CD Burner Xp - tooo long to burn

[tali1]

I have just started using CD Burner XP -which afaik is compatible with Vista.I am burning just over 700mb of data at full speed of 48x- and it is going to take over an hour to do it- surely this can't be right- as it should only be 20 mins- and i did this with windows own burner -trouble is windows wont allow over the 700mb limit - hence i used CD Burner XP - but 1hr is taking piss
Is it because it is freebie software or is the first session just the lenghty one?
UPDATE 1HR 15MINS!

Do you have any other media you could try?

Poss not much help as I have not used it on Vista but I have never had an issue on xp. That is too long though. Try on a lower speed setting in addition to the above suggestion?
