    HI FOLKS,

    I WONDER IF ANYBODY IS ABLE TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM PLEASE.
    MY LOCAL STORE SUGGESTED THAT I JOIN AFTERDAWN AND TALK TO THE REAL EXPERTS!.

    ANYWAY, I HAVE A MAJOR BURNING PROBLEM..

    FIRST OF ALL I HEREIS THE SPEC OF MY PC.

    I USE WINDOWS 98SE 40 GB HDD WITH ALWAYS AROUND 10 OR SO FREE. RAM IS 512MB AND I USE USB2. THE BURNER IS CONTROLLED BY NEROS LATEST OEM PACKAGE.
    MY BURNER IS THE IMATION EXTERNAL MODEL DVRW16E-3MONTHS OLD-CAPABLE OF BURNING DVDRW'S UP TOP X4 AND DVDR + OR - AT UP TO X16

    SO, PLEASE COULD YOU HELP DIAGNOSE WHY IT TAKES FOREVER-MINIMUM 2 HOURS TO BURN A FULL 4.5GB OF DATA ON A DVD+R-BURNT AT X8 . WHEREAS
    IT ONLY TAKES 15 MINS TO BURN THE SAME CAPACITY TO A DVDRW- AT X4!!!!.

    I HAVE TRIED BURNING THE DVDR AT X16 BUT NERO SAYS THE SOURCE DATA IS TOO SLOW.

    BOTH DISCS ARE IMATION WITH THE + SYMBOL.


    SOME POINTERS BASED ON MY CURRENT SETTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

    WHEN I INSERT A NEW UNUSED DVD+R IN THE BURNER IT IS RECOGNISED AS AN AUDIO CD?!

    IN CONTROLS>DEVICE MANAGER , BOTH BURNERS ARE RECOGNISED-IE THE CD INTERNAL AND IMATION CD/DVD EXTERNAL. ON THIS NOTE, IN SETTINGS IF I DO NOT UNCHECK THE AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION BOX ON THE IMATION1 THE NERO SOFTWARE WILL NOT RECOGNISE THE DISC AND WILL CRASH THE SYSTEM. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IF I AM BURNING DVDRW. SURELY THIS ISNT RIGHT?

    2) IN ' MY COMPUTER' WHATEVER DISC I USE, - DVDRW OR DVDR-EMPTY OR OTHERWISE ARE ONLY EVER RECOGNISED AS HAVING 1.99GB OF TOTAL SPACE?

    I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP SOLVING THIS. NERO JUST ADVISED ME TO DOWNLOAD THEIR LATEST SOFTWARE, WHICH I HAVE DONE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.

    THANKS AGAIN,

    STEVE KNOTT

    Thanks Whompus for replying to my dvdr burning problem..

    Sorry about this but how do I atach the log file you requested please?


    The burn time of 2 hrs for dvdr's ( inc data verification) doesnt change whether I have 'adapt to writespeed checked' or 'high compatability' checked.

    I burnt another dvdrw this morning and it still only takes
    15mins!!! for a full disc.
