Importing is done in real time; so 2 hours of footage per cam x the number of cams
Converting - depends on the import/recording format: a little faster than realtime when needed.
Synchronizing audio and video tracks: as long as all of the various data sources recorded at the same speed, this can be done quite quickly... usually less than an hour. When there are varied recording speeds, the time required grows exponentially!
Editing - I allow about 45 minutes per song as a rule, but that is often wishful thinking.
Creation of the DVD screens, layout of the disc contents, etc... 2 hours.
Compressing, encoding, burning, ripping: 6 hours at least.
So a 3 angle DVD like Fort York required approximately 30 hours of work. And this assumes that I can just sit down and get into it - which is rarely, if ever, the reality.
I don't have to sit at the computer to do all of this, but it does require attention, and full use of my computer - so I can't do other work while this is being done.
