help with imgburn

[proboller86]

i have just downloaded imgburn and think its good so far. the only problem i am having lately with both nero and now imgburn is that the device buffer is jumpin from around 80% to 90%. It used to be at 100% all the time. it is also taking the dvds longer to burn. Whats is this and how can i fix it.

[soup]

DMA, check blu's sig.

[proboller86]

i have done that before but will try again.

[blutach]

And don't overuse the PC while burning.

Regards

[NightTran]

my device buffer always jump between 85 to 95 which very normal to me, the other should stay at 100 until close to the end then it drop down but I use the old imgburn

[proboller86]

i hardly ever use the computer when burning unless i absolutley have to.. and if it takes longer than normal when i do i just reburn and don't worry about it. i am doing th e DMA thing know will report back.

[NightTran]

yours should be fine, I would not worry about it

[proboller86]

ok so i did the DMA thing and the percentage is higher like 90%-95% but still takes about 40 longer than what it starts out saying. I guess untill they start making coasters its okay then huh?

[NightTran]

post your log?
