All of a sudden, it takes 2 hours to burn a dvd!?!
Anyone have this problem before?
I've burned hundreds of dvds with nero, taking about 12-15 minutes each. Now it takes 2 hours to burn. I just defragmented the hard drive to no avail. Any suggestions? No members have liked this post.

I dunno...the only time I've run into something like this was when my hard drive went/was going bad.

The buffer level is bouncing.
It won't hit 100, it jumps between 25 and 51% I'm not sure what my drives firmware even is. I've tried several different kinds of media. It even takes over an hour to read a dvd to be copied. We just bought this laptop in november, so I sure hope the hard drive hasn't gone bad. No members have liked this post.

Re: All of a sudden, it takes 2 hours to burn a dvd!?!
I just had my first DVD burner go out on me, and that's exactly what it was doing. The first symptom was that it took 40 minutes to burn a cd. If I tried to extract a disc using that drive it would just skip - and use a lot of my cpu's resources. I defraged to no avail. Then when I tried to burn a DVD with decrypter my buffer would jump all over the place, but never get above 25 or 30%
 Oh well, I'm replacing it with a dual layer, so I can justify it as an upgrade  I doubt it's the harddrive, if you just bought it in November it should still be under some kind of warranty

I'm sorry that I dont have a clue what that means.
Would I do this through Nero, or the properties of my drive? I didn't see either of those things. No members have liked this post.

Re: All of a sudden, it takes 2 hours to burn a dvd!?!
I got the info from this page-
http://www.michna.com/kb/WxDMA.htm It sounded a little intimidating at first, but was pretty easy. I burned a dvd last night in 13 minutes, and am SO HAPPY! I was getting pretty frustrated. No members have liked this post.
