CD / DVD Writing

Hi,

I have a number of issues with CD/DVD writing. My computer and laptop each
take 2 hours to successfully burn a cd or dvd. an hour and fifty mnutes of
which is allegedly copying files. This time seems extortionate when compared
to the same computers doing it in 5 minutes flat using Windows XP. Any ideas?

Same experience all through the Vista beta when DVD writing. Sometimes
burning a DVD video would take all night. I know others reported the same
thing, but we got no feedback from MS.

I have a Dell that had Sonic Studios and Nero for DVD copying/burning

Now I have NOTHING with VISTA and I am unable to find any program in VISTA
media center to even do a simple copy of a DVD.

Any ideas?

I was able to get VSO's CopyToDVD program working on one of the later builds
of Vista, but never tried it on the RTM version. You could simply d/load a
trial version of that or any other DVD program you find.
