Page 1 of 1hr To Burn A DVD With Nero!! What`s Wrong?????

Hi,

I`m using Nero Express to burn VOB files to DVD-R/DVD+R.

Up until recently it was only taking about 15mins to burn the 4.7gb`s.
Now it takes between 55-60mins to burn the same disks.

I`m using a Liteon DVDRW SOHW 1673s 16x DVD +/- burner with 2.4ghz, 1gb ram and 160gb HDD (40% full).

The strange thing is that the `Buffer level` on the Nero burning screen goes up & down from 99% to 8% and dosen`t stay steady. I`m sure before it stayed at 99%!!!

I have no other applications running while I burn but the CPU usage in the task manager is going up/down 0%-99% also.

Any ideas why this is now happening? And what I can do to speed things up.

Thanks.

Steve.

Just a guess mate but NERO 7 Premium by any chance :(

Nah, I`m using Nero 6 Ultra Edition.

XFG,

Looks abit technical but I`ll have a go, just got to wait for this disk to finish burning and the PC then might return to it`s normal speed. :/

XFG,

These IDE Channels-are they the Hard Drives? As I do have two C & F Drives.
Recently I have started to store my movies on the F drive which as far as I know is the 2nd channel (I installed it about 6 months ago in the spare bay).

I might have to try burning a VOB from my C Drive!!

Steve.

Your F drive could just be the slave on the 1st IDE channel and the DVDRW could be master on the second IDE channel.

Try SJ`s advice on "View by connection" on the second page of my thread to confirm what`s connected to what.

I don`t think it`s the hard drive at fault.

XFG,

Seem to have sorted it. I copied some of the VOB movie files back over to the C drive and burnt them with Nero from the C drive.

This took 15 mins :) :) .

I think the C drive is the Master and the F Drive is the Slave.

Nero must have been going via the C drive to get to the files on the F drive. (so a friend at work says).

Anyway moved all my VOB files over to the C Drive and will use that drive from now on.

Thanks to youu all for your help.

Steve.
