You might not have to watch a 27-minute video, but you should read the manual.
Here's some questions: Which hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, disk I/O speed)? What specific version of Resolve? What OS? What source material? What timeline resolution? What framerate? How does your drive rate with Blackmagic Speed Test? Which GPU drivers are installed? What format are you trying to render to?
Note that MP4 is only a container, not a codec. Assuming it's H.264, note that this can be very resource-intensive to work with in post, because it's a highly-compressed format.
