authoring DVD. Speed up the time?

[Guest]

I've got a 29min movie which I saved using PapaJohn's Custom Profile. It's
728MB and is better quality than if I saved it as an avi.
I use Nero and have no problem burning a DVD. It takes about 20 min to do?
Any way I can speed up the process? I need to make a quantity of them to give
out.

Thanks!
Catharine

===========================
That sounds relatively fast to me.

Are you burning each one from the
original file or are you simply copying
the DVD? (I'm thinking copying may
be faster)

Copying will be faster, or making an ISO image of the dvd then using that
to burn from.
Buying discs that support a faster burn speed, buying a burner that supports
faster burn speeds, buying a dvd duplicator will also all help.
Be aware though that buring faster is not always great, high quality discs
will make a difference to quality.

Thanks for your help! I have a 20x DVD burner. I did find that copying
through NERO's software does cut down on time. I'm planning to have it
professional copied but for now I need to do about 20 copies and I wasn't
clear on how to speed up the process.
I have lightscribe but I don't think it's worth it.

thanks for all your help! I've found these forums very beneficial and I
tried Pinnacle and Correl and adobe and I much prefer Movie Maker!
