Nero 2018 takes forever to burn dvd

[tropicalremix]

when I try to burn a dvd it takes all night to burn. I'm using a dvd-rq pop-up mobile external 3.0 usb burner.
i am running windows 11.
i did a search online and couldn't find a solution. can someone help me please?
on my old laptop i was using a different nero and my laptop had a dvd burner in it. i wish the newer laptops had this.
this is what I'm using now: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pop-Up-Portable-USB-3-0-External-DVD-CD-Optical-Drive-for-D...ssType=VARIANT

this program is usually pretty recommend on this site. https://www.videohelp.com/software/ImgBurn


imgburn hasn't been updated for awhile. but you could say the same thing about dvd.

hmm are other thing happening on computer like virus scans while you're burning ? since you're windows 11 you should have a computer with the specs to handle a dvd burn. and since you mentioned all night. you obviously are not using the computer the entire time of the burn process. hmm...

let me know if using imgburn helps. and what brand of blank discs are you using ? can you set thing your on your computer so that the burner is running at usb 2.0 speeds ??

good luck.

Using ImgBurn to burn a movie compressed to DVD5.
Time to burn duration: 00:30:05

If A DVD-R or DVD+R SL was used it would have been faster. As I could have used 8X speed.
The DVD-RW was burned at 2X.
