thanks alot for all your help if theres anything i can help you with please let me know i have recorded 2 dvds now at 8 speed with no skipping or jumping ! great i hope it lasts

what i did was :

i changed my firmware from csoc to cso9 patched then back to csoc patched and this seems to have worked? ?????????????????

Glad I could be of some help. There is also a eprom utility that will clear the learned media area of the eprom I use it before I update my firmware. It is also on codeguys website under utilities.

whats that ? i dont understand mate i only just understand about firmware updates whats the eprom?

[Norm]

Download this utility and read the info about it http://codeguys.rpc1.org/utilities.html

Liteon burners have the abiltity to "learn" media and this improves burn quality but when changing firmware you need to clear this info basically to reset it so it can learn from the new firmware. Read this http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=112103

Re your speed - look at whether your DMA is set on all channels.

Cool and is it showing Ultra DMA with the right modes?

[Arron milsom]

primary channel device 0 (hdd) is set to mode 6
device 1 not in use



seccondary channel device 2 set to dma 2?
device 3 set to dma 2 ?

i also have a ultra sis udma controller ? i aint gotta clue what any of this is mate?

Looks OK. So, it is probably a write strategy table issue which is firmware related.

Essentially, your drive doesn't recognise your blanks all that well, and has slowed down to accommodate its uncertainty.

Check here for burner/media compatibility.
