I was reading through some of these threads but i couldnt see anything about burning dvds for a long time, except one thread but no information in it, im currently burning 40 days and 40 nights, i started at exactly 1:12pm and right now it is 4:05pm, and the movie is still not finished burning, im running windows xp pro, 2.4ghz, 512 mb of ram, i burned about 9 dvd's so far since i got my burner and they've all taken about 1 1/2 hrs + to burn, and information to the cause of this would be greatfly appriciated, thanx again

Is your burner in DMA mode? Sounds like its not. If you check your drive settings and they are not DMA enabled this could cause a time problem.
Check this site out to get step by step instructions to do this

It shouldn't take that long to burn a dvd. Are you burning from a original DVD disc or a downloaded movie?

im using a DVD-R 4.7gb/16x dvd disk, when ever i use Nero, i go on to burn disk, first it tells me """your project currently exceeds the capacity of a normal dvd, but still fits onto a DVD-9 disc. you need a DVD-9 media to record your project on. Do you want to have the project quality reduced automatically so that your project will fit into the available space/ if you click no, the project size will be expanded to dvd-9"""" than i click on yes and it tells me """"the project quality was automatically reduced to long play (3382kbps)., and after i click on OK, the space used is 3.43 out of 4.38gb? so i dont understand y i get those pop ups telling me the same thing each time i try to burn a dvd

Sometimes, Windows will report that it is in DMA mode when in fact it's PIO. I've had this happen to me. It's best to go through the removal procedure, just to be sure. :)
You can alway check your burn logs to make sure. (If it's reported in the log as Nero does)

By any chance...is your movie saved on an external HD or any other device connected by a USB? If so your USB connection may be causing this to take so long.

I think you are transcoding and then burning to your dvd disc. What is the file extension for your downloaded movie? Transcoding an AVI movie takes about 3 hours.

I believe you have downloaded an AVI file. In order to burn to a dvd format, Nero converts or trancode the AVI file. Then you can burn onto a dvd and watch it on your stand alone dvd player.

unless you want to go out and buy the original from Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. Like I said, it takes me about 3 hours to transcode and I have similar specs as you.

alright thank you all for all the help, my other question is and this maybe the wrong place to post this but is there anything possible to be done about copying original dvd's to a blank dvd using Nero or anyother software, i read that they have codes or something like that that wont let Nero copy by its self, so my question is, is there a software out there to break those codes and allow us to burn the original dvd?

PAL and NTSC have nothing to do with burn times or quality of the movie. They are specs for where you live and what your player is set for (some players will play both). NTSC is North America and Japan. PAL is the rest of the world.
You are experiencing long times due to the trasncoding NOT the burn. The AVI that you download has to be converted to a format that your DVD player will understand. That is what is taking the time. Not the actual burn process of the disc. You could shorten your time spent by using a different convertor to transcode the movie.

I would like to know as well. I have used WinAVI, new and old versions, and the dvd was choppy, audio was off...etc. I'm burning/transcoding some home video from .AVI now with Nero, and am interested in seeing the results. 3/4/5 hours isn't a big deal to me, just 'set it and forget it'. I have a laptop and wireless, so when my desktop is hammering on the dvd, I can play on the laptop in my living room....

Didn't work for me. Some reason, my DVD-R (Fuji, 4.7) aren't working with Nero only when I try to encode/convert from AVI....
