Writing to DVD takes excessive amount of time

Have had this drive since June 2007. It worked fine for a month or so, but now takes about 45-55 minutes to burn a dvd+R disc with a video, about 4.5GB of data. When the drive was working properly, it would take less than 8-12 minutes to burn the same thing, same dvd+R media. When the write delay became first apparent, I upgraded the firmware and that seemed to work, but now its back to taking 45-55 minutes to burn. The dvds are all of the same brand and 16x speed.

    I had a burner that burned DVD's very quickly and then overnight it went from burning DVD's in about 5 minutes to burning them in about 50 minutes. After discussing it with some other folks, the consensus seemed to be that it was a hardware issue. Given that DVD burners are fairly inexpensive, I went ahead and ordered a new one and long behold I was back to 5 minute burns. Not but 2 weeks after I installed the new one, it abruptly went back to taking 50 minutes to burn DVD's. I am stumped. Can anyone assist? Is it a Windows issue? Or, maybe a Nero issue???

The problem is that you might not have sufficient memory. Try burning @ 8x. Burning DVDs at 16x is a speed higher than the speed @ which file transfer takes place within the pc. So the lack of availability of memory slows down the proces. I once had the same problem.

I hope u find it helpful sir...

Here's what it says Heather,
  • The crankshaft position sensor identifies position of the crankshaft to the ignition control module (ICM), engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM)
  • When not replaced, vehicle could experience no- or hard start, long crank time, misfire, lack of power, excessive hydrocarbons in oil, spark plug fouling, catalytic converter failure, poor fuel economy, CEL/MIL illumination or intermittent shutdown.I would say,go for it.

You haven't given your system specification, like the amount of memory ram, processor speed, is it a new machine, duo core etc. The data you have burned on the disk, will depand on the software (nero) if it is converting the data, then it burns or it uses other form of encoding software to convert your data. Test your dvd writer manually, using nero CONTROL DRIVE"S SPEED. hope this will solve your problem. Thanks

Burning Speed on DRU-840A Sony Burner
Ok, problem has been fixed. Search of forums solved the problem.
SP3 and Office 2007 were not the problem.
I had a bad disk a week ago. Apparently, Windows will change the setting of the drive from DMA to PIO. This slows the data transfer rate significantly.
I uninstalled both the secondary IDE controller and the dvd burner. After starting up the computer, DMA was enabled. Nero and my burner were back to normal. Disks burned in 6 minutes vs 40 minutes.
See http://forum.videohelp.com/topic187112.html for details on what to do.
There was some advice on how to change the setting from PIO back to DMA by going into the registry, but there is some risk in doing so. I found that uninstalling the IDE controller and burner worked without having to fool around with the registry.

DVD BURNING : TAKES TOO MUCH TIME AND CPU USAGE GOES TO 60%
Based on the laptop model you have listed, I am afraid to say that there is not much that you can do about the time it takes to burn DVDs. Computers often come with re-writeable (RW) drives that have different speeds. Thus, on older laptops or desktops, the drives are very often slow and will take a large amount of time to burn a full DVD. As for the CPU usage, writing data from a hard drive to a DVD or a CD is a very memory and performance heavy task, especially on older computers. You can attempt to free up resources by closing as many non-essential programs as possible prior to burning a DVD... but that will not dramatically increase the speed. Not using the laptop for other purposes while it is burning a disc may also speed up the process.

Tv making clicking noise while I am watching
Hello everyone,

I bought the model TH-50PX60U June of 2007. I've been hearing the very annoying clicking noise as well.

Since the TV has a one year warranty, I just called Panasonic and they've scheduled a tech to come over and take a look at it three days from now.

I will publish the results on the same page.
