It all depends on your machine, you basicly put the conversion process through your sound card, video and cpu; frame by frame. So, if you have any bottle neck in your machine it will take a while. On a 566 cel, with the video; it would be about ten hours all together. So, if there is a bottle neck somewhere twenty hours is not hard to believe. I make half while I sleep and the other half the next day. Also, check the amout of ram and system resources you have availible. use the task manager to turn off items that are not needed during this process. IE nortons or Macfee... Good luck.
