cd burning

i have had this problem very often and was wondering if any of you have had the same problem/have come up wth a solution..

basically i have a pbg4 with an external 8x firewire burner...

i can burn files just perfectly with toast titanium in x, but whenever i use disc burner in the finder.. it takes an eternity to burn a cd..

i jus tried to burn 10 MB on a disc and it took 15 minutes! toast takes a matter of seconds to burn 10MB.. (well.. about)

this is really frustrating me as burning with toast isnt always the fastest solution.. its not that big of a deal.. but jus wonderin..

btw -- i can burn cds fine with disc burner
