This is unbelievable. Is anyone else experiencing this? Im using ffmpg decoder/encoder, and afaik the other encoder is just as slow. This is unbearable. Help!
I´ve also got a SSD, i7 and always record the videos in FullHD 60fps.
Rendering a 15 Minutes Video takes about an hour. It makes no difference if I use my private notebook with a dedicated graphic card (Intel HD) or my working notebook with a Nvidia Quadro. As said, both use an i7 and the files were located on the ssd.
Which device creates the 15 Minutes files? The XE or you computer? The XE does it according to your SD card an its filesystem. At a specific filesize, a new fill will be created.

Ive got a dell 6540,
i7-4810MQ 2.8 cpu
samsung msata 850 evo
16gb ram
radeon hd 8790M
I just bought the virb xe the other day,
i thought I could in the following order
1) record video
2) edit video
3) export video
4) if needed use handbrake, then upload to youtube
If I am seeing things split into 15 minte files you are saying the sd card is formated as fat32 or something? I thought I went to the system menu and selected format from within the virb xe. You are saying if I format it ntfs there will be no more 15 minute split files?
1 hour for 15 minutes? I will have about 3 hours of video 6 days a week I need to record and get on youtube. There is no way I could wait 12 hours per day for rendering!!!
Do you think if I dropped it to 720 the quality would be ok for youtube, and processing much faster?
I am trying to find other peoples workflows, but it seems that nobody in the world is using garmin virb and there is so little information :(
right now I am sitting here with 2.5 hour of videos I need to get to youtube and it seems this product is all but unuseable.

Not a solution; but who says you have to sit there watching it process the video? Start the export before you go to sleep. When you wake up, the export will probably be finished.
Just for fun I exported just over 2hrs of video (1080, 30fps) a couple of days ago, I set it going at around 08:00hrs and it hadn't quite finished at 23:30hrs, but it was finished the next morning.
OK so the PC was doing some other quite heavy processing part of the time and it could probably do with updating, but that is quite a long time.
What it's taught me is to edit my clips down as short as possible (cut out all the dead wood).
True, it seems like nobody in the world uses Garmin Virb :D
I have the same problem: it took me around 3 or 4 hours to export a 17 minutes 1080p50 video, which is appalling, considering a friend of mine using the GoPro exports in much less time.
Just for the sake of it, I did some test:
video length and quality: 1'40" 1080p50
To 720p25 medium quality: 6 minutes and the resulting video had choppy audio
To 1080p50 medium quality: it took 7 minutes to get to 40% then I just stopped because couldn't be bothered. That's a whopping 18 minutes to export a friggin' 1'40" video, FFS!
I'm downloading the GoPro software and see how it performs.
That's pretty much the story with video encoding. Generally, you can expect render times to be 4x-5x slower than the actual time of the video (all dependent on your hardware and encoding settings). If you really want the fastest encoding, you'd have to fork out more $$ for a Xeon workstation.
