i have a Plextor 760-A internal DVD burner. i've been using DVD Decrypter to burn video DVDs for a couple weeks now. burning +R DL discs is relatively slow, maxing out at 4x.

all of a sudden, the burning is going at about a 0.5x clip! i haven't changed any settings or the brand of media that i've been buring with all along.

is there any explanation why? or should i just expect it to burn at normal 4x speed again next time? the computer had no other processes going on, and was running on a fresh reboot. any help out there?

**********************************
EDIT: it is also burning at this SLOW speed on a regular DVD-R disc! what gives?!

Sudden slowdowns of your burner can sometimes happen if it falls out of DMA mode and goes back to PIO mode. This link shows you how to check it:

thanks for the help and the link! i happened to check that out earlier, and although "DMA if available" was selected, its transfer mode still showed "PIO only." now, it has reverted back to "Ultra DMA Mode 5" transfer mode. hopefully it will be back to its old self!

thanks again for the info...it's in my bank of knowledge.
