I've been trying to back up my photo's recently and noticed that instead of the usual 10-20 minutes of burn/verify time per DVD. The media is rated at 16x, I've been selecting 8x or 12x but it's it's still taking over 50 minutes to just burn the data to disc.

I checked my controller channel device 0 DVD tsst corp SH-182M, it says access mode multi-word DMA 2, not sure what it's supposed to be set at, the chipset is Nvidia NF4 ultra, drive is primary master and one device on that channel Any ideas on how to get this thing working up to speed?
