How long should it take. It seems like it is taking me an awful long time to burn a simple game with safedisc 1.

read:40
Write:16

Writing will be as fast as usual. Reading will be slower than normal cd's due to the protection. How slow depends on what drive you use to read.

i was talking only about the writing....

well m8 that depends on the speed of your writer

1x = 150 KB/s

So let's say you've a 16x burner. A 700 MB cd would take you about: 700 x 1024 / 16 x 150 / 60 = 5 minutes

well,i burn with 8x speed and it takes about 10 mins...

It was between 20-25 all together not just burning

well that would prove my calculation then ha

16x = 5 min
8x = 10 min

I have an asus 52x cd-rom. I have a plex 24/10/40a. I burnt Maxt Payne with safedisc 2 and it took an hour and a half. I burnt the Sims and it took as long with only safedisc 1. I burnt an old game with nothing and it took 3 minutes. An hour and a half seems like a long time. Is it and if so don't just tell me, tell me how to fix it. Thanks guys

oh i am also burning on the fly and using the settings in clonyxxl. What I have burned works fine. But really slow.

I have burner and cd-rom drive on same ide channel. I think that could be the problem. Would my harddrive be slowed down if I put it on the samw channel as the burner?

first of all,what makes the procedure last for so long is the reading not the writing part.......
