  1. get the OS and drivers loaded, and possibly windows updates, main for sure apps then defrag and make a drive image

     

    restore points are fine but soon lost

  2. I did a strange test, I had a dvd I had burned with Imgburn earlier, I had imgburn read the disk and start writting an iso, after it got started I opened my computer and clicked on the drive and disk, which starts power dvd, it started playing after a small lag and imgburn was reading away, I cancelled both since it was only a test. Only possible scenario and a crazy one at that.

     

    During a burn the drive would be locked, or let's hope so.

  3. cath,

     

    there's all kinds of "other devices" that make the computer work, you are using windows xp sp2 right?

     

    it's not a good idea to start anywhere below that

     

    proper order is load xpsp2 then load any driver(preferably from the mobo's web site or in some cases from the actual chipset maker) or if the mobo is newer use the cd that came with it.

     

    those chipset drivers that support the northbridge and your video should be loaded BEFORE the video driver for the vid card

     

    other device, just means windows doesn't know what in the hell it is

  4. when I read your posts over at digital digest I kept thinking why is he even fooling with dvd dual layer?

     

    compressing over 5 hours of video down to fit a single layer wouldn't be something I would want to attempt

     

    however the obvious solution is to divide the video into 2 parts and burn to single layer

     

    noone should complain about changing a disk in a 5 hour marathon of home video, if they do I will be glad to tear their arms out

  5. - or, maybe there's some harsh gag order and it's illegal to even talk about talking about what I asked for, and the only permitted reply is "search google". I'm being serious -- the law can be pretty draconian in this respect.

     

    that's become a fact of life in a lot of forums lately

     

    even "use google" might be a dangerous reply

     

    of course people have a hard time with the concept and/or meaning of the word No.

  6. I would favor sony dl MIS over verbatim dl MII, tho both should be some of the best compared to any other available

     

    there have even been samples of maxell? MIS mkm's sent out, looks like verbatim/mitsubshi is making some for other brands now that production in India is starting

  7. make sure the dvd burner is connected to an 80 conductor, jumper it as master and connect to the end of the cable with no other drive connected to the ide cable or the power connectors from the power supply

     

    verify in bios and device manager that dma is set for the drive correctly
