Taking like 2 hours to write a dvd...

Got some new Ridata DVD+rs from newegg. Popped it in my Liteon LDS-411s burner. ITs taking 2 hours to write up a dvd. Anyone have any idea what is causing this to happen? I am writing some xvid/divx movie files on it. So is it due to the file type. Burner? or a bad batch of DVDs? Alot of people have been reporting these are ricohjpns but I might have a bad batch. Any thoughts?
 
Are you sure you aren't trying to encode an xvid onto a dvd as a dvd movie? Transcoding a video file can take hours even on the fastest system. If you just want to burn the disc as a data disc that shouldn't take any longer than anything else.
 
what you vould try is to burn regular data files on a DVD. Try to backup your MP3 collection or just any regular data typ file except for video files. If it still takes long time to burn you could always buy another brand just to make sure that its not your DVD burner that dislikes that particular brand is discs..
 
In Device Manager, go to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers. Look for the IDE channel that the DVD drive is attached to; right click on it, and select Properties. Go to the Advanced Settings tab. Make sure the transfer mode is set to DMA if available.
If it is already set to that, but it's still in PIO mode, you might need to remove the main IDE controller itself from Device Manager, then reboot and let it be redetected. Sometimes this works.
 
I'll say try another brand of DVD disc and try writing pure data first just to see if it's not the drive.
 
This really sounds like a cheap media 1x write issue if it is a full disc with no conversion/recompression. Go to WalMart and get a box of Maxell 4X media. The box of 10 was around $18 the last time I looked. I think they may have a smaller pack that is even cheaper to test with.
 
Geez. I tried flashing to the newest firmware. It says "NO matched Drive Detected. This is only for liteon ldw-411s 1-0-0-0 1-0-1-0. WTH?
