Well I have absolutely no idea why it would take so long (2 hours!).

bin2boot sucks, imo

No no, i using BootDreams (based on bin2boot). It can easly make audio/data, data(boot)/data and standard bin2boot's data/data(boot) from dir. It has also easy step by step guide - it working with 'normal' games and homebrews as well. It has auto dummy option and ip insert I using it because i cant get to work cdrecord on my PC. I tried everything :/

Two hours? I have 400Mhz processor

I use CDRWin. I'm actually using an old version that I hacked to work with my newer CDRW. I just prefer the manual way, so I get total control. Still can't imagine why it would take so long even on 400 mhz, unless you have an ancient slow hard disk. Mine is super fast because I have always had two HDs and always built from one to the other.

No. I have also fast HD (not that fast as yours i think) - 30gb Maxtor.

What OS? If you're using something older than XP (I'm not that familiar with XP yet), make sure "enable DMA" is checked for your HD in your system's device manager. I know this seems obvious, but I made this mistake. A couple years ago, my PC seemed to slow waaaay down and I didn't know why. I didn't think to check the DMA setting... it was fine last time I looked, but it had come UNCHECKED! hehe... When I finally realized this, (I won't tell you how long it took me), it was like a new computer again. lol@myself

A quick example:
* With DMA unchecked it took about 45-50 minutes to make a 670 MB iso (that was on a 1GHZ Athlon with 512MB ram 64MB nvidia geforce4 and 7200rpm 80GB HD). It also took forever to make a large dummy file.
* With DMA checked it took less than 2 minutes to make the same iso and even large dummy files only took a second or 2.

My PC is new in my room but really old: Win98, Celeron 433 PGA, 128 SD Ram, integraded sound and GFX card - SIS620, 30GB HD Maxtor. I try DMA and post results.

EDIT: Yeah you're right. I tested it with make dummy, in the same tima copy a movie with playing winamp My mouse cursor not hangs Much faster !!! Thanks.I always used DMA but only for my recorder

[Darkfalz]

DMA is good.
