    I am not sure what is happening here. I just replaced my sony dvd burner with the BENQ burner,using the same cable that was already in use with the sony. Checked to make sure DMA was enabled and working. Tried burning a 4380 mb movie and it is still burning and has taken over one hour.What is going oh here? I have windows xp pro and a sony vaio Pc. Thanks and please help.

    What programs are you using? What speed are you burning at? Has the movie been ripped to your HD? If not, are you using a single drive to read and burn?

    What specific program from Nero? Recode? NeroVision Express?Hrmmm...you mentioned the movie being 4380 MB in size. Is this the target size that you have set or the actual movie size? Do you have Advanced Analysis and High Quality Recording enabled? These settings cause the time from analysis to encoding and burning to take a little longer but produce better results.

    How is the burner set up? Is it the Master on the Secondary Channel?
    Slave on the Primary Channel? What is the jumper set at? Did you use the existing cable or a new one? Is it a 40 or 80 wire cable?

    Maybe a dumb question, but are you sure the cable is connected correctly? The blue end to the motherboard and the black to the drive.

    Try uninstalling the drive in Device Manager. Reboot and allow Windows to see it as new hardware.
