What speed media and what burn speed are you using? Is your DMA on? You can check this thread out if you have a question about your DMA (guide created by Alkohal)
What are you burning from? If you're burning from an AVI file and using Vision to transcode, that's to be expected. If you're using Recode or burning from an ISO image, then it's a problem.
If you post a burn log, we can see if you are having major issues. As stated by arossetti when vison does the transcoding, it takes forever. I gave up on Nero for that and use another program to convert AVIs to VOBs. Im at work, so i cant remember the program name.
Here is where your log files hide:
Nero 6 history log location: Program Files>Ahead>Nero>NeroHistory.txt
Nero 7 history log location: Program Files>Nero>Nero 7>Core>NeroHistory.txt
These things record all burns, and we only need the last one. The burns are seperated by something like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
====== *** NeroAPI, History File *** ======
Windows XP 5.1
IA32-xxxx-xxxx-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
that was from a Nero 6 log, but 7 looks much like that. Underneath the divider is the operating system, and right below that is the begining of the serial number. When posting a log, just include the last burn log, and be sure to edit out your serial numbers by typing xxxx over them, or deleting them before posting to the forum.
Many thanks Maxburn, my DMA were off and I have followed the thread to reinstate them.
I am still having other issues as I have described in my new thread "Nero will not insert .AVI download"

The DMA getting knocked down to PIO is one of the major culprets when the burn takes too long. You can get that from getting too many CRC read errors. Windows figures you cant handle the data, and slows everything down to a snails pace, and doesnt bother to tell you that either. Glad you found it and fixed it. Now i myself have had problems with Nero vision trying to convert files, so i gave up on it, and use another program to do the conversions. Then i plug those files into vision and everything works fine. The other program i use is:
Advanced X Video Converter. That is the way i do anything involving non-standard DVD files, like AVI, MPG2, etc..
Here it is just in case anyone wants to try it. It has a free trial period. I bought it, so im gonna use it.
http://www.aoamedia.com/download.htm That method always works for me, and i usually stick with things that work, or find work-arounds. The rest of Nero works fine, its just the different file formats and conversions causes failures for Vision unless i do it my way. I havent even checked out my own failed burn log. LOL. :)
