dvd copying speed probs.
 

Okay, awhile back i formated, no drives changed nothing...

well, I can't even get it to copy as fast as it used to, a dvd to dvd would take about 8-10 mins, now its taking 16 mins.. wth, i dunno whut to do! I'm getting really mad now

thx

Is DMA mode set on all optical drives?
Sounds like you used to burn 8x, but now only get 4x.

Yes, I looked at that... at one tme before, it did switch to PIO, but I changed it back.. Now, still no differ..

Maybe it's the media? The software?

Same spindle of media before formating, only thing changed was a format.. same program, alcohol 120%

Have you tried blowing out the DVD burner with compressed air? This was happening to me until just a little while ago I decided to blow out the burner with compressed air. I went back to high speed burning right away.

yeah, i saw ur post about that.. this was a new dvd drive tho actually
