If you're using the more current OSX, Quicktime Player has a built in utility to record your screen (screencast). Or you should be able to download it for free (I think) as well. I think only the new QTP (dark blue logo) has this function. Not sure how long it takes to encode the video though. Once you click the red button, you have the option to record the entire screen, or drag the area (your canvas) you want to record. This could help reduce file size -> encoding time drastically.

If QTP turns out to also take time to encode, I suggest breaking your painting session into maybe 15 minutes. Stop/pause so QTP can encode in the background while you start a new recording session. When it comes to video encoding, it all comes down if your computer has the necessary hardware to handle it. I believe any software will take time to encode the longer you record, especially if you want it to be high quality.

Remember that any app that records your screen on iPad would almost certainly record it at a lower resolution (hence the shorter wait time).
