    HI.
    i am new to this burning thing and i would like some help. I Have a hp dvd740e external burner with lightscribe and the software i use is nero express3. I Have a big problem tho. When i would burn a dvd it would set it to the max speed and when it is indicated that it will take 3 HOURS to complete burning the dvd.
    PLZ TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG HERE. AM I USING THE WRONG SOFTWARE? DO I HAVE A SETTING WRONG?

    HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

    as i said first make sure your drives are in DMA mode

    what CPU and how much memorey/ram is your system?

    try better software clonedvd 2 with anydvd would be your best choice

    dont run other programs while transcoding and burning either to free up resources

    First off, I always have AnyDVD running ...

    ICOPYDVDs2 takes about 30 minutes

    CloneDVD takes about 35-40 minutes

    Nero takes about 40-45 minutes (with two passes)

    DVD Decrypter/DVD Shrink/ImgBurn about 50 minutes with Shrink doing a deep analysis and the high quality adaptive compensation box checked and set to maximum sharpness ...

    These times are for a 8GB source disc and burned to a 4.38GB disc at maximum speed

    As far as how many DVDs can be recorded in a single day ... WOW! There's lots of variables involved here ... I usually don't do lots of different discs ... I have created discs and burned the image to over 50 discs in a day on many occasions ...

    nardy, i use clonedvd 2 with anydvd and it takes me 11 to 12 mins. on shorter movies and 20 to 25 mins. on longer movies so about 3 an hour X 10 hours would be 30 or 20 hours would be 60

    ok thanks. But i noticed that clone dvd 2 cant transcode movie file(like .avi) to dvd files..or can it?
    I need a fast program that can transcode .avi files to dvd files so i can burn them.
