Write problem

[cockaleekieman]

This is the second time during the write process that i've got "waiting for buffers to recover" and "waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level" can anyone tell me whats causing this and how to rectify it. I'm using a Panasonic 50gb bd-re, i can't see any errors on verify.

It means the program can't read the data quickly enough from your hdd.

 

Are you doing something else with your C: drive that might be making it 'random access' and therefore totally kill the transfer rate?

 

If you're using a laptop, they're even worse for that kinda thing. Reading a steady 8mb/s from a hdd is NOT a lot to ask for!

 

It looks like you have enough memory going spare so try upping the buffer size a bit on the I/O tab in the settings.

The buffer size is 40 could you say how much i should bump it up to.I have just recently installed a Linksy nslu2 and added 2 external hdd's to it one is 1tb and the other is a 500gb could this be causing a conflict or just a coincidence.

[blutach]

Maybe kick it up to 80.

 

Also consider a defrag and don't do anything else while writing the disc.
