SNOWWHITESICKETTE I've never needed seven hours to remaster with this software, but I guess the size of the movie might require so much time. I've used this to remaster several movies, and it took anywhere from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours, using a G4 iMac (1 GH, 1 GB, 80 GB), which qualifies as "underpowered." (I wish Apple would update the firmware to hold more RAM!) The movies were from 4.5 - 9.6 GB in size, and I shrank all of them- full remastering. Using 10.5.8, all current updates. Couple of suggestions- have you run Disk Utility lately, to check the disk directory and to repair permissions? Is your hard drive relatively full? If the drive is okay and has at least twice the space of the file needing remastering, seven hours does seem long to me...
