Wow! That's why I love BetaOne! Everyone is so helpful. I'll try these fixes and let ya all know if it works. Thanx again all!

Well, that worked perfectly! Were back to burning DVDs in 14 minutes. Thanks again for everyone's help.:D

Thanks Vinnie
My Favorite program burn DVD is "Super DVD Copy" and "Ashampoo Burning Studio 5" and NOW "CloneCD 5.0.4.2"
Yes , CloneCD 5.0.4.2

Thanks for asking this question, I was wondering why my dvd @ 1x took 90 minutes to burn. I'm at work now, so I will have to wait till I get home to check the PIO and DMA settings.

Thanks,
PCTech:p

Actualy 90 mins at 1X sounds about right , I usually take just over 20 with my 4X burners.

With DMA on and @ 1X speed,it should be between 55-60 minutes maximum...

@Vinnie - Nice record keeping, I'm impressed. :cool:

I bet your HD is so nice & neat. :thumbsup:

Edit - This is a very good thread and I feel it should also be under Hardware Support so I've moved it but left a redirect in the Software Support section.

Roadworker has it right.
According to my calculations a DVD will burn 1360 kb/s at 1x. At that rate a full DVD, 4.7 Gb will take 60.39 minutes.

Thanks, I had enough trouble trying to get mine working right that I made it a point to keep the info at hand.
:D

Or even less,since a dvd can only hold 4.37 gb.......;) .......that 4.7 gb is a marketing trick,the manufacturers use another counting system than the binary one to count their bits...:)
