Vista CD DVD Burning Really Slow

Hi Experts,

I am trying to copy some pictures onto a CD using the built in Vista features but it takes over a day to write to a disk. SP1 improved this problem very slightly but it still takes over a day to complete. I tried Ashampoo and that works fine but took away all my burning features within Itunes,

What is the best way forward? Can I rely on Vista features or do I go third party? Can Ashampoo work with Itunes?

Thanks

When you burn things to a disc with Vista's built in burner software are you using the Live File System formatting option?
Also, iTunes has its own burning software included, so it wouldn't be using the Vista software. If you don't like the built in software, CD Burner XP (http://cdburnerxp.se/) is a good alternative.

test this writer on another PC, or just test with another writer on yours

I have tried two writers and they both do the same. They both work FINE with Ashampoo and with Itunes. The problem is Itunes loses it's burning features with Ashampoo installed.

Very strange problem!

Thanks
