Well, when you render to a sequence of frames you can play them back at any frame rate you like. typically 25 frames per second for pal regions 30 for ntsc 24 for film etc. sometime you may need to run it slower for some reason.
so if you want 3 minutes of footage running like "normal" video you will need 5400 frames at 25 FPS. So setting up your render so it renders very fast is going to be necessary 5000 plus frames is alot. you could always render it smaller to speed things up too it depends on what its for.

500/30=16.67

thanx dear,

but i could'nt understand one thing that when i ll increase the frames, how i ll reduce the configuration of rendering, coz when i ll fix low configuration the result ll be damage.

For 500 frames its took about 5 days, when i ll done 5400 frames then...!

how it will render 5400 frames in minimum time of period, can u expalin me...?

thanx

deary me . He means you need more computers to render more frames faster.

you will need to change the way you have your max scene setup so it renders faster.

You can get the scene to render faster while maintaining the quality. it depends on what you are rendering. Theres millions of possibilities. If you want some answers you need to ask detailed questions. describe your scene, have you got lots of geometry? are you using GI. are there lots of lights, are you using raytraced shadows with opacity maps are you rendering very large frames, etc. etc..

you can have a sphere and a box take 3 days to render if you just apply materials with out planning.
