Drive's burning speed
After reading some information, im under the impression that external DVD drives are slower then internal (when it comes to burning) and internal dvd drive placement, inside case also affects burning speeds. Am I correct or have I been fooled?

if you got the right external case it will be as fast ( with fire wire)sigpic

By that you mean? Like a high speed burner, or??The final state of any discipline is where you forget what you have learned, discard your mind, and accomplish whatever you set out to do without being aware of it yourself.

the guru's over at cdfreaks have a long thread about external enclosures and have had some luck with getting a few drives to almost catching internal ones
speedwise, I seriously doubt many average users will have such luck.
average user does well to burn 4x with an external usb2 drive(true speed)
a full disk in 15 minutes, experienced users with optimized computers and a good external can hit 8-12X with firewire, 7-10 minute burns.Comment

even usb1 at 900KB/s, would take about 1 hour and 20 minutes for the burningComment

Could it be my computer sucks? I've done all kinds of optimzing (including your sticky) Or maybe im exagerating, ill check exact time on United after rip is finished.The final state of any discipline is where you forget what you have learned, discard your mind, and accomplish whatever you set out to do without being aware of it yourself.

don't count the shrink time, time just the burn, I would add a usb2 card or adapter before i waited over an hour to burnLast edited by Chewy; 15 Sep 2006, 05:06 AM.Comment

I went to a concert tonight so I didnt get to see actual burn time, but total DvD Shrink time was 5hr's and 20something minutes plus Ripit4me's 3hr's and 26mins. Coming toooo over a full work day I'm going to do a couple tommorow that I should be able to watch the actuall burn time.

looks like dma is off, see sticky in general computing, verify with nero info toolComment

@ NightTran, if you are asking about the PX, you bet I can (LOL).

I followed the directions and I cant get device one switched from PIO mode to DMA. Un-installed twice Re-installed twice. Although in config under the nero info tool it says dma on/auto run on under the drive.
My primary is my cr-rw drive that I never ever use could I just pull that and make the dvd drive my primary? Will that help?The final state of any discipline is where you forget what you have learned, discard your mind, and accomplish whatever you set out to do without being aware of it yourself.

you can do that, if you dont use the cd drive
PS is this Dell comp, you may need to go to Bio and fix it ( very dangerous it could mess up every thing, if you dont feel comf. dont do it, but if you decide to try then change one thing at a time and if it is not work you can go back and change it)sigpicComment
