Slow burner speeds?!
Using a 16x DVD DL burner and it literally takes over 20 minutes to burn a full length DVD at 16x. I have the same burner, in a different machine and the average time for the same DVD takes around 5 or 6 minutes. System specs are the same for both machines - any ideas?
Looked in the burner's software settings and there isn't anything there to change any settings that may pertain to this. |

Start closing out background programs and processes and see if it makes any difference.
Something else might be sucking up your cpu cycles.

Are your IDE controllers running in DMA mode? Is the burner on the same IDE cable as the source files?

Pam, I will do what you suggested and try that....
glc, burning programs from hard drive which is on a different IDE channel, but I haven't checked my IDE controller settings in Device Manager yet. I will do that and see what happens.... Thanks for both suggestions! I'll give it a shot! |

whats your system specs....
Sometimes if you have a nVidia chipset...and install the nVidia IDE driver it accounts for slow performance on the IDE channels... EDIT...test you hard drive performance with HD-Tach... what is you average read times...

Are the IDE settings supposed to be for DMA? I am at work now, so I will have to try all of this in a little while. I'll let you all know what the culprit is.
Max, I'll have to let you know what chipset I am using there - I don't know off of the top of my head right now.

Yes, you want DMA for all drives.
