Go into device manager and make sure your hard drives are set to DMA and not PIO.

DMA allows faster transfer rates.

What kind of machine/processor do you have?

double click IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
right click the HDs and click properties
click advanced settings and make sure it's set to DMA.

Complete garbage you need a new PC.

"Complete garbage you need a new PC."
Yup.

If the DMA thing doesn't pan out, I'd suggest digging into the burning software's settings to see if there is something restricting it.

What dvd+/-r disks do you use? I don't think that Pentium 4 is a old processor, as for the shop they would say anything to you just to buy something else from them.

You don't need a new PC. How many CD/DVD drives do you have? Make sure the burner is DMA too. Some burners will burn poor quality media slow. What brand and speed are the discs?

Some PCs only allow DMA on the master drive. The burner should be set to master. You can check in device manager.
Double click DVD/CD-ROM drives and right click the burner
click properties
if the location is 0, it's master, if the location is 1, it's slave.
