I tried using it for awhile and gave up after too many frustrations like the one you've encountered. Quite honestly I don't have enough working knowledge of Avid to directly answer your question. My best bet is that there is something you didn't click in your render options... when you preview the thing, do you hear track 1 and 2? If not, then your tracks are turned off.
Why does it take so long to export? What are you exporting exactly? Do you have unecessary effects in your project that aren't turned on (some programs will render effects even though they are not activated) Are you compressing when you export? Frame blending? Could be alot of things you know... I'll need a bit more details to answer that one correctly.
If none of this corresponds to your problem... try the avid forums for help : http://www.avid.com/cgi/forumscgi/ul...i?action=intro

It's a rough edit so the only effects are a few fades and some text.
Avid is pissing me off to no end. The client wanted it in Avid because of the industry standard, but it could have saved them alot of money and had a better product if they stuck with final cut or vegas.
