coaster Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have hoticed that imgburn hardly reach the selected burning speed with kaspesrsky internet security and avira (I haven't tested other vendors). I f I choose for example 8x speed the maximum speed I reach is 6x. The only antivirus that is working ok with imgburn is eset smart security. Is there a solution for this problem?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ok, the file shows the drive reaching 8x ok until the 1.25GB marker when it then switches down to 6x again. Notice the CPU usage is spiking a lot around this point. Perhaps you're running into buffer issues? Does the same thing happen if you try burning at 16x?

coaster Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Does the same thing happen if you try burning at 16x? At 16x it is even worse... as I said in my first post it happens with kaspersky internet security but not with eset smart security. Here are the log and attached the .ibg file.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Did you look at the buffer levels? Were they at 100% (or close to it) most of the time? It's getting up to the right speed and then dropping back down. I guess those ones just don't work on Windows 7 too well yet. You could try enabling the buffered read in the settings on the I/O tab but I'm not sure if it'll do any good. Give Discovery mode a go and see if that can burn at full speed.

coaster Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think it is my lg writer's problem, because with my pioneer the writing was ok, look at the log: I 20:32:34 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Using test mode is no good here really. If your drive is slowing down due to media quality issues then it'll only do that when test mode is off. What was the result of a full disc burn using Discovery mode? Set it to any speed you want but 16x or 18x would be best for this test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Can you try the MCC media in the LG drive please. Post the IBG's too. Better still, use 'BurnPlot' / 'DVDInfoPro' to get your own screenshots and post those up to save me doing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
