Depends on a lot of factors.
If you look under Premiere Elements' Edit menu, what is listed on the General page under Project Settings? The more closely these settings match the specs of your video, the more efficient the program will perform.
How many adjustments and effects have you added? The more you add, the longer it takes to process the video.
There are also factors like the speed of your processor, of course, to consider.\
Professionals normally don't work on projects that long as one continuous edit. I usually work on my movies in 10-minute segments, output each segment and then combine the finished pieces into a final mix of my project.
So I've never experienced a transcoding time like 10 hours -- but I suppose if there are enough effects, adjustments, etc., at work, it could take a while. Have you let it run overnight to see if it churns out a good output?
