hi Tia,
well, first thing that comes to mind is the FIRMWARE for your particular drive, is it up to date? if you update your firmware, you MIGHT be able to burn them faster, however, poor quality media will sometimes NOT allow you to burn faster even with a good dvd burner~ :)
go here to check for the latest update on your particular drive:
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1837
most likely 2.18 is the one you need to download and install~ :)
good luck, sorry, i don't have any experience w/ datawrite, but from what i can gather, they're not very good discs
Datawrite Classic Yellow DVD+R 4.7GB PRODISC.R03 8x (i had a small debate with another member concerning the quality of Prodisc manufactured media, he has had good success, but I for one have NOT had success with Prodisc, hence my recommendation NOT to use them, personal opinion of course)
Datawrite Titanium DVD-R 4.7GB CMC MAG. AE1 8x (definitely STAY AWAY from these...the CMC MAG manufactured discs are CRAP~)
Datawrite Titanium DVD+R 4.7GB PRODISC.R03 8x (same comment as above about MY opinion of Prodisc)
Datawrite Yellow DVD-R 4.7GB CMC MAG. AE1 8x (same comment above again, regarding CMC MAG discs)
Datawrite Yellow DVD-R 4.7GB TTG02....... 8x (and finally, i DESPISE TTG02 discs THE MOST, these are TDK's own manufactured discs and i have had ZERO success with them on 6 different burners, i would take the CMC MAG crap over these PERSONALLY)
there ya have it, it might be a GOOD IDEA for you to change to better media and definitely update your firmware~
let me know how it works out for you~ good luck~
docTY~

Tip #1: Enable DMA
DMA transfer is an option in modern drives which is an improved transfer method over PIO. With this enabled on both your hard drive and DVD-ROM drive, DVD ripping speeds can be significantly improved.
Steps to enable DMA (Windows XP)
Right click on 'My Computer' on your desktop and select 'Properties'. Click the 'Hardware' tab and launch the 'Device Manager'. Press the '+' sign to expand the trees of both 'DVD/CD-ROM Drives' and 'IDE Controllers'. Double click your DVD-ROM drive, click the Advanced Settings tab and change the transfer mode to DMA if available. Repeat this step for the IDE channel which your hard drive is on.
Tip #2: Update Firmware
Some DVD-ROM manufacturers purposely limit the DVD ripping speed of ther drives to try and prevent customers from making copies of retail DVDs. Normally, the limitation can be bypassed by flashing your DVD-ROM drive with an updated or hacked firmware (which also may allow you to make your DVD-ROM drive region-free).
Warning: Flashing your device's firmware can result in permenant damage of your DVD-ROM drive. DO NOT undertake this step if you are uncomfortable with the risk! You have been warned!
Tip #3: Re-install IDE Controller
Many people have reported that re-installing their primary IDE controller gave them a boost in ripping speed.
Steps to re-install Primary IDE Controller (Windows XP)
Right click on 'My Computer' on your desktop and select Properties. Click the Hardware tab and launch the Device Manager. Press the + sign to expand the tree of 'IDE Controllers'. Right click your Primary IDE Controller and select Uninstall. Now re-boot your computer, and Windows should automatically re-install your IDE Controller
Tip #4: Install Latest ASPI Layers
This is a fairly gray area as some people have mentioned that they see a performance increase in ripping speed when ASPI layers are installed, while others have said the opposite.

Do you have hacked firmware in your drive now. Try using the .cvt firmware with a different flasher.

glad you got it sorted out, now that you got 1.7 working and flashed properly, have you tried flashing AGAIN with the 1.8 now that your drive has the 1.7? SOMETIMES, a few drives need to be incrementally flashed from firmware to firmware, can't skip like 5 revisions and go to the latest one~ :)
obviously, this COULD pertain to you IF you had a really old firmware, if you do it firmware by firmware, it MIGHT just work out~ but, hey, why fix something that NOW works right? just a suggestion, if you are happy w/ the 8x speed now, it's all good... :)
