The problem with video: Slow

I just filmed a clip that I was planning on getting out today... except it's not going to be done today.The shoot is complete of course. It's been edited for a while now. The biggest issue with all this is simply the amount of time I need to process and render the resulting product. Given that I have a nearly three-year-old machine I can't render in real-time... a minute of video takes around a minute and a half to process.Then I need to upload it which takes another minute or so. Then Google has to go and process it itself before it's ready to actually watch.Given everything working as optimally as possible to get one minute of video on the internet is around a five-minute process.
