Have you recently changed your brand of 16x media? It may be a different dye type, which your burner's firmware is limiting burning to a slower speed.

"someone said to chech dma or pio, its set on dma if available,"

But what does it say beneath that. It should say in Current Transfer mode - Ultra DMA mode 2 or UDMA2.

Also don't expect to get a reply instantly. Sometimes you might have to wait 24hrs or more for the right people to come along with an answer.

Check your external drive with the computer you have the "slow" internal drive in.
If it turns also slower than with the notebook, you may have a system problem.
If it performs the same way as with the notebook, its your drive and you have to check all the definitions, starting with the one related to DMA.
This if you din't do it yet.

now its taking 26-30 min. just to encode the dvd

Oh oh... In case you mean transcoding - this is not a job for a rush.

I'll go with chef it can take upto 3 hours for mine to re-encode a video file for DVD. 26-30 mins, I dread to think of the quality.
