It usually takes me about 10 minutes to cashe a DVD, and about 15 more
to actually burn it. I am using an LG 12X burner, but I have never been
able to get it to burn at anything over 4X. I am told the 8X media I am
using from RiData could be the problem.

One more thing of interest is that when you 'burn' a DVD it isnt really a
DVD as you know it. It is a DVD-R with data or video on it. If youre
interested in creating mass market 'video' DVDs then DVD-Rs are not the way
to go - youll have customers complain that they cant view the movie in all
players (since they are not using computers). Also - there is no way to
write the universal dvd area code as DVD-Rs cannot be written at that disk
location. Some players may not function without that set. To commercially
make video-dvds the best option is to create a master and quickly punch out
as many copies as you need - but this isnt a basement operation - you need a
factory. This wont work on dual layer disks - but you dont have to worry,
AFAIK no dvd player supports a dual layer disk anyway (except a few really
high end ones - but then there are no movie releases on dual layer disk)
