Burning at 4x, say 20 minutes.
If you are using Nero, you can copy one of the logs from a burning session and post it on the Nero forum here at Afterdawn.

 

i dont use nero or any thing really name brand stuff
its just like vista dvd maker or somethin like that

I don't have Vista, so I cannot say.

Click 'Output' > 'Device'
Click 'File' > 'Browse for Folder', highlight on the 'VIDEO_TS' folder, > 'OK'
Set burning speed to 4x and click the green write button.
.
if it's an ISO imge to be burned, select 'Mode' > 'Write'

Hi, but did anyone check if the dma is enabled? if not u could b burning in pio mode. or check out this thread BurningBits_com View topic - How to check and reset DMA settings.htm . Hope this helps

 

I'm wondering if jiggles is actually complaining about the transcoding time and not the actual burn time?
