C'mon, we need more info. Which computer are you using? Exact model and specs of the optical drive?
What type of media are you using, burning speed capabilities and all?

Are you burning it as a video DVD or as a data CD?
Because if you're burning a DivX movie as a video DVD, Toast first has to transcode it into DVD video format (MPEG-2), which takes quite a while on a Core 2 Duo Intel machine, but is PAINFULLY slow on a single 1.66 GHz G4 iMac.
Toast actually tells you it's doing this. It will first say "Encoding video", then "burning disk", and then "verifying disk".
The burning and verifying should be normal speed, i.e. fairly fast.

OK man, so should I abort the current burning and make these changes?
thank you. (I'm burning a Divx movie as a video DVD...)

Well, if you burn it as a data DVD, it won't play in a regular DVD player (unless it can play DivX films - my cheapo DVD player can, for example).

The "Encoding video" step takes hours. and I mean hours...
ok look..
I think we didn't understand each other.
in the main window of toast, I chose "VIDEO". In "VIDEO" I chose "Divx disc".
Then I pressed "record disc" (red colour).
and then is my problem...

Yep. It will work, but as I said...it's painfully slow. Transcoding video is heavy work.
The Intel-based dual-core machines are *vastly* faster at this kind of stuff.

So the only thing I have to do is to wait...
Ok! Thank you very much you're really nice...!!
Now it's night in here, so I'm gonna leave this at burning until the morning.

Poster said he's using a 1.66 mini. That's an "Intel-based dual-core machine".

Oh whoops, you're right.
Brain fart.
Um...well, transcoding video is heavy work, still.
