Hey guys. I need some tech support.
I own a Mac mini.
I use Roxio Toast (burn software)
Just recently my external LG DVD burner died. it was hooked up as firewire. Worked great 8X dvd+r's on a full 4.7 gig dvdr would be completed withing 6-7 minutes.
Since my LG died. I got a new external burner.
It is a FD (Fantom Drives) model# Aopen DUW1616. This unit is only USB 2.0.
So I hook up he FD to my mini directly to its USB port. Roxio detected and was able to burn and media works. The problem is thats it is sooo darn slow!! Toast says it will complete burn in like 6 min and 32 sec. Well them 6/32 is more like 24 minutes total completion to done.
So I did a little test. Pulled out dragon burn. Since dragon burn has a timer. the dvd+r that I recorded w/ dragon burn was set at 8x and it took over 25 minutes to complete.
The DVD media I am using is FUJI 8X. These are the same media I used in my old LG which worked great and burned fast.
So my question is what is the problem?? Why is my burner taking so long to burn a 4.7 DVD+R media???
Here is my burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827191011
