Yes, in task manager

Ok thanks, It's set to high by default

Hey, I was wondering what level of priority should ImgBurn be set at when burning? (Example: Realtime, High, Above Normal, Normal, Below Normal, Low) Thanks

Nevermind, I fixed a problem. I think it was something to do with Windows Vista's indexing options. I stopped it from indexing .xml files and TA-DA! Thanks for the help anyways guys

Bump!

Ok, I tried that and my disk is usually at around 10MB/sec when the burning speed is set at 12x, is this good? Also, my cpu usage is roughly in between 10-40% so it seems fine on the CPU side... Also, on the graph, there's the green plots and also the blue line. What does the blue line represent?

Hmmm, well my harddrive isn't fragmented at all. Right now i have my buffer set at 40mb... should i try 256mb? What are these performance monitors? i wouldn't know how to read it but i could screenshot it and show you the graph...

So.. any tips for me? My burning is still not working properly

Hmmm, what do you mean by changing I/O interface? I am still having the same problem, I even reformatted my computer last night #39;(

Ok, I just tried what you told me to do lightning uk. I increased my I/O buffer size to 40mb from 20mb. And then I also updated my DVR112 to the latest firmware (1.15). However, the same problem exists. Both buffers empty like crazy and then it slows my computer down like crazy! If it might help with the problem solving, I am using Windows VISTA Ultimate 32-Bit...

Both buffers empty out regularly after like a minute of burning. I will try that bustrace program when I get home @LIGHTNING UK!: How do I increase the buffer to 40MB? Also, my HDD's aren't sharing the same cable because my HDD's are SATA disks. Also, i've never tried upgrading firmware on drives before... is there a step-by-step guide I can look at to do it?

Hey guys, I just bought a new burner hoping that it would solve my problem but it did not! My problem right now is that whenever I burn a DVD, the buffers will die and my computer will slow down like crazy when I open a program. I am pretty 100% sure that there is nothing wrong with my hardware in my computer especially not my HDD's. Also, I am using Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. However, the burns do finish successfully. It usually takes like 18 minutes to burn a full DVD now which is ridiculous!!! Here's my log that I saved from a previous burn: I 21:32:10 ImgBurn Version 2.3.0.0 started!
