The answer depends on too many parameters.

Almost by definition, an truly uncompressed video is not encoded, it's 
just writing to the output the data that are in memory (well, almost... 
there's still possibly the conversion of the pixel format, from RGB to 
YUV420 for instance, but this is quite fast). What will limit the speed 
is the read/write performances on the disk you are using, and/or the 
time needed to decode the input video.
