I beg to differ with you on this....the media might still be expensive
(about $3 per disk).....but the Dual Layer drives - while being fairly
price competitive with standard writable DVD drives, because they are
fairly 'new' usually come in the QUICKER speeds 8x+

Give that you're trying to write ALOT of info - that just takes time,
but the drives are by no means slow!?

Maybe I just misunderstood you.
