i've asked slysoft for help but they tell me that there program couldn't be at fault. My problem is if i totally wipe my computer clone dvd works fine for a few movies then it slows down. It goes from making a movie 30 min to taking 1 to 2 hours. I've even had a pro. go nuke the thing to and the same problem happened again. Works for a while then it takes for ever. please give me some help.
a) Is DMA enabled for your drives in
i)
Windows XP?
ii)
Windows Vista?
iii)
general?
b) Is the original source disc bad? If so, the reading process will take longer.
Download
Nero cd-dvd speed. It's a free program. Select the tab labeled "scandisc". Select the appropriate drive letter, and click "start". If Nero cd-dvd speed reports read errors, your disc is bad and needs to be exchanged--even if it plays fine (or your optical drive could be slowly dying).
c) Did you select an appropriate burn speed in Clonedvd? Obviously 4x is going to take longer than 12x.
d) Try another cable on the back of your burner (try an 80 wire cable if you have an ide burner). Maybe your existing cable has gone bad.
e) Try defragmenting your hard drive.
f) Ensure speed control is unchecked in Anydvd (or at least, ensure "Slow and Quiet" is not enabled).
g) Click

h) ) What blank media are you using? Specify a) brand name b)type (-R, +R, -RW, +RW, RAM, DL, etc.) c)media code, d) capacity/size, e) batch codes/serial codes (often found printed on the inner plastic hub of the blank disc), and f)country (factory information would be great as well, if possible) where the media was made (look on the physical packaging; do not rely on programs to accurately give you this information).
If you don't know how to obtain media codes, you may find the following programs useful:
