i have a A03 and the firmware has been upgraded and the region and all has been reset. i am using a Verbatim DVD-R but it has been writing for almost 4 hours by time of completion? can anyone please tell me why?
this is the first thing i have tried t burn since it has been installed again.

1 other thing, i was stripping DVD's to make DIVX and all was fine it was stripping at an average of 7x - 10 x, but recently it will only strip dvd's at a maximum of 2 x could this have and to do with the problem of slow burning? and how can i fix?
thanks in advance for all help
