burning takes me an hour, why?

[TOpclass]

I did burn with tdk's now i am burning with prodisk white hubs. My burner can only burn at 2x but it feels ike 1x. I was burning at 30 mins but now it is an hour. Could it be my firmware? I checked my firmwareout and I can only find a update to make is regien free. My dvd burner is Toshiba SD-R5002

it says the prodisc can only write 1x with my burner. Is there a way to change that so i can wrote to 2x like a filmware?

Burning a full 4.7 GB DVD+/-R at 1x should only take about 25 minutes at 1x...

Wow- it takes almost 30 minutes to burn a full DVD-R at 2X. Guess I should start burning at 1X and save 5 minutes per disk.

Huh? I have a 1x writer, it's always taken me an about an hour to write a full DVD...

1X = 1385 kb/s = 1.35 Mb/s

4300Mb / 1.35 Mb/s = 3185s

3185s / 60 = 53 min + close disc ~3mins = just under one hour

[Poppa_Meth]

1x = 1 hour
2x = 30 minutes
2.4x = 25 minutes
4x = 15 minutes

and so on. 25 minutes at 1x is completely false, unless you are only filling the disc to about half capacity.

Whoops, I guess I should check my settings... I thought that I had CloneDVD burning my DVD Shrink images at 1x... Maybe I need my eyes checked.

Regards.

i didn't think there was a 2x speed, i thought it was 2.4x

i didn't think there was a 2x speed, i thought it was 2.4x

DVD-R went 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, ect.
DVD+R went 2.4x, 4, 8x, ect.

yes dma enabled and yes it does take a hour to burn


is there a way to burn prodisk at 2x

The problem appears to be that your burners' media table sees them as 1X. Look at website,new firmware may have updated media table.
