Export rate fine til about 1/2-way, then slows to a crawl/stops

[BillNM]

I am trying to export a 23-minute video.

I'm using an unlinked video track with an unlinked audio track.  The reason I say that is that exporting was working fine for me until I unlinked the audio, did an edit in an external app (express.adobe.com), and then added that edited video back to the timeline.

The export progresses just fine until about a third to half-way done, and then slows to a crawl or even STOPS.

This is an export that shouldtake about an hour - but I let it go overnight and it was onlyat about 50% with zero noticeable additional progress.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the unlinking/editing, but it's the onlychange I made (I think).

Thanks...

Is there no way to EDIT a post? 

Anyway, instead of:

"and then added that edited video back to the timeline."

I meant to say:

and then added that edited AUDIO back to the timeline.
