Clone Dvd

[SirJangly]

Hey guys! When I back up a dvd, it takes about 15 minutes to create the dvd files onto the hard drive. The problem is, sometimes it takes up to 40 minutes to write it onto a dvd :-\. It usually takes about 10! What could be causing this huge increase in time? Thanks in advance!

you doing some heavy multitasking?
burn speed tends to be relatively consistent

 

[SirJangly]

No heavy multitasking. I like to finish backups asap

 

[SirJangly]

anyone?

Is this with the same media on the same drive?

If it is movies you are backing up, might it be a dual layer original that you are copying to a regular DVD+/-R? In that case, the movie has to be reduced in size to fit on the DVD and that takes time.

 

[SirJangly]

Yes same media with the same drive. It is slow when it is burning from the hard drive TO the blank disk though ;(

Did your driver error out, and reset itself to PIO mode?

 

[SirJangly]

Whats that? But no, there aren't any errors.
