When burning a DVD it takes 30+ hours.
My goal is to copy over 50, 2-hour, family video tapes to DVD for my
children and me.
At this rate I won't live long enough to get them done.
My computer is a Sony VAIO PCG-FRV31. It has a Celeron 2.4 Ghz CPU with 448
mb of RAM.
The OS is XP SP2.
I first capture the home movie to an external hard drive. It is a Maxtor One
Touch 100Gb drive.
The DVD burner is a Sony DRX720UL 8x.
The media is TDK DVD-R 8x discs.
The burning software is Nero 6 Ultra Edition. It lets me know it won't fit
on a single DVD but says it can compress it to make it fit. I respond OK.
I was not connected to the internet while burning. I also stopped all
processes I felt comfortable stopping during the burn.
The recent video file I have captured is 34 GB. Nero estimated it would take
32 hours. I started the copy and it would have taken that long. I aborted
it. Also, I monitored the performance with Windows Task Manager while it was
burning and the CPU usage was at 100% the whole time.
The only video I successfully burned was also about 30 gb and it did take
30+ hours to burn. It came out fine.
Does anyone have any ideas what my problem is and suggestions on how to burn
in a much more reasonable time?
Thanks in advance.
