My daughter has a Pinoneer '105' model in her G4 tower and keeps
complaining to me
how slow it is when burning DVDs. Her long jobs are usually
'overnighters'.
Just curious how much faster this '110' model is - compared to her
current drive.
The Pioneer 105 DVD-RW drive takes apox 12-15 min to burn a full
DVD disk using DVD x 4 media. So if it takes over night don't blame
it on the DVD burner! Software or a too slow CPU is the likely
reason. So buying the fastest DVD burner isn't going to be the fix
your hoping for. Will S
Her G4 Sawtooth has > 1G of RAM and fitted with a Sonnet Encore 1G
processor.
She uses iDVD & Tiger. So why can't I blame the drive?
OK, I exaggerated with the word 'overnighter'. It still takes HOURS
to burn one DVD.
One thing I could have her change next time she burns DVD - to choose
the max rated speed.
I was told (or read somewhere) that selecting a speed LESS than max
gives you the best results and
minimizes corruption. Did I get this right? Go ahead and laugh. It's
good for your heath.... ;)
