My Pioneer DVD Burner
Hello Everyone Im having a problem with my Pioneer dvd burner. Its a Piodata DVD-RW,DVDR-180D and when I set it to burn at 8x it burns at 1x and it is making me mad because I have a file 1.6 Gb and it takes about 20- 30 minutes to burn. Im burning media with DVD Decrypter and the buffer wont stay above 95% it keeps moving. Please someone give me some advice on how to fix this problem.

What speed is the DVD media rated at? The drive won't burn it any faster than the DVD media is designed for.

1.6GigaBytes taking 25 minutes to burn, that translates to just under 9Megabit per second if my math is correct. 8x speed DVD drives burn data at a maximum of just under 11Mbps. Close enough. Your data is burning at the correct speed.

Look I used to burn 4 gb DVDs in about 8 - 9 min at 8x. Something has to be wrong man a 1.6 GB Dvd burning at 8x taking shouldnt take 25 - 30 minutes to burn.

Is the drive connected as a Master or a Slave on the IDE channel? What about the primary hard drive? Does the burning tool actually say "1x" speed, or does it just go at that speed but still say "8x"?

Look its the slave i think because the e:\ is my cdrom drive the burner is my f:\. I always check and see what I set the burner to and I put it on 8x when it burns. I select 8x on DVD Decrypter and when it start it fill up the left bar all the way for the lead in buffer then the buffer bar on the right doesnt keep a consistent buffer percent goes up and down but doesnt go about 95% and at the top the burning speed it says 1x the whole time it is burning.

Drive letter has no relation to master/slave configuration. You need to open up the PC and check. The buffer always goes up and down, that's what they do - data gets put into the buffer to fill it up, it gets taken out and burnt to the CD, then the buffer gets filled again. You should only be worried if the buffer gets too low (that means there's no data to write, resulting in a free coaster).

So I shouldnt be worried if my burner takes too long to burn a dvd that is not that big I understand if the file was bigger but it is only 1.6 GBs big . If you burn a dvd at 8x how long does it take if the file is 1.6 GB.

That's not what I said. I mentioned nothing about speed in that last post. I was talking about the BUFFER. Read it again if you don't understand.
