Help! DVDs burning 3x slower today than yesterday!

I have been using a Pentium D dual processor computer with an NEC drive to burn DVDs. I burn a LOT of DVD master copies every week and then switch to my duplicators. I am burning on 16x Taiyo Yuden at 4x. This used to take approximately 11 mins. Or it did 2 days ago.

Now it is constantly taking over 30mins and I have no idea why. Just overnight it suddenly slowed down a lot. This also happened with my other computer, just suddenly became VERY slow, VERY quickly.
Even more concerningly it's rarely burning "cleanly" - often causes a flicker or some slight defect when burning. Previously I had burnt over 100 disks quickly with no problems.

I didn't install any new programs, new drivers or anything else. Firefox updated itself but I can't see how that could possibly be relevent. The computer has 2 x 2.66 processors, 1gig of RAM.

It seems the buffering of Data is much slower. Please help, why might this be happening! I am using Nero to burn.

As per gwendolin's advice - check DMA settings.

Also ensure that you are using quality media for recording - e.g. Verbatim, TY's etc. and not burn too fast.

Your specs seem OK - looks like a DMA problem or virus/spyware for sudden change in patterns.
