Well! It seems Konqueror is the problem. I went into Gnome and used Nautilus and the write was extremely fast. I'm not sure what file "browser" is available in KDE. Any guidance much appreciated. Thanks, Keith Nathan Aubrey wrote: I believe K3B does a complete format every time you burn a R/W/ dvd so you might look into whether it is formatting or not, because doing a complete format of a DVD can take a LOOOOONG time. Also, set your speed on the burn dialog, make sure DMA is still enabled and you should be good to go. Also, when you burn the disc the first time, make sure you select multi-session in the burn dialog. If you are NOT using K3B then you should be using K3B!! --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss Keith Smith A link from my website to yours Submit Your Metro Phoenix Website --------------------------------- We won't tell.
