I my case it is always telling me it takes 1:25 to complete but even after
letting it run for hours does not.

What is really annoying is that I cannot even cancel the burning process.
Cancel hangs too. Using task manager or logging off does not work. So I have
to hard reset and after reboot my matrix raid runs a repair for quite a
while.

I'm having the exact same issue and I have a new Samsung with completely
up to date firmware.

It "formats" the disk and then starts to copy, it gets slower and slower
and gets to the point of telling me it will take 22 days or something like
that and after it has sat there for some time not moving I usually give up
and have to reboot.

The model id of the SATA version is PX-760SA.
As suggested I did upgrade to firmware 1.06.
Vista burning still hangs.

Have you upgrded the Firmware in your Plextor 760? I have the EIDE
model and it was on ver 1.04 whereas they are up to 1.06.

I didn't know they had a SATA version now. There's a very similar 755SA
but no 760 listed despite what it says below!

But 1.06 says:

Version 1.06

Improvement in interchangeability when using SATA controller or
SATA/USB conversion chip.

and 1.05 says:

Version 1.05

Improved writing quality on DVD media.
DVD-R DL 8x media is supported up to 8x writing
Improved writing quality on CD media.
DVD DL Stamp Disc is supported up to 16x read while Speed Read is ON.
Improved AUTOSTRATEGY function's performance.
Improved writing performance.
Added support for Windows Vista. (Testing was done with Vista RC2. Full
confirmed compatibility with Windows Vista cannot be guaranteed until
the OS is released.)

so it would be a good idea to check -- VISTA install did not recognize
my 760 until I did go from 1.04 to 1.06
