O.P. DVD burner and slow burnign speed
Ok

A friend of mine has been burning lot of dvd's etc.(well over 1000's disks burned in prob under 6-8months)

His dvd burning speed has dropped from usual 4mins-20mins burning time to practically 1hr.

No viruses
No spyware
Change and tried different disks.
Uninstalled and reinstalled burning software.

Can't think of anything else to try, Almost certain its the drive as you can hear it rev up as it trys to burn. as if its struggling to right to he disks.

What do you guys think?

If it was me i'd just buy another drive but i don't like telling friends to buy new one incase they waste there money.

This is just an idea but the read/write of the laser could be getting slower.

linx05, that won't work if he has a SATA optical drive.. Right? Just asking, it seems like a nice solution for IDE drives..

Uh, get some software (like Ashampoo) and then put the blank DVD in your DVDRW drive and burn? o.O

Are they commercial DVDs? If yes, then no I won't tell you.

Why?

Its like nooooooooooo your not allowed to know how to copy commercial dvds.

Do you buy all yours DVDs?
Go to cinema/movies to watch all your movies?
Never watched a video on youtube or other media sites?
Do you buy all your music?(lets not for get the mp3's a friend sends from time to time over messenger to let you listen to his fav song ;) )

How about software? you work with any images using photoshop or anything? if you use photoshop its dear piece software not many people buy it.
