    I Just installed the Pioneer DVR-112D burner on my PC ( WinXP Pro SP2; Celeron 2400; 512 RAM ) . On my 2 years old Lite-on burner before the upgrade, it took 12 minutes to burn a DVD 5 movies at speed 6X . Now, this new Pioneer burner took 29 minutes to burn the same DVD 5 disc at 8X !! Obviously, something is terribly wrong here ! I expect about only 8 minutes at the most !!

    Do I need to update the driver or firmware ? Currently, WinXP driver is used . Could the driver cause this issue ? BTW, the DVD discs are playable . It's the speed that killing me !

    Please help ..Thanks

    I just updated the firmware to version 1.22 (from 1.15)from Pioneer website then tried to burn the same DVD again . Nothing changed , still almost half an hour ! I noticed the average actual speed was only 1.8x instead of the specified speed of 12X ! Why ?? Please explain ... Thanks .

    ====================

    Thanks Ripper for the great infos ! I checked the DVD config. in my PC , everything seemed O.K. , all in DMA mode . However, I uninstalled the WinXP CD-DVD drivers and restarted the system . This did it ! The Pioneer DVD-112D now runs at the correct speed aroung 8 minutes to burn a DVSD-5 disc . Again, thanks Ripper !

    I'm having the same probs, slow burn speeds. Having just gone through the guide I am a bit confused (newbie). The first is I have 2 primary IDE listed a 1 secondary IDE?
    They are set up as
    1st primary, device 0 device 1
    transfer mode DMA if avail transfer mode DMA if avail
    current trans mode PIO mode current trans mode ULTRA DMA mode 2

    2nd primary device 0 device 1
    transfer mode DMA if avail trans mode DMA if avail
    current trans mode ULTRA DMA mode 5 current mode N/A

    secondary IDE device 0 device 1
    trans mode DMA if avail trans mode DMA if avail
    current N/A Current N/A

    Is this correct?
