Ouch, 4 hours is a long time. I would think anything current wouldn't take that long.

Can you tell us more about your system? What type of hardware, ram, OS, etc. etc.

A 700MB file took 8 hours to convert

I'm not familiar with Toast 7, having only used 6 myself. There must be another solution available for the mac platform. Sorry, I don't know of another utility that you could try.
