I used the imations I was using before and it took just as long. Could it be the updated firmware, dma settings, etc.... Anything I should be looking for would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well I cant say for sure. I do know that with Sony when I owned a DRU-500A burner they only supported certain types of media. You may have to visit their site to see what they support and try that.

Thanks for all of your help, but what it ended up being was when I upgraded the firmware, my secondary IDE channel 0 was on PIO mode. I couldn't get it to switch so I installed a little older firmware and the reisntalled byo2 firmware and I could swith the setting back to DMA mode. I no longer get the slow motion sheep writing and a disc writes in 4x in about 15 minutes with either the imation or ritek-ridata g05.

I still have not had a chance to test the dvd to see if it skips around, but when I do, I'll be sure to report.

Please do.

I'm still having the issues of stuttering on multiple stand alone dvd players and a computer with a dvd player. It is happening in the same spot in the movie on each player. Could this have anything to do with the way the image was captured with CloneDVD or the quality of the original DVD?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I should also mention I have always burned to an ISO. Is it better to burn straight from one dvd drive to the burner or doesn't that matter?

[TylerDurden]

The ISO issue shouldnt matter. I am starting to think that you may have a bad original. Is it scratched anywhere on the disc? Look closely. Or do all your movies have the same problems around the same time in the movie?
