Are you running Win XP. And If so have you got your IDE channel set-up for using UDMA mode? (This can be found and set-up in the Device Manager)
The other thing maybe is that usually the DVD Burner is set-up on the MASTER connector (Top Connector) of the IDE cable and seperately connected from a Hard Disk Drive.

I'd guess this time includes converting the file from whatever it was to a DVD compliant file.
You don't give your PC specs, but this doesn't sound too slow for a lame-ish PC.
If you have a disc you don't mind wasting (or a re-recordable one) burn 3Gb of random data from your PC as a data disc; that won't have any conversion time so will give you an idea of what the actual buring time is.

IDE Bus Controller
Primary IDE Channel
and/or
Secondary IDE
Unless your primary 'IDE Bus Controller' reads:
IDE DMA Bus Controller.
Which means it's already set-up for both channels.

it seems about right. Mine takes usually between 1 to 1.5 hrs on a 3gb movie that has been encoded by nero.
You will notice the burning is quick quick. Next time you do one, it gives you an estimated time. Nr the end of this time, watch the progress bar. The time will disappear and then the burning will begin. Nothing to worry about.
It is only because you are encoding the movie first into a dvd compliant format.

I'm guessing that with DVD recorders the access method won't make too much difference with times in this case; PIO mode 4 allows 16.7MB per second (maximum) so could transfer 3Gb in about three minutes.
I reckon something else is going on like encoding etc.

I bet nerovision express is being used in which case it is encoding the film before burning. To be honest pio mode of udma is not going to make a massive difference with burning speeds
