Queen Maro Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Greetings, I know this is technically impossible like LIGHTNING UK! says "The burn quality is nothing to do with the software being used" but.. I have confirmed it with 35+ DVD+R (Verbatim 8x), same charge, two DVD burner (NEC 1100a & NEC 4570a, with newest firmware), burning speed 2,4x and 4x, same video raw files (*.ifo, *.vob): DVDs burned with ImgBurn often show drop-outs, flickers or hang-ups when playing them (Sony stand-alone player). DVDs burned with NERO 6.6.x.x are all flawless. It is impossible but I double checked it several times! Some facts I detected: - things get worse when burning with 4x (and even more with 8x) - most drop outs happen within the first 10min or the last 20min of the DVD - with ImgBurn it seems (when listening to the DVD burner) that during LeadIn an LeadOut the DVD+R is rotating quite fast... - could there be a different DVD burner drive speed control (ImgBurn vs NERO)? Could anyone confirm this behaviour OR give me any hint what to do? [btw: no time-consuming background processes are running, but even then NERO should suffer more ] Thanks a lot q. maro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Nero defaults to using the 'Incremental' write type I think, try using that option in the settings within ImgBurn instead of SAO/DAO. Are your buffer bars at 100% in ImgBurn throughout the burn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Maro Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks for the quick answer. Nero defaults to using the 'Incremental' write type I think, try using that option in the settings within ImgBurn instead of SAO/DAO. I will try 'Incremental' write type BUT Nero uses 'Disc-at-once' write method (greyed out when burning video DVDs). Might need some weeks before I can post reliable results though #39;( Are your buffer bars at 100% in ImgBurn throughout the burn? buffer is 99.8 to 100% all the time... Still looking for anyone to confirm this behaviour (otherwise it might also be my own fault...) Btw.: I am using 'ASPI - WNASPI32.DLL' interface. Might any of the other options 'ASAPI', ... solve my problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 What Nero says and what Nero does are two very different things SPTI is default, don't change from it unless you have good reason to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
