as regard to your burning problem your burner may be in PIO mode it should be DMA that will cause very slow burning open up device manager and delete the seconday IDE controller then reboot computer windows will reinstall controller and burner will go into DMA mode and your burning speed will increase
i did what you told me and it worked good it took dvdshrink times from 137-205 minutes to 25 minutes which is really good but i still wonder why it hasnt gone back to the 11- 15 minute timeline it was on in the first place i also have no idea why my comp keeps crashing in the converting of files after about five minutes.
the 11-15 min time you had before it depends on the size of the dvd you are trying to copy the larger the file the longer it will take why your computer crashes i do not know it could be caused by one of the programs you downloaded i would deleate them then reinstall one at time try that program if computer works the you know that program is not the problem then go to next program if computer crashes then you know what the problem is
