| Remember to update your burner's firmware otherwise you may not be able to burn at the drive's (and disc's) maximum burn speed capability |

| yeah you guys really need new dvd burners or faster computers, one of the two. |

| Many things affect the speed of ripping or burning a dvd...The speed of the computer processor, The amount of free RAM available (the fewer applications you have running while burning, the better), The buffer speed of the optical and hard drive(s) being used, the compression rate of the rip which is affected by the size of the original dvd image (note: most dvds need to be compressed using dvd shrink unless yu're using overpriced dual-layered dvd-r/+r discs), The encryption coding (or lack thereof) on the original dvd, The speed of the burner, The max write speed of the discs being used, whether or not the firmware of the drive is fully upgraded,... etc. I find that alot of newly released dvds have additional structural protections put on them so you're forced to rip & decrypt the entire disc image using dvd decrypter which inserts 'dummy sectors' into parts of the image which have unreadable data clusters. Once yu're done ripping the entire image which could take up to an hour you can then shrink it down to 4.7 gigs which could take another 30-90 mins and then you could finally burn it which could take approx. 5-6 mins @ 16x, 11 mins @ 8x, 22 @ 4x, etc... but you're often best off burning at slower speeds (4x or less) since some older dvd players glitch and/or skip which fast-burnt discs...or sometimes they cant even read them at all due to compatability issues with the hardware manufacturer. |

| If it takes 3 hours it's probably more hardware related than anything. |

Thats actually not bad but they're probably only 2.4x discs. Personally there are only certain action and cgi movies that I would bother burning onto dual-layered discs,... I normally buy spindles of 200 at a time when they're on special for $40 or 50$ tops which breaks down to 0.20-0.25 cents per disc which is dirt cheap. When you're burning alot of discs its not worth paying a buck or 2 apiece unless you're really anal on losing negligible video quality... Sometimes I'll remove the dolby 5.1 audio along with other audio's (french, spanish, etc) or even reauthor the movie entirely and remove the special features (which I later burn onto a 2nd disc) in order to save on the video quality compression. There are only a small handful of long movies that I wish I hadn't compressed (ie: Gladiator) cause occasionally you can see slight pixelation (on hi-def LCD tvs) but a great majority of the time the reduced quality isnt even noticeable on CRT tvs |
