Question regarding DVD Burning

[DVDFan1969]

my DVD burner was pretty reliable but today something odd happened. I was copying Ant Bully and the process up until the actual burning was kist like it was before but when i did the burning,it took 22 minutes to burn. Usually it only takes 9. Is this a virus that might be causing that? or is it due to the Burner starting to give up? i have had this computer for over 2 1/2 years so i just wanted your opinion. Thanks.

[DVDFan1969]

What is your burning process?

[Gary D]

What program did you burn with?? If you burned with Nero, then see in my signature on how to attach your last Nero (burn) Log.

i use dvd decrypter. i already burned that some time ago and ejected the blank already so i don't know if you can still view the log now.

Let me open my wizzard mirror.
me :Mirror mirror what is the best way to find out what is the problem?
Mirror : I think you were try to burn at 8x but it is bad/slow blank so it can only burn close to 4x

Try looking in program files / Dvd Decrypter / DVDD log.

[DVDFan1969]

there is none

there is no log in dvd decrypter folder

Adjust your settings.

Make sure you have this done & then you will have a log for us from the next time you burn.

ok

i have it set up so next time i burn a dvd it'll give me a log then i'll be able to give you the results. Thanks.

ok

unfortuneately i didn;t realize i had "overwrite log" checked and i accidentally turned on decrypter and it overwrote the .txt i was going to send. anyway,can you tell me how to change the burning speed in Decrypter? maybe that is the problem.

never mind. i have it set for Max. anyway,i don;t know what the problem is. Seems like it'll play fine but when i keep the blank in the drive and turn on DVD Decrypter,i'll get an I/O error even though i burned it successfully. I think this burner is shot.

[DVDFan1969]

Here's what it says on Write Mode in DVD Decrypter with a blank in the drive. maybe this will help.
