CD Burning Speed
 

After recently upgrading from the mire of XP to win 2000, my 48x CD burner now takes 6.5 minutes to burn CDs at 48x, which is about the speed of 16x burning. I tried using the Device Manager to update the drivers for the drive, but that accomplished nothing. Any ideas as to why my CD burner now burns so slowly, and how to fix it?

Have you tried another CD-Burning tools? It can be your burning software problem, not the OS dependent one.

It is the same burning software I was using before. That should not be an issue.

Re: CD Burning Speed
 

What program are you using to burn the CD?

Re: CD Burning Speed
 

Nero Burning Rom.

Re: CD Burning Speed
 

16x is a typical max speed for CDRWs, and older CD-Rs.

Are you sure its not the disk's limit you're seeing?

Also, you may just have to reset the default speed settings in the software back up to 48x...

That's strange. I am running XP and I use Nero. I only have a 24x burner but it only takes it about 3 or 4 minutes to burn a cd. My only guess is that either Nero or your device drivers were optomized for XP and there is enough of a difference between XP and 2000 to effect it. Either that or 2000 is simply not giving Nero a high enough priority and is getting too few system resources. Maybe you should check into that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Btw, Fyron, precise information about CD-R drive vendor/model and Nero Version could help us http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Perhaps yu need to raise the max burning speed - or perhaps some issues with the upgraded windows are the order of the day - you could try gettign a hold of the latest Version of nero.
