How long does a typical burn take with Primo?

[allisonrose]

Supernewbie here, here is the issue. I am doing my first burn (Cendyne DVD-rRW Model 104) and using Primo 2.0 (following the guide posted on this site) it took only about 40 minutes to read the original-but the test and record are only 20% into the record and its been 14 hours-with about another 9 to go at current pace! Is this normal? I have seen several posts where is says each phase/session will be 35-40 minutes-so I am thinking I did something wrong. Please help!

lol
u got something seriously wrong

i say 20 mins max to read

burn at 1x 1 hour for full disk
burn at 2x 30 mins for full disk

Thanks for the quick reply. So, what do you think the problem is? I followed the Primo guide step by step. I got Primo from Kazaa, maybe I should use the Nero that came with the writer? By the way I am up to 26% now. lol The strange thing is I have received no errors and it seems to be working..........:confused:

[dust2dust]

at guess id say u installed drive incorrectly

or the drive is faulty
check documentation for correct install

[dust2dust]

id abort it try nero c ifits as slow just on read will do if its as slow then its drive or install at fault
im sure pioneer a04 doesnt like new ide cabe

MY GOD MAN!! LOL, Post your computer spec's as well

I have a HP XP 1.5 ghz processor w/256mb memory and 40gb hard drive-it's only a little over a year old. Burned music cd-rs no problem last night. I'd abort but then I'll have a coaster right? I am up to 31% do you think I should just wait and see? Or is there no way this is going to work anyway? I appreciate everyone's quick responses-sorry for the trouble.

Yes.... If you abort you will have a coaster......Hell, you've waited this long, might as well let it finish and see what happens...
After it finishes, as Dust2Dust said, check how you installed and set up the drive....

Do you have the drive set as Master or Slave, is there anything else on the same ide cable as that drive?

As Dust said, reading the game shouldn't take longer than about 20min...
It takes a little less for me, but I use a seperate DVD-Rom for reading...
Burning at 1X: roughly 1 hour....
Burning at 2X: roughly 30 min.
Burning at 4X: roughly 15 min..:p (I love the A05 :D )

[allisonrose]

Thanks to all for responding. I am up to 50% now. Lol
I'll let you all know how it turns out.

Thanks

Odds are it connected to the same IDE as the HD

[allisonrose]

The verdict is in. A successful 24 hour burn! Yes it worked, but I did a second one with Nero (instead of Primo) and it took only about 30-35 minutes. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Strange, Try primo again, see if it has the same result.
BTW you probably set a record for the longest burn lol.

if prassi still burns as slow uninstall it rienstall,and update pxengine
