so you have to do it in 3 minutes? or verify manually?
-
you would see something to this effect if you have usb2 on any usb port
adapters are cheap and make that older laptop usable
test the external on someone else's computer before the return date expires, might be a good drive
I wouldn't even bother with a dvd burner in a laptop, if they do burn ok, they break sooner
-
welcome tothe forum
might be the drive
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=181030
or the blank
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia?dvdmedia...=INFODISCA10%20
probably a combination of the two
try a verbatim or taiyoYuden regular dvd+/-r

I read that thread earlier
I removed Roxio completely.I can't update the firmware because Samsung says that it does not support this device. HP-Compaque must have received a shipload of this burner for next to nothing!!!
I know what we would do before we pull and pitch the drive, but it would be in the interest of science and breaking things
-
it's your laptop, external drives do awful when they are using usb1 interface?
in device manager under usb you would see an enhanced controller if you have usb2?
-
those oem's won't take the generic firmware with binflash
-
which is the generic tosh/sam firmware
and is probably safe to try as long as you don't use the crossflasher sfdnwin (with nocheck)
-
there is an SCO2 firmware but it might not go into your drive if yours is OEM
I did a search on that crossflash, a mod fried his burner over at cdfreaks using non uniform(different size) firmwares, one person was going to try it with same size firmware but hasn't reported back
very iffy
-
that drive is sufficently old that comcrap/hp should have released a firmware upgrade by now, maybe if enough people
rma'd the drive they would wake up
-
welcome to the forum
make sure they play first off the hard drive(software player)
but here's an excellent guide for beginners or wookies
-
Using a new 80 conductor cable is also a good idea, there's usually something not quite right when a drive starts dropping into pio mode.
-
I have only had that error once, but it was due to a partition/drive that I let get too full and badly fragmented.
Just to be safe I moved all critical data off that drive, since it was a small partition I reformatted slow ntfs, been fine ever since
Does the video play off the hard drive?
-
What is the problem?
imgburn does not read commercial protected dvd's
-
try a data cd(imgburn build mode) with a 700MB avi, if your player is newer and divx/xvid compatible?
-
a burn log?

what a nightmare, hard drives should never share, unless they are never going to used at the same time(talking to each other)
If I have 3 pata dvd burners in a computer, the 2 which will be used for on the fly are going to be on seperate ide's.
Your new computer needs to be benched by something that taxes the cpu/memory bus and is not bottlenecked with disk I/O.
try a video compression test from hard drive to hard drive on seperate cables
you won't read a dvd much faster than 5 minutes no matter what, hard drive to hard drive takes about 2 minutes for a little over 4 gigs, but fast memory or fast cpu is not needed
convert an avi to mpeg2 or try a 55% compression of mpeg2 and then your upgrade will slaughter your older computer
3dmark and aquamark are fun to run also, then you get to see video components having a play
-
a 700 MB avi is usually burned to a blank cd not a dvd
now 6 of them would fill a single layer dvd
-
any thoughts LuK?
-
and the conclusion is ritek d01 is very inconsistent media, bottom of the barrel
repeat test with verbatim

You are using the oldest firmware, amazing that it worked at all
BYX5, but don't try 4X dl burning
wait a minute, it didn't get this part right?
Media Type: DVD+RW (Disc ID: MKM-001-00) -
I wonder if the filter load order tool will even work?
with 670MB in use, no telling what's going on?
-
Found 1 DVD-ROM, 1 DVD±RW and 1 Unknown!Destination Device: [0:2:0]
wonder what other software causes this?
-
I don't agree, it's most like a sony sonic conflict, assuming his clean installs were just putting all that crap back on his
hard drive fresh
messed with fixing some of those vaio's for a while, ended up wiping them and installing a clean copy of xp
you would have to clean the filters and the registry then install imgburn
Time to buy a new drive?

I use only hacked firmware if it's available or needed? That's one of the reasons I avoid pioneer, their crossover firmware is a little too complicated, too many steps. I did that with my older benq 1620 oem to enable quality scanning, crossflashed a pioneer is still a poor scanner. If I had one I would probably leave it alone and just use it for dual layer burns.
