Hi ignore all other posts as i have ditched that nero 7 version and downloaded nero 7 trial from nero. Can anyone tell me how i can speed up the burning process? If i can do this how does it affect quality? Thanks
* make sure DMA is On * release more Memory * shut off/disable unnecessary running programs * do not multi-task * shut off/disable Anti-Virus, firewall, disconnect from the net That depends on your DVD burner and the media you're using. Why in a rush to burn fast? You're more than likely to create more "coasters" when burning at max speed instead of 4X - 8X. However, the choice is yours. Regards
Im in a rush bcoz i put two films on each dvd. So pc is hogged for 3-4 hours at a time. But if speed up affects quality then i will just be patient
I think it's your computer if it takes 3-4 hours to do a DVD! You must have a pentium II or III .....how old is your computer?
My laptop is 1 year old it has 1gb ram and 100gb hdrive. The processor is Athlon 64 dual core. It takes 3-4 hours because im doing two films on one disc. If i did one film on dvd it would take length of that one film.
Are you sure your DMA is on? Taking that long on a dual core is ridiculous, for any type of burn! See alkohols guide about DMA here. Can you post a burn log for us to look at please?
Hi thanks for help ripper. I dont know how to show you my burn log or where it is, sorry please let me in on the secret...
Hi me again that dma thing went over my head!?! How do i find out if dma is on or not? How long should it take to burn to a dvd?
Below is an example "successfully burned" log of mine. Any ordinary successful/good burned should look identical to this. NOTE: This is just for reference only.

I'm pretty sure that a mere firmware upgrade will fix this Update this ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/rmsd/NEC6650_v103C.zip Also, burn at a faster speed such as 4-8x. No need to burn @ 2x. Lol.
DMA is something to do with your drives writing ability I think (don't know the exact definition of it). Anyway, yours is on.
