Poor Burning Speed

[ralston242]

I use dvd shrink to backup my dvds. The dvd i am trying to back up was backed up to my pc in 8 minutes. I then use Vso copy to dvd to burn onto a dvd. For some reason it takes over an hour to burn.

Anybody any idea as to what is causing this problem?

My processor is an intel pentium 4 2.40 GHz and i have 512MB ram so i believe my pc is capable of much faster speeds. My dvd rewriter is a LiteOn drive. I have no idea of the model number and do not know how to find this out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Make sure your burner is running in DMA mode.

Right click My Computer/Properties/Hardware/Device Manager

Thanks for response but the device is in DMA mode

Any other ideas?

try the burning program that came with your system/burner.

" My dvd rewriter is a LiteOn drive. I have no idea of the model number and do not know how to find this out."

try DVDInfo...freeware.

ok cheers
my dvd drive is a liteon LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-811S

I dont have the burning software that came with it anymore

I have just got a new pc so i took it out of my old pc and dont have anything that came with it anymore.

also i have nero 5.5.9.8 which i belive is quite an old version. this doesnt recognise a drive being there at all. do you think i have some sort of problem with the drivers installed with the dvd drive. if so how can they be fixed?

Thanks

Try burning it with imgburn and it wouldn't hurt to update the drive's firmware too.
