What program do you use?

What DVD Burner?

How long does it take to burn 4.6 GB DATA to the DVD?

I'm really interested in finding out.

Nero 7 Reloaded
Samsung SH-182D
depends on media but 18X is max write speed for DVD so it would make it about 5 mins.

Nero 7
LG GSA-H10N DVD-RW
16x max, most of my media is 8x

Now that I think about it, I have no real idea how long burning a DVD takes. I've burned off a few hundred DVDs using this drive, but I never pay attention to how long it takes.

CDBurnerXP and Liteon LH-20A1P. The drive supports writing speeds up to 20x, but I usually burn at half the rated speed of a disc.
If you want the exact time from hitting the "Burn" button to the "Writing finished" message I'll post it later.

Edit: I didn't noticed it, but this was my post number 1000

I mostly use 4x (for movies or whenever I need to make 'gold' or 'master' discs, also preferably Ridata) or 8x discs (occasional movie, but mostly for data), with the occasional 12x (only for data). As such, times are as follows: 14mins, 8mins, 6mins. Doesn't matter what it is either (movies or data), or what burner.

Software wise I use Nero for data/movies, and Imagburn for ISO/image burning.

My strategy exactly...
