Could this be a drive issue instead of a k3b issue? Does it play dvd's back at regular/expected speed or are they choppy. It could very well be that if you're using the ata_piix module for the drive, that you have to add some options to get it to perform properly. I had to do this on my dell 9300 laptop under c5, but afterwards things move pretty smoothly. Burning the c5 dvd takes about 2 minutes. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
