Are the 3 fire wire disks daisy chained? Fire wire disks are not very fast to begin with, but if they are daisy chained you reduce the transfer rate even further. However, normally they should be fast enough to handle ordinary DV streams. Does rendering the time line help?
Since your system is quite up to date, I would suggest you add an internal SATA disk. It is at least two times and possibly three times faster than the external ones.

and your disk setup?

17 GB of MS-DV AVI type2 footage is around 80 minutes, not 3 hours. What codec is used if it is 3 hours?
If you have Encore, export to movie, import the movie into Encore and have Encore do the transcoding. Otherwise use a bitrate calculator to find optimal settings for the transcoding to MPEG2-DVD.

What is the source material (DV or HDV) and what is your disk setup?

My first try would be to open a new 16×9 project, import the existing project and remove the scaling, leaving the rest of the editing intact. That would give you maximum quality with limited effort.

Use MS-DV AVI type 2 or use another application. PP does not like DivX, XVid, and the like which are not suitable for editing.

Mike,
First I made a type in my post. It should have been a DV camera.
Second, he ripped a DVD, tried converting with DivX and Cinepac. Hence my comments, which were already answered on another forum.

Your source is not suited for editing and you use the wrong codecs. Try to record the source to a SV camera, capture from there using MS-DV AVI type 2.

Neither would mine. It would probably lead to either divorce or bankruptcy. LOL
As we say here in the Netherlands: Ik heb niets te kiezen, dat bepaalt de directrice.
Or in English (free translation): I have to abide, to what the Director will decide.

If you add the system to drive it, add another $ 80K plus or minus.
