What's your system spec?
It could be related to your burning time!

Nero will tell you its 4x even if it is burning at 1x. my slow speed was down to a crappy Ide bus on an ECS board, changed board and down to 15min a disk. Run Nero speed disk thing to get real drive speeds your system is capable of.
If they did not want films copied they would not make it so easy!!!

My systems specs.
microsoft Windows ME
amd athlon
128 mb ram
sony 16x dvd drive
pioneer 106d dvd burner
*Another thing, how would I link my burner to a different IDE slot? My computer has three, two connected to each other and a third shorter one. I have tried using the shorter one, but it my computer won't boot if I do.

Athlon what?
128mb 133? Sd?
What bus speeds 100 or 133?
I would say 128mb is a bit low and Nero cant buffer at full speed.

Just typed a very long reply to this but it went when I pressed REPLY
so you'll have to do your own research now
summary of possibilities (one or all would be a problem)
Hard drive and burner on same IDE cable
Cable is 40 wire not 80 wire
Drive/s set to PIO mode not DMA mode
To move the drive to another IDE channel look up jumper settings of drives.

If u r doing DVD Reader To DVD Writer your reader may be only reading at 1x/2x/3x so your writer can only record at 1x/2x. Try it from your Harddrive.

OK
I have a little more time now, so here goes
On the back of the drive CD or HD are jumpers (metal sleeves that bridge two pins)
There are three positions to have the jumpers in
Master (MA)
Slave (SL)
Cable select (CS) don?t use this option
If you have two devices on one IDE cable then one must be set to master and one to slave if they are both set to one or the other the neither will work.
On the top face of the drive should be a little diagram telling you where to put the jumper for each setting.
Set your OS hard drive to Master on IDE one.
If you have another HD put it on IDE two as slave.
If you are going to rip to the second HD with the DVD drive then put the DVD on IDE one as slave.
If you also have a CR-RW put it on IDE two as master.
If you have UDMA devices (which your 106 is) you need 80 strand IDE cables to get the most of it.
Your hard drive may well be UDMA as well so you need two 80 strand cables with two connectors on each.
If you have a full sized tower then you probably need extra long ones
Some drives are fussy about which connector they go on (end or middle) so if it doesn?t work and you know you have the jumpers set right then change the drives to the opposite connectors.
Now all these devices need to be told to use DMA mode if they can
This is done in the device manager (from the control panel) open the device manager and go into the IDE channels and look at the advanced settings and set the all to DMA if available. If they are already set to that and yet they say that they are transferring in PIO mode at the moment then you may have to go into the BIOS and change some settings to get them into DMA mode (not going into that here)

malum, koola, nobbi1977, paulchu, Needakip thank you ALL for your patience and very helpful advice.
I switched both my drives to DMA and went out and bought Ritek brand 4x dvd r and now I am able to copy whole dvd's using Nero 6 (get yours free from Kazaa) in 6 minutes or less.
Once again thank you truly for helping a stranger!
P.S.-Does anyone know the best software for dvd movie backups.
