nero

[MOFO]

how long should it take to burn a film to a dvd-r via nero, it takes me as lon as the film is so if the films 90mins itll take 90mins to burn ect ect, is it possible to do this quicker? just babys gone to sleep and all the films are stored on mt hd.

depends how fast your burner is. go to the settings and select it to burn at the fastest speed.

it is on the top setting, i was wondering if im using the right bit of nero to do it, im using make your onw dvd?????

What you're doing is converting a video file (DIVX, Xvid etc) to DVD. It's taking a long time due to the conversion process NOT because it's burning it slowly.

so is there a quicker way of doing it?

Yup. Buy a better PC.

That aside, nope.

it depends what you are playing it on. my DVD player in my car can play any file so i write them to DVD as a mpeg file so i dont need to convert it. that would make it quicker. but i dont know if normal DVD players do that?

a 16x dvd burner should write a full dvd in around 5 mins

Try using another conversion programme before you burn with Nero. You may find it'll be slightly quicker, but don't expect miracle results as it's a slow process anyway.

I dont ever write dual layers at faster than 4x it doesnt seem to do as clean a burn if you go faster...

I convert with ConvertXtodvd which automatically burns to my DVD drive.

I suspect you are converting from AVI?

 

[MOFO]

yea i think, just dloaded films that i pay for,

Same as. Not happy burning at anything above that - My standalone doesn't seem like anything burned quicker - Tend to skip a bit when burned too fast.

in all my pc years ive burned everything from films to music full pelt with no problems whatsoever, hardly even had a coaster
