I've noticed over time that my dvd burner has slowed considerably.
as we talk i'm burning a movie using dvdplatinum and it's burning speed is 1.5x. i'm using dvd-r verbatim disc and a maxtor 160gb hard drive/philips dvd+-rw dvd8801 burner. it takes like 30-40+ mins to burn a dvd.
i've cleaned my hard drive, defraged it, ccleaned it, and adaware cleaned it also and still nothing changes.
is this normal and if not what can i do to remedy this problem
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

To check DMA/PIO mode within Windows:
Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager>IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.
From there, right click on one of the channels and choose 'Properties>Advanced Settings'. All drives should be DMA mode. The 'Current Transfer Mode' for Hard drives is usually DMA 4-6 and DVD burners DMA 2-4, DVD ROMs usually DMA 2. If you see any in PIO mode, that can slow things down.
Changing them back may be easy or complicated. First see if you can change them in that window. If not, I usually uninstall the channel the drive is on and let the OS reinstall it. This will usually take a reboot. This will not damage any files on the computer. If it's still PIO, see if you can change it now.
From there, if no luck, get back to us.
