i use nero smart to burn my dvds. but it takes about a hour an a half to burn 1 dvd. i burn all my dvds at 16x so i dont know what the problem is. so can any1 help me please!!!
Hi EDDIE1652,
Welcome to Afterdawn!
An hour and a half is too long, Obviously you are not burning at 16X which is just 4 or 5 minutes. I would suggest though that you set the burn speed slower than that.
A good rule of thumb is to set the burn speed to no faster than 1/2 the speed listed on the media. I burn at 4X using Taiyo Yuden 8X -R media.
There are quite a few things that can cause this so if you could post a Nero log file that would help. Nero saves a log file after every burn.
If you are using Nero 6 look in
C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\NeroHistory.log
If you are using Nero 7 look in
C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\NeroHistory.log
What we wil be looking for here is Firmware Version for your burner, DMA enabled or not, media brand and type, conflicting drivers, and anything else that looks odd.
FYI the start of a Nero log looks similar to this:
1C82-your-Nero-seri-al n-umbe-erA8 <<<Leave out your S/N
Windows XP 5.1
IA32
