Another slow write speed question


shadowcaster

Recommended Posts

I realize that this is not an Imgburn issue, but thought I may still find the answer here.

 

Imgburn 2.5.5.0

PC: HP xw4600 workstation, core2 duo @ 3.0ghz, 4g ram

C: drive @ 500gb, D: drive 1 TB with 400 gb free space

 

Mode: Build, with an SATA LG GGW-H20l 6x BD burner as destination. Source Blu-ray files/structure are on D: drive

2X write speed, UDF file system selected.

 

With Verbatim Verb-imd-00 2x,4x BD-dl 50gb media, I set the write speed to 2x and log shows successful.

However, the burn proceeds at 1X write rate. 3 times now. (before a system crash and restore from a backup,

2X worked fine).

 

CPU usage is ~6% and Page file is ~1100 (set to custom @2048-4092 for drive C and none for drive D, the source drive.)

 

Although the media is rated 2x-4x is the 1x burn still a quality burn?

 

I've read in my searching that a slower than rated speed can cause errors and jitter.

My burner doesn't support Opti Drive, etc. so I can't test.

 

BTW, BD-25 Verbatim burns fine @ 2x as well as other dvd/cd media at their selected speeds.

It's only the BD-50 that drops to the slower speed. I don't run any other apps while burning.

 

Any help is much appreciated. 3 hr burns are just a little too long.

Incidently, would creating an image file first, and then burn, help the set speed at all?

Or possibly creating a page file for the source drive ?

Here's one of a BD-25 that I tried the other day, and the write rate was correct @ 2X :
