A simple project: make a DVD-R consisting of just two 20-minute wma
files, unaltered in any way by me. Took about three hours to burn it;
plays perfectly.

Software: Roxio Creator 8 Suite Home, v3.0.0. After burning, DVD is
closed, so nothing more can be added to it. The "verify data written to
disc after burning" box is not checked.

Burner: Lite-on sohw-1633s (nominal burn speed, 16x). Device Manager
shows the driver to be a standard Microsoft one, dated 11/14/99. Lite-on
has a firmware update dated 12/16/05 that I have not installed yet.

Computer: Processor - AMD, about 1 GHz); 512MB.

OS: W2K, SP4.

I've looked for hidden settings in the Roxio program that may affect
burn speed, but can't find any. Any other ideas for speeding things up?
Burner records CDs at a very good speed (over 24x, even though Roxio
reports target speed as 48x).

Thanks,


Ray
