Quicktime Conversion Export Takes Abnormally Long

Hi, My scratch disk is an external hard drive (just powered by USB not outlet) and my QuickTime conversion exports always take nearly an hour, even if it is a short video. However I do have an AVCHD camera. What is the cause for this? It is really annoying.

iMac Intel 1.83 GHz, Macbook (Aluminum) 2.0 GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

Apple does not support the use of USB drives with video applications.
