    Ok, I have a big problem here, I don't know why but my DVD burner in my laptop now take over an hour to burn a full 4.3GB of data. It used to take 15 minutes, and then one day it just went to taking over an hour.

    I use Nero 8 to burn my data DVDs and up until a week ago it started taking forever. I don't know what to do, I tried different brand of discs, uninstalling and reinstalling Nero and it still takes over an hour.

    I always burned at 8x disc speed.

    I have a Philips DVD+/-RW SDVD8820 combo drive.

    Can anyone help me? I tried to find my nero hsitory but cannot locate it.

    I think it worked! It's finishing in 25 minutes now instead of 1 hour. Thanks a lot!

    1x burn = 1 hour

    2x burn = 25/30 mins

    4x burn = 15 mins

    roughly......
