Set A Dvd Burner To Burn Faster

Setting a DVD burner to burn faster is possible if you have a DVD burner with an internal hard drive. This allows you to download the data for the DVD onto the hard drive ahead of time. The DVD burner can then record the new DVD at high speed. Keep in mind that this only works for certain length DVDs at a set video quality.


Instructions


1. Download the data for the DVD you want to burn onto the DVD burner hard drive. This can come from any number of sources. These include other DVDs, video tapes or a computer hard drive. Data can also come from a signal from a television, cable box or satellite dish.


2. Go to the record menu on your DVD burner and select "burn a DVD" or "record a DVD." It will ask you for the source for the data to burn. Select the hard drive or "HDD." Most DVD burners give you the option of recording from another source connected to your DVD burner by cables. This must be done in real time, and cannot be done faster.


3. Select the scenes that you want burned on your DVD from your hard drive. You can choose these from any of the clips that you downloaded. Edit them, then arrange them in any order you want.


4. Choose a DVD burn speed. Most DVD burners give you a choice. The more information you wish to place on a DVD, the lower the quality will be. You can actually cram a lot of information on a DVD, but it will look terrible. You can also record a DVD at ultra high quality, but you won't be able to get much on it. Most DVD burners only allow you to record a DVD faster if you use a specific speed and quality setting. This is usually 2 hours on a standard DVD. Select this or another permitted high speed record setting.


5. Burn the DVD faster. DVD burners that allow you to burn at high speed take between 10 and 14 minutes to burn a 2 hour DVD. This comes in very handy if you are burning multiple copies of the same DVD.
