i noticed this a LONG TIME ago, and don't remember if i ever found a fix for it, but i recently wanted to start burning all the albums i downloaded to CDs to get them on my xbox 360, and ran into the same problem.
i make a playlist, put in a blank cd, hit burn cd, and it starts, and just doesn't go anywhere. you can hear the cd drive, you can see it saying Burning ((Name of First Track)) or whatever it is it says, but the bar doesn't move. and then i try moving my mouse and i notice like every 5 seconds it freezes for like 2 seconds and then starts moving again.
and if i try to cancel it, it says Cancelling burn. This could take a few minutes. and it doesn't even ever cancel. is this something with my burner? itunes? a slow ### computer? i don't knwo what it could be.

There was a version (7.2?) of iTunes that behaved this way, and upgrading fixed it.
