I'm not quite sure what you mean here, when I wrote the disk, my cpu was basically idle, I certainly wasn't seeing 90% CPU usage. Is there anything I should look at when writing a dvd to see if what you refer to is affecting me (btw, I am using a SATA disk using a sata controller card on an nforce board).
