jsffm Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hi, after upgrade to 2.5.0.0 writing speed slows down from > 4x to ~ 1,3x, DMA already checked. See attached logs before and after upgrade. Regards, jsffm imgburn1.txt imgburn2.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Upload the IBG files too please. When you say 'checked', did you actually remove all the controllers as per the FAQ instructions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 ImgBurn always works as fast as your system lets it so if the burn is going slow, either it can't get the data from the hdd quickly enough or it can't feed it to the burner quickly enough. It's not the program itself. How are the buffer during the burn? Is your 'in progress' one going slow too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached a IBG file. image buffer at 100% device buffer very low what do you mean with 'in progress'? sorry, english is not my first language.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 You said you were burning a BD-R... hence it's 'in progress'. If you have no device buffer and a full software buffer then the program can't send to the drive quickly enough. Sure sounds like a DMA issue to me.

Yes, it sounds like this, but I changed nothing at the hardware during upgrade to 2.5. I deinstalled the Controller like told in the FAQ and after two reboots the device manager looks like before. I will see the result at next diskwriting, in the moment I don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Obviously I can't recommend you do that. Stick with it and we'll get to the bottom of the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Curious. You get slow speeds also when you burn DVD's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsffm Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Curious. You get slow speeds also when you burn DVD's? I can test this with a RW, also I can make a test with a BD-RW. See attached a IGB file of the old version. CPU rate during writing is much lower.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 It looks like there's something wrong with 'Verify' on both the IBG's you've attached. High CPU usage goes hand in hand with DMA issues. I have the exact same drive as you so I can run any test you do and we can compare results.

jsffm Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 I have the exact same drive as you so I can run any test you do and we can compare results. That sounds good, I have now writing a DVD-ISO to a DVD-RW in progress ;-) What I wondered is: it needs a lot of time for erasing so I think it makes a full erase. After that I will write to a BD-RE.

jsffm Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Now I have a BD-R in progress, same problem like before, device buffer low and speed at 1,2x :-( Is it possible that the new version has a problem with this media (PHILIP-R04-00)?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Nope, the dye used on a disc is not something that software has to deal with or do anything special for. Do you have any other dyes there at all? I'm wondering if the drive/firmware doesn't support the 'Verify Not Required' setting (although it's not complaining about it) and is actually verifying the BD-R as it writes - that would certainly explain why it's slow but it doesn't explain the buffer issues or high cpu usage. What speed was the DVD-RW you burnt to and the BD-RE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Before you burn another BD-R, can you disable SPTD so there's no chance of that messing anything up? To do that, open regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sptd Edit the value of 'Start' so it says 4 instead of 0. Reboot so the changes take effect and then try to burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 You could've used Duplex Secure's SPTD installer, which also has an Uninstall button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
