Why Video Encoding Takes Time

Encoding for VCD, SVCD or DVD can be time consuming. Video files are very large and need to be compressed (encoded) to fit on a CD or DVD. It can take up to several minutes for each minute of video.

Can I continue to work while Toast encodes video?

You can continue to do work, but it will lengthen the encoding time.
