Question about adapter

[Shoomy]

I have a Pioneer 110D dvd-burner and im having problems with it
i noticed in nero in the 'choose recorder' window it says its adapter is viamraid
and i asked my friend who has a pioneer 108 and he says his adapter is atapi.


im sure that my burner is IDE.
So i was wondering maybe this is my problem?

[joegib]

Could be. Sounds like your DVD drive is connected either to a separate PCI IDE/RAID card or the additional IDE RAID channels found on some motherboards. Many IDE/RAID cards claim to be compatible with both ordinary IDE devices (H/drives) and ATAPI devices (optical drives) but some definitely don't like optical devices. The same may be true of additional IDE/RAID channels on mobos (though I've found these to be more tolerant).

If you've got a set-up like this it's best to connect optical drives to the standard mobo IDE channels and hard drives to any spare mobo channel or an IDE/RAID PCI card.

I also think you maybe using a separate PCI IDE card. Are you using SATA as that can use it as well?

[Chewy]

What version of nero are you using?
Also that drive is atapi and only connects to ide channels.

[Shoomy]

Well i found the problem and it was i had an onboard RAID

so i simply moved the burner to a normal IDE

but now the buffer is going up and down constantly - why is that?

[Chewy]

Yes, that was obvious, and whoever built your computer didn't know what he or she was doing, buffers aren't static!

[Shoomy]

I am not talking about jumps from 98%-100%

mine jumps from 19%-98%
the buffer is all over the place
not minor changes

which buffer?

burner buffer or used read buffer?(nero?)

[Shoomy]

Burner buffer

the used read is steady at 100%

[Chewy]

What speed are you burning at?

[Shoomy]

I tried x4 and x16 both show same results

[Chewy]

post a nero log, it's in program files, ahead/nero/NeroHistory.log
scroll to the bottom and copy and paste the last burn(of a dvd)

I am surprised it burns, wish Taelon was back, he seemed to like
analyzing these hosed aspi interfaces.
