2. Depends on the speed of your writer and how much data you're writing.
2 hours doesn't sound all that abnormal to me if you're burning a full 4.7 GB DVD. 4.7 GB is a lot. :shrug:

If it says "2 hours remaining" 2 hours from now, you might want to start. :P

11. Nah it's half done already
It took 30 minutes to get to 25% and a further 30 minutes to get to 50% and I kinda spotted a pattern emerging. I'm smart like that you see. :D

6. No way man, in my experience that should take no more than a half hour.

And that's a really broad estimate. DVD writers are pretty fast.

7. Again, depends on the brand and how old it is.
If it's a few years old, it's probably not up to snuff with the latest and greatest.

It writes CDs lightning fast though.

16. I was thinking that too
The first one took ages too. At least it worked, though. I should count my blessings. :)

Mine isn't all that new. Got it maybe two years ago. One of the first dual-layer drives that came out. I don't even think burning a dual-layer disc took that long. Haven't burned one of those in ages though.

8. Throw some more lighter fluid on it...
You should be able to burn up a disk in less than a minute, really...

27. I thought you went to bed two hours ago.
Maybe you're just too tired to do it right. :P
