why not use ImgBurn instead. Its free and works everytime.

That's what I use. Is it normal to take 1 hour and 30 minutes to burn?

My Guide..
STEP1: Create Image from an original game
For creating a legal backup of your original game you need to go to your local PC-Store
and get yourself a SAMSUNG SH-D162C DVD drive or a Samsung SH-D163A DVD drive
which should not cost more than 20 - 30 US$.
After flashing the hacked Firmware by KREON you will be able to dump XBox360 games
to your PC.
- Download Kreon's hacked Firmware for Samsung SH-D162C drives by clicking here. - or -
- Download Kreon's hacked Firmware for Samsung SH-D163A drives by clicking here.
Flash SAMSUNG SH-D162C or SH-D163A hacked Firmware:
this step only has to be executed one time because the KREON Firmware remains in the drive
forever or until you flash another firmware into it.
- make sure there is no CD/DVD inside of the drive!!!
- start (doubleclick) sfdnwin.exe
- select your Samsung drive from pulldownmenu: TSSTcorpDVD-ROM SH-D16....
- at the top left click "DOWNLOAD FILE OPEN"
- select file: SH-D16.......XB360_KREON_....bin
- at the top left click "START DOWNLOAD" (button in the middle)
after successfully flashing the drive you will receive the message: "DOWNLOAD OK!! RESTART WINDOWS."
Reboot your pc. You can now use the drive for making legal Xbox-360 Backups.
Create Image:
- Download Schtrom by clicking here.
- start Schtrom
- insert XBox-360 game into the Samsung SH-D16x drive
- in the first pulldownmenu select your Samsung drive (TSSTcorp....)
- below enter the path where you want to save the image to.
- let the TASK field stay at default: whole disc (stealth xtreme 3.0)
- click EXTRACT using your left mousebutton
- reading the complete game takes less than 10 minutes.
- Schtrom creates a file called IMAGE1.000 and a file called IMAGE1.dvd
- the IMAGE1.000 file is our complete image.
- no need to take care of the Securitysector here because Schtrom extracts it in one go and saves it within your IMAGE1.000 file.
You have successfully created an XTreme Image. Now proceed with STEP 2 to finally make it compatible to the NME-360 Chip.
STEP2: Convert XTreme Image to NME-Format
If you have downloaded your backup from the internet then it is in most cases an XTreme Image if not stated different.
In case the download is stated as NME-compatible then skip step 2 and proceed with step 3.
- open the NME aSSociat0r (download here) - .net Framework 2.0 required which you can download here.
- click the CONVERT Tab
- select the XTreme iso (IMAGE1.000 if created by yourself using schtrom)
- hit the big CONVERT button
- after 2 seconds the image file is fully converted to NME-format.
- the image must now be exactly 7.705.657.344 Bytes of size. (in KB it is 7.525.056)
STEP3: Burn your backup
Open ImgBurn (download here - it's free)
At first we have to feed ImgBurn the correct layerbreak information. This has only to be done once as it saves this setting for future use.
- Go to TOOLS -> SETTINGS
- within the tab WRITE go to OPTIONS - Layer Break (for DL Media)
- click User specified
- enter 1913760 and click OK
Burning the game:
- in the mainscreen of ImgBurn select your image file
- click write to burn your backup
That is the guide I used and folled to the tee.
I burned Tony Hawk Project 8
My burner is a Pioneer DVR-110D
My reader is a SH-D162C It took 1:45 to create the image
My log showed the burn speed at MAX.
Thanks for the help!

It took 1hour 45 minutes to create the image, that is very long as well.
are you sure your drives are still in DMA mode (not PIO)?
What brand of DVD.
something is wrong,

My Burner was in DMA mode.
My reader was in PIO mode.
Should it have still taken 1:45 to create the image?
