Long Burn
      #12368 - Sat Sep 27 2003 10:03 AM

An easy one for the experts, I'm sure but not for a novice.

I use an IBM Thinkpad - speed 600Mhz - connected to an external Hewlet Packard CD Re-Writer.

The latter is a new acquisition for me but a few years old and with a write / re-write speed of x4. The software came bundled with the writer.

The problem is that burning a CD seems to take so long. For, example, to copy a pretty standard 10 track CD running for, say, 45 minutes takes about an hour and a half.

Is there better software I should be using to speed this up, or am I limited by the speed of the writer?

Thanks.

i think you'll find that you are limited by the speed of the writer, when burning do you do a straight burn or do youhave it doing a simulation first, if so take of the simulation and do a straight burn, that should halve the time.
