    Has anyone burned a full 8 gig disk using their notebook drive?

    If you have; how long did it take?

    A full DL burn on a 2.4x burn should take between 40-45 mintues. My desktop BenQ DW1620 took 44 minutes to write full disc. When burning at 2.4x you are laying down data at 3.3Mps which shouldn't be a problem for a 4200RPM drive.

    I also use Nero. You might want to try to upgrade to the latest version from Nero's website if they will let you. Or you can pick up an OEM copy cheap on eBay. CDBurnerXP and DeepBurner are both free and work well for basic buring tasks like making audio and data CDs, and data DVDs if you want to try some different software. Good Luck.

    Anyone know of a way to cut down on the standard read/scanning/decoding time when copying one disc to another? (I suspect there isn't anyway of improving this time due to the max. DVD read speed being 8x)

    Thanks!![ ;)]

    If you can read/decode/encode or transcode, and burn a disc in real time or less, consider that more than fast enough. I mean if a disc is 90 mins. long and the whole process takes less than 90 mins. then count your blessings[ :D]. This only applies to backing up your DVDs.

    Well I burn movies in about 40mins (the entire process)...each disc being copied is AT LEAST 4.7GB...I was hoping it could be faster. (I'm writing @ 6x much slower than 16x max)

    I appreciate the feedback.

    It seems there are not many folks using the dl feature.

    Makes me wonder how important the feature is.

    Disc's are still too expensive.

    There are very few projects that will require a DL disc.

    This is a decent price if you don't mind some coasters...
