FCP taking forever to reneder
Is there any reason final cut pro would take 14 hours to render a 14 min imported avi file?

If you're using a PowerBook, I can believe it.

I'm still trying to figure out if you're a girl posing as Macboy4139, or a boy posing as a girl, and a bit confused sexually. <shrug> laughinol

It may take longer depending on your OS version, FCP version, memory, hard drive(s) and especially your processor. I've done rendering on an older G3 with FCP 2...it took three days to export 45 minutes of footage.
Lets just say i am a big fan of multi-core processing nowadays.

Try exporting from FCPro as a ref movie and then opening in Quicktime Player Pro and try the same export. I have found FCPro seems to have some issues that QT Player Pro doesn't when it comes to exporting.

If you ever use a format that isn't set for your FCP timeline, you'll have to render. It's best to use QuickTime Pro or Compressor to turn the AVI file into your desired format before you import it into Final Cut Pro. Then in FCP, you can play and edit it in real time.
