What on earth is going on there?? 1 hour is about the time it takes to
burn a CD at 1x speed, so there's obviously something going wrong.
There's a couple of things it could be,
1st are you getting buffer under-runs? (so it has to use the
burn-proofing?) that would probably take up time.
Next are you creating an ISO image or running it on the fly? (if
you're doing it on the fly to take 1h 15 at 14x you must be getting a
lot of under-runs), if you're creating an ISO image how long does
that take before it starts writing the CD? If its taking a long time
that could be the problem.
As for a soluting, give it more Cache, both disk/ram and add some
buffers to the partition you're using.
As a matter of interest my cheapo x8 CD-RW on my PC takes about 15
minutes to write a whole CD, writing at x14 should take about 7-10
mins.
See ya :)
