^^ How do you people live with 50-60 minutes to burn a DVD! There is definately something wrong with your drives! Check if DMA is enabled! It should take somewhere around 6 minutes to burn @ 16x. My BenQ DW 1650 takes a little under 6 minutes to burn a full DVD.

@vinyas: 5 minutes is impossible (unless you have an 18x writer). You must not have burned a *full* DVD.

check ur buffer's .. if they continuosly decline and then move back up then there is some problem.... that results in a major time lag..

8x should take around 12-15 minutes. For your DMA problem, right click on your primary/secondary IDE channel (depending on which channel your writer is connected to) and select un-install. Then reboot. Windows will install the IDE channel again. Then try enabling DMA.

Hmm.. You can use Nero Info Tool (under nero toolkit) to find out the channel your writer is connected to. And your second problem is also due to DMA most probably..

^^ You dont have to change the connectors.. Just change the jumpers (read about them in the manual, they are next to the IDE cable). And 2 mins @ 48X for a CD is perfectly normal.

I dunno abt vlc but u can check if u r using some equaliser or some effects that might b making some hall effect or sumthing.

Dont change the PIO mode to DMA the optical drive wont work. Optical drives work on PIO mode only.
