I've always heard that Ritek were second class quality. And TDK were pretty darn good. Can you point me to any documentation you know of that I can look at?

My archives are on Verbatim, Fuji, TDK and TY. I figured that was pretty safe...

Re: Over an hour to burn a DVD?!?

There's no ADVANCED SETTING tab when I go "My Computer" > Properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager so I can't check to see if it says PIO in the CURRENT TRANSFER MODE. Since my "Control Panel" isn't working at the moment I guess I'm stuck with slow burning speeds.

Do this...

right click on "My Computer" > Properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager (middle of window) > Right click on Primary IDE > Properties > Advanced Settings tab > then you can see if it says PIO and do whatever you're supposed to do. I see that my laptop says PIO only.

There's no advance settings tab, just General, Driver & resources tabs.

Re: Over an hour to burn a DVD?!?

Hm... well you can still delete the drivers and reboot and have Windows reinstall them.

OUt of curiosity, what OS are you on? Maybe you don't get that option with your OS? I see it on WinXP Pro. But I"m pretty sure I've always had advanced settings in there even on 98.

Re: Over an hour to burn a DVD?!?

I have Windows ME. It's alright to remove the drivers? Windows will reinstall them?

Re: Over an hour to burn a DVD?!?

OK, I removed the drivers & restarted the computer. Windows reinstalled them. I tried burning some DVD files & it was just as slow as it was before I did this. Thank you Mr Walker & feralicious for trying to help me. I guess my problem has to do with something else.

Re: Over an hour to burn a DVD?!?

Check the drive manufacturer's site to see if you may need to update the firmware. That might be it.

Also, were you using the same brand of media, from the same batch? Some drives don't like certain types of media for some reason. Check this link and see if anyone has reported problems with the media brand you have with the drive you have.

Re: Over an hour to burn a DVD?!?

this sounds very much like DMA is not enabled (which is what everyone else is trying to point out, methinks). try this...

[directions taken from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=258757]


Method 2
You can install any version of Windows 98 or Windows Me to obtain support for DMA.

How to Enable DMA for a CD-ROM

To enable DMA for a CD-ROM:

1. If you are using Windows 98, Windows Me or a version of Windows 95 that includes DMA support, by default, DMA is available but is not enabled for your CD-ROM, and you should skip to step 2. If your version of Windows 95 does not include DMA support, use either of the following methods:

• You can install any version of Windows 98 or Windows Me to obtain support for DMA.
2. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
3. On the Device Manager tab, double-click the CDROM branch to expand it, and then double-click your CD-ROM.
4. On the Settings tab, click to select the DMA check box, and then click OK.
5. Restart your computer, and then test to determine if your CD-ROM is working properly by using the CD-ROM drive. If you determine that your CD-ROM does not work properly with DMA enabled, disable DMA. To do so, repeat steps 2-4, but click to clear the DMA check box.

Re: Over an hour to burn a DVD?!?

The drive is brand new. I am also using the same media I was when it burning fast. I'll try that DMA thang you're talking about. Stay tuned.

Re: Over an hour to burn a DVD?!?

It's VERY possible that your specific (NEW) drive doesn't like the media you're using. Try another media manufacturer, and see www.cdfreaks.com for discussions on drive manufacturers and media types.

Re: Over an hour to burn a DVD?!?

I'm using the same media as I was before the slow burning problem started. The drive supports all types of DVD's.
