LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 If the drive supports the media properly, it should take the same time as it does to burn the full disc - because that's basically what the drive is doing. The first part is a very basic bit the drive does (with % 0 - 100) before then going off to do the proper format (with another % 0 - 100). That's why you see it count up twice.
