They do have to render, but it happens at an accelerated rate because of the hardware assist. If you didn't have the codec card & G400 Flex doing much of the work it would take even longer.
Most folks don't master to DV tape but to SVHS which analog and is realtime.
Now for the good news: the render time is getting shorter and shorter with each driver release. If Matrox graces us with a faster display adapter to replace the G400 Flex with you may even get realtime to firewire.
Don't feel too bad. The DVStorm takes 11 seconds to render a lousy dissolve on export with a P4 1.4ghz or 700mhz dual PIII's.
