im kinda a newbie about burning dvd's, i have burned a data dvd and burned a regular dvd, and both work in my dvd player for my tv, what is the difference between a data or a regular burned dvd? is there any qaulity difference or long run problems of either? which is better? because the data takes about 2 min to finish, and the burn takes about 3 hours to do

a DVD burn that takes 3 hours tells me that your dvd burner is in PIO mode it should be in DMA mode open up device manager and double click on the drive that will tell you if it is in PIO mode if it is deleate your secondary ide controller then reboot your computer and windows will reinstall the controller and the drive will return to DMA mode

open up device manager and scroll down until you find USB Hub double click on it and if you see Enhanced usb 2 you have usb 2 if not you will need to get a usb 2 card for your computer usb 1 is very slow transfering data

i have a brand new sony dvd/cd external rewriteable drive, and i am using verbatim -rw disks, when i download a movie from the internet, i go on Nero 6, go to make dvd, then add files, and add the movie, then when i burn it, it shows the process, and it takes about 3 hours every time, when i just copy a dvd, i use DVD Shrink and it takes about 20 minutes to back up and burn it, but DVD Shrink doesnt work when i download a movie from the internet
