I got 4 20 minute clips that I was testing out the burner with and the time says 24 hours and something.

now i know it doesnt take 24 hours to burn 80 minutes worth of film so my question is what am i doing wrong?

you should be able to burn that disc in a matter of minutes(if the files are in the correct dvd-compliant mpeg-2 form.what program are you using to burn with? what type of files are they? i suspect the files are being encoded first(which is needed to burn to disc).

sounds like the files are being encoded by nero, which with the specs of your pc may take as long as 24 hrs. 80 min of that video, i believe, will likely fill the whole disc with nero's compression.

again, what type of files are they? .avi? .mpg? .wma? .asf?
