I have a SONY DVD RW DW-Q30A 16x DVD Burner. I had the same problem in EMC 8 and now again in EMC 9. I have made slide shows of JPEGs that I saved as .iso files. Used to take like 3 minutes to burn the image file onto a Memorex 16x DVD+R disc. Now it takes 20 minutes. When it starts it looks like it will take 3 minutes and then it automatically changes to like 20 minutes. I also have Pinnacle Studio 9 and I have burned DVDs in there with no drop off of speed. It's like one day I woke up and this happened. Is there something in my Roxio settings that is causing this? Even if I set the burning speed to 12x, 8x or even 6x and use the same 12x or 8x DVD+Rs, Roxio says the actual burning speed is 1.3x or 1.1x.
It just won't go any higher.
Any help is appreciated. I have been doing these slide shows for months now, and it has only been recently that the burning speed has become a problem. The encoding goes well and when the DVD is completed, it plays fine in several different DVD players.
Why would the burning speed change all of a sudden and not go as high as it is capable of?
If my burner was bad, wouldn't it just crap out altogether? Would I not have probelms using it in other programs? I can rip videos just fine and I can play DVDs on my computer with no problem.
