DVD burning problem

[soso]

I've recently been having problems burning DVDs - I use DVDshrink and the encoding part goes fine but the burning seems to always fail. I've noticed that if I use rewritable DVDs it works, so I'm thinking the burning speed is the problem... am I right? what can I do?

post burn logs?

Welcome to the forum

I didn't save any of the error messages, but I'll try again and post them...

What program are you burning with? If it is Nero then click this thread.

Update Nero, try 6.6.0.18 , And see this http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...threadid=49635

[soso]

ok thanks, I'll try it out

[Chewy]

dma is off and needs to be fixed

http://winhlp.com/WxDMA.htm

[soso]

I checked DMA and it's set at DMA if available, I was told this was ok... am I wrong?

[Chewy]

nero says your burner is running in pio mode, it's usually fairly accurate,
more so than people are

if you look further in device manager you can confirm

[soso]

I don't know what to say, I just checked again and it clearly says DMA if available. maybe there's something I'm not getting, I'm new at all this and not a computer wizard at all...

[Chewy]

what does it say under "current transfer mode"?


if you read the link you will understand

[soso]

looking in the first primary IDE controllers, it says not applicable for device 0 and 1, in the 2nd first primary IDE controllers, it says ultra DMA mode 5 for device 0 and not applicable for device 1. However, in secondary IDE controllers, there is one place where it says PIO only instead of DMA if applicable, should I change that one?

[soso]

I downloaded the nero update that shrink0 suggested and reduced burning speed to 2.4x and it worked!! chewy, should I still look into this DMA-PIO issue?

[shrink0]

Yes!!!!!!
sorry chewy I jumped in......
