You used mixed file types on the timeline?
Did you first edit it?
Apply filters?
Change frame size, frame rate, etc..
Any of the above could be the reason, along with about 100 others. No,
it shouldn't take THAT long, not with decent software and a fairly
fast computer.
Since I've made oh, hundreds, (not with what you're using) still a
factor of anywhere from 3 to 1 to 10 to 1 is in the ballpark,
depending on how much the source file(s) gets changed. So it normally
should take about maybe 3-4 hours to "burn" a full DVD on up to 12-14
hours. Three days? Well, you got patience anyway.
So-called "burning" is only the final phase. Unless you started with a
MPEG-2 as a source file then whatever you expected to get put on the
DVD it had to be likely transcoded, then processed meaning DVD
readable image files created etc..
