Takes forever to burn a DVD

A simple project: make a DVD-R consisting of just two 20-minute wma files, unaltered in any way by me. Took about three hours to burn it; plays perfectly.
Software: Roxio Creator 8 Suite Home, v3.0.0. After burning, DVD is closed, so nothing more can be added to it. The "verify data written to disc after burning" box is not checked.
Burner: Lite-on sohw-1633s (nominal burn speed, 16x). Device Manager shows the driver to be a standard Microsoft one, dated 11/14/99. Lite-on has a firmware update dated 12/16/05 that I have not installed yet.
Computer: Processor - AMD, about 1 GHz); 512MB.
OS: W2K, SP4.
I've looked for hidden settings in the Roxio program that may affect burn speed, but can't find any. Any other ideas for speeding things up? Burner records CDs at a very good speed (over 24x, even though Roxio reports target speed as 48x).
Thanks,
Ray
