DVD read Times

[DPG Terik]

I have a Plextor 12X DVD burner. When I use CloneDVD2 to read the DVD to the hard drive it takes about 35-40 minutes to create the DVD files and create the ISO image. Is this about right. I keep hearing people say that burned 5-6 DVDs in an hour. I can only get one an hour really. Total time to read to ISO image and then burn to DVD is about 45-50 minutes.
Is this normal or should I be concerned about my burner that I have had about 3 weeks.
Thanks

More than likely youll need a hacked firmware. Most dvd burners/readers have a set read limit of 2x, thus you can only read a full dvd at about 30-50min. Hacked firmwares take off this limit and other things. You may wanna look into them.


Im reading, shrinking, and burning movies in a grand total of 30min flat.

By the way do you know where I might find a film ware hack for the Plextor Burner?

So far the only thing I found for your drive is a "Region Free" firmware update.
