Imperial Zeppelin

Loaded 2.0.0 the other day and while having two windows open going for two ISO burns I noticed how terribly slow things were progressing. The buffers would fill, empty and then burning would slow down to a trickle while the buffers were being refilled. I uninstalled 2.0 and reinstalled the last version of 1 with no hardware/firmware/system changes and the burns proceeded at a normal, pre2.0 pace with full beffers. Am I the only one seeing this? Anyone have a clue as to what's going on? Thanks, Zep

D'OH Did a search on EOF and came up with nothing but now I see someone else posted before. :& Zep

Major D'OH here. Flashed both drives and everything's fine.... Thanks, Zep

Learned Colleagues: I've been sitting on a few Ritek DVD+DLs and decided to break them out for SW Episode III since everyone in the household wanted to fall asleep last night with vision of lightsabers dancing in their mind. Well I had no success on multiple discs. I've tried a direct copy with ImgBurn and DVDD******er which didn't work. I made a new ISO through PgcEdit and tried buring with both ImgBurn and RecordNow and also got an error. I have 2 NEC burners and both gave me errors. My only hypothesis is that I've got a bad batch of discs, but that seems shakey. Here's my last ImgBurn log file and I would appreciate it if anyone would please advise.... Important additional note, before the "Cannot Write Medium" errors started I got another error that is not logged it said: CDB:BF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 0C 00 00 Interpretation: Send DVD Structure - DVD+R DL Boundry Information Sense Area: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 Interpretation: No Seek Complete I 05:30:12 ImgBurn Version 1.0.0.0 started!
