kevin666 Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 i dont have any problems just it hangs when i start burning two things at once. it seems like whatever one starts doing the OPC first makes the other hang untill the OPC is done. i know i could probably just disable it but it kindof seems like a bug.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 This is a system thing and has nothing to do with the program. Are they IDE drives or SATA?

Cynthia Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Some older drives have issues when OPC is enabled and that's why that setting went from enabled to disabled by default in a fresh installation of ImgBurn.
kevin666 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Posted October 4, 2009 it works fine its just when i have 2 imgburn's open at the same time and i hit burn at the same time the one will just hang till the other finishes the opc
kevin666 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 my motherboard only has one ide plug. so because of that i have to deal with the hanging then? its not a big deal i guess. iv never had any problems execpt this. and its not really a problem just an annoyance. thanks anyways
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 They normally have 1 when they don't really have any at all - like in all modern Intel chipsets. Then they have to use a 3rd party controller chip to give you an IDE port and a couple more SATA's. Do you know what type of controller it is? The latest motherboard bios and drivers might help but IDE doesn't really like dealing with 2 drives at the same time. The OPC command isn't one that the drive returns control from instantly (known as Immediate I/O) so the machine is kinda stuck whilst it processes it... that's what you're seeing here. SATA drives would probably be the way to go but even then I can't say that I've ever tried burning 2 at exactly the same time with OPC enabled.
