Argh

Sometimes I wish there was no such thing as technology. As I sit here, I wait for my latest film to "compress" so I can burn in onto a DVD. I've been trying to get this thing to work for almost 2 hours now, with no luck. Why can't this stuff just work? I really want to go take a shower and get on with my life, but it's very difficult with stuff like this gumming up the works. Argh.
