My 16X DVD/RW(dual layer light scribe) in my Compaq Presario SR 1650NX (Athlon 64 3500) burns very slow as compared to my old LG 4X drive. It takes up to 2 hrs to burn a movie to disc on top of the 10 minutes it takes to read from the 24X DVD ROM. I can only find one place where I could set the write speed and it was at "Fastest". Is it possible that the drive is writing at the slowest speed due to software issues? Should I reset the write speed to 16X?

To burn DVD5 movie at 8X takes only 9 minutes max provided your system is at sweet condition - enough disk space & not fragmented. Video & DVD files must not be fragmented - they must reside as a single piece. Fragmented video files takes forever to burn & may caused your system to hang & burning failure. Must defrag your HDD regularly before ripping.

Are your IDE channels set to DMA or PIO mode? (DMA is the mode that you want), this is usually the case with long burn times.
Go into hardware properties, go to IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, & go to Primary & secondary controllers, this is where you will find DMA settings.
DMA must be enabled in the BIOS for all of this to happen. If it is in PIO mode & will not change (a common problem, it defaults to PIO mode if the drive has tripped up in anyway), uninstall the device & re-boot the machine. Windows will detect drive & set it to DMA. (Only if it set in the BIOS that is!)
