wow, my computer is probably not half as good as yours - Duron 600mhz, 312ram, 19gig HD, Pioneer DVR 104...and 1x takes me just under an hour
Hope you can find a solution:)

Burning a 4.3gig compressed movie to dvd+r takes my 4x around 17 minutes. I use Nero v6. Yer software might have sumthin to do with that, as well as yer burner...altho lotsa folks love the 105's and have no complaints.

hi all
@ mafiaman you got a kick butt system but if you run xp pro that itself will take 256 memory alone! need more ram!
my dvr106d does 4.36 gig in 14 mins!
just a thought? also could be software? how much stuff you got running in background? could take up system resoureces?
try closing all then burn if it works get more ram?
Thx
Nothing here to see, move along folks.

I had the same sort of problem with the same sort of specs (3/4gb ram) and found it was the ide100 bus on my ECS motherboard not feeding the writer fast enough. use Nero to to a drive speed test and see if your results match other 105 users.
If they did not want films copied they would not make it so easy!!!

How do you test if your ide100 bus on your motherboard is slow?
I am starting to think I have the same problem. I have a brand new 106 pioneer, and try burning at 4x, and the best I can get is 41 mins...
I have v6.0.0.0 of Nero!
My first suspect is the drive itself... But unforunatly the previous CD burner i had never seamed to go at full speed either (12-16x max), which makes me think it could be the bus.
How can I test this, and how can it be fixed?
It is still under warrenty so I can get it replaced if I can proove it is faulty!

You can download the VIA utilites pack which gives great IDE monitoring tools etc.
PS, make sure that you have your IDE set as ultra DMA (Mode 2). This will make it very fast if your motherboard supports it.
Good Luck :D

i found out what a stupid mistake i had which fixed my 40 min burn time on my 4x burner with 4x media. i had used the 40 ribbon cable to hook up my burner instead of the one that it came with which was the 80 ribbon. the 40 ribbon cable i used to hook it up with caused the buffer to go from min to max every couple seconds..making the burner write on and off. with the 80 ribbon, it made the buffer stabilize and burner continuously writing..which went from 40 min to the actual and expected write time of 15 minutes.

Horizon1, once I read what you said, I knew there was a very good chance I was having the same problem.
I got my 106 pioneer OEM, so it didn't come with a cable, I used the existing one... The same one I was using for the CD-RW, which was also burning slower than it should... DA DA...
So I had a look, and the cable had only 40 little ripples in it, where the other cable that connected the 2 hard drives had 80 ripples.
Looks like we have a winner for me anyway! I never realised there was 2 different cables that could be used for HD and CD-ROMS on the same technology!
Cool, I'll get a 80 pin cable tommorow and see how I go.
Thanks
EDIT: Now is the next day... Bought a new cable(ata100), and woooosh... away it goes at great speeds. I just simulated 4.23gb burn at 13 mins, yesterday it would have simulated at taking ~38mins...
Thanks again

I have the LG 4040B and I am not able to burn a DVD-R at 4x, The most I get is 2x, which takes 25-30 minutes. I am using princo dvd-r 4x discs...It's not the computer, ram or operating system, b/c I have tried it on 2 different computers, 2 different os's (win 98 and win xp), i also have enabled ultra dma 2 mode 2, and im using 80 pin cable to connect my hdd and dvdrw...anyone have any ideas or advice?
PROBLEM SOLVED, BOUGHT A BETTER PIONEER DVD BURNER, EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE...BURNING IN 10 MINUTES...NOW THAT IS SWEEEEEEEET
