Me and my friend have the same version of Nero. I think its like 7 or something. We both burn same video on dvd but his burns in about 20 minutes while mine takes 3 hours or however longs the movie is because its real time or something.

His processer is intel pentium 4 hyper threading, 2.6ghz and mine is intel pentium 4 2.22ghz. We have the same speed dvd writer, 16x and same dvds 8x. He wouldnt believe me so we used the same video and software and dvd's to test.

The movie was a 2.5 hour movie. His burnt in 20-30 min and mine in about 3 hours.

Is it the processer which makes the speed really different or is it the software ( even though we had the same)?

I think you're most likely doing things differently.

First, run Nero's Infotool. It'll tell you if your drive is in DMA mode. It should be.

Otherwise, I suspect you are re-encoding. Let me know what it is you're trying to burn and I can help.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

I ran neros info tool. It says my read and write speeds are 48x and my friends is the same. How come on the box of my DVD-RW drive it says 16x tho? anyways we bothed tried many times, first with DivX AVI and XviD (mostly) and we got same results. His were 20-30 minutes and mine was 3 hours. It was the same movie (XviD) and he didnt have to go thru a long process.

BTW it says DMA is on for all my drives (HDD and DVDRW)

When you burn, do you burn at max speed? Try burning a DVD at 8x speed and see if your machine can maintain about 8x (BTW, you really want to burn most DVDs no faster or slower than 4x, regardless of the speed rating of the drive or discs). If so it's not your hardware, it's your encoding. I know you said you did a test but try again. Maybe have him give you step-by-step instructions. a 30-minute encode of a DivX of 2 hours is pretty hard to believe. Maybe he's just burning it to disc as a DivX rather than encoding to DVD.
