    P4 (1.5G)
    Sony DVD-+RW DRU510A
    On a full 4.7G capacity movies

    I was using DVD X COPY platinum to backup it took approx. 30min to rip and 30 min to burn, I like it very much..excellent quality !! but just dislike the Warning logo. Made a temp folder to burn using other softwares eg) CloneDVD, RecordNow Dx.., it took even longer (1hr+) just to burn from a saved file. As you know, DVD X COPY can't burn from a saved file in local HD.

    I know my PC is fast enough and a good DVD burner is not the problem, wonder if there's any softwares that will burn 30-45mins I'll be happy.

    Thanks.

    30 min. to burn sounds like you are using 2X discs. Switch to 4X or if you can afford it, get one of the new Plextor, HP or LG burners. 8X on 4X +R discs. That show be a bit better...

  6. Generally if they don't list the speed on the disk, then they are 1 or 2.4x.

    2.4X usually takes ~24min to burn
    4X usually takes ~14min to burn
