ok update, i burned a disc whit no other programs running and the buffer stayed full. now the only program I usually have running is grabit and it is downloading all the time. i have 6 sata ports on my motherboard. they are labled as 2_0 2_1 and so on. I have the hdd and the pioneer burner on 0 and 1. would it help if I changed the pioneer to its own channel. any ideas are appreciated

i have to go to work so if you guys need anything from me it will be a little while before I can post anything else. thanks for your help

ok here you go lightning, thanks for your time by the way. the buffer stayed at zero but the burn speed never actually dropped it just never hit the setting of 16x. here are the log and graph data. ImgBurn.log PIONEER_DVD_RW_DVR_216D_1.09_WEDNESDAY_APRIL_22_2009_9_26_AM_ProdiscF02_16x.ibg

ok give ill give it a shot and post back

the device buffer stays at 100 percent or about 98. but the buffer goes to the zero

First time posting here and also first time pc builder. I have a pioneer dvr 216d connected through SATA and I have not had a bad burn with it. All the burns whether they are dvds or dvd dl discs complete sucessfully. The burn speed whcih I usually set at 6x to be safe with most burns usually stays around 6x. But for some reason the buffer in the middle will fill up to 100% and then almost immediately after the burn starts it drops to 0 and jumps from 0 to 5. I have unistalled and reinstalled imgburn and also updated the firmware of the pioneer to the latest. Any ideas out there ImgBurn.log
