WinXP Pro SP2 Burner-NEC ND-3500AG DVD-rom drive-Lite-On DVD SOHD-167T Using Verbatim 8X, and ProDisc 16X (both DVD-R) Both burners have updated firmware using nero 6.6.0.13 (newest version), using the DVDCopy option. I was using the 8x mentioned above, takes about 15 min to burn full DVD. Then i bought the 16x (above), and i was still getting about 12 min. Should 16X be more like 5 minutes? So i got DVD Identifer 3.6.3.1, and the following are the results. Please post any suggestions, Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking by the invalid entry on both discs, is my burner configured wrong some how??? I haven't updated the drivers, but from what i've read, the firmware is what counts. Any help is much appreciated.
