hi there,
my Pioneer DVR-105 burner burn 3tpro dvd-r discs in 25min, with a movie that's 2 hour long !
the preparation takes very long time in DVDA, but the burn speed is impressive and the quality seems better than with other programs I 've tested.
am I alone with these results ?

I'm not familiar with those discs, but if you are burning 4x, 25 min for 2 hours of material is about right.

I have a DVD-105 also. Preparation time is a function of the encoder (Vegas or DVDA); burn time is strictly a function of the burner (the DVR-105). The length of the movie has absolutely no impact whatsoever on the burn time. If you use 1x media, it will take about an hour to burn a full disc; 2x media takes about 1/2 hour; and 4x media takes a little over 15 minutes. If thie disc is not entirely full, the burn takes less time.

So, yes, your results are normal/typical.

With my Pioneer A05 it takes around 25 minutes or less to burn a full disc (4.66 GB) using DVDA and Fuji 2x media at 1x speed. Verbatim 2x takes around 5 minutes longer at 1x speed.

Craftech,

If you are burning a full disk at 1x in 25 minutes, you either don't have a full disk, or you are burning at 2x. A full disk at 1x is going to take an hour. It HAS to take this long because that is the simple physics of the spec. I suspect DVDA (or whatever you are using to burn the disc) is sneaking around behind your back and really burning at 2x.

I always click 1x when I burn. Not sure what's going on then?

For me, DVDA burns at max speed with my Pioneer A05 regardless of what speed I select. In fact, it burns Ritek 4x DVD-Rs at about 5x speed. The discs seem fine, so I haven't been worrying about it.
