Memory? The drive itself? My friend can burn dvds in 5 min. when it takes me 2-3 hours to burn the same project & he won't tell me how. Help please.

more than likely it depends on how ur doing things .. if ur application has to convert first it will take much longer ... if its actually taking u hours to burn data there is a problem with ur machine or operating system ..

A fast burning drive is just a great start.
Processor speed and memory additionally have the final answer on how fast your information is transfered.
The more available memory you have the more you can cache
Your hardware is only as good as your software as well. Nero is the fastest

well first of all the drive itself plays a big part, as the drive has a speed limitation.
also you so called "friend" may already have the DVD image file reay to burn, as you are probably have to set and wait for a video to be encoded, then burned - in that case it will take you ages no matter what speed PC.

The dvd drive itself... My guess a 16 speed drive.
It also depends on how fast your hard drive can provide data to the drive, so it's not only the drive that has to be fast...

DVDs can only burn at the x2 speed making it incredibly slow to make them. CDs can burn at up to x52 or x16 for the rewritable ones. It mainly depends on your CD burner and if your using the crappy kind of Cds. Please post what kind of CD/DVD -RW drive you have.

It is the program your using to burn with.A burner will burn fast as long as it has proper program.I can copy and burn but not in five min.He must only be copying.

you would upgrade your cd/dvd player to a faster one.
