mayday295 Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Hi, i have been having some problems with the "synchronising cache" at the end of multiple burns, and figured i would go here to start. I have been burning DL discs, many dvd-rs, and cd-rs so they have all been working pretty fine. However sometimes when i burn a disc, at the end it says 100% complete, but still says "synchronising cache". I decided to close imgburn the first few times, in hope it would go away and let me take the disc out. No luck. My disc tray was stuck, imgburn didnt close, so i had to power off my computer manually. When i did get the disc out it wouldnt play in my dvd player. I tried this burn several times, and in between multiple movies i kept getting the "synchronising cache" and it never finished doing so. Here is the log....as you can see i let it run all night but it still didn't finish. (also why is it buffering so much? ("waiting for device to reach threshold level")) EDIT: I am burning files from my external hardrive, via USB 2.0. Could this be the cause of my slow speed transfer rate? ; I 19:49:46 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

mayday295 Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Looks like you've got a DMA issue to me. Read the FAQ. When you've sorted that, try burning again. Burn at 8x. OK read what you put, that definetly looks like the problem, espec. cuz im capped out at 2x burn. I will go adjust all of that now, and put some more results up later. EDIT: ok i looked at the guide and checked my DMA for all 3 of my IDE ATA/ATAPI devices. It looks like all of them have DMA transfer mode enabled. So what do i do now? I will check and see if it is enabled in the bios in a bit. EDIt: ok i uninstalled them, and they auto. reinstalled. Then i tried burning again. Here are my results for my second attempt: I 13:37:04 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 What type of drive is your H:\ drive? How is it connected to your PC? Go into Discovery mode, enable 'Test Mode' and burn a DVD-R. Then copy + paste the log from that. Don't forget to disable 'Test Mode' again before you want to do another burn! That test will tell us how fast your burner can burn - as the virtual source image is created in memory. So if you're still getting buffer issues then it's still a DMA issue with the optical drive controller. If you don't get buffer issues then it's a DMA issue with your HDD (or it's just mega slow due to the interface it's on / fragmentation).
mayday295 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Ok i will try that, but first i will make sure its enabled in the bios....could you give me a little more information on how to enable it? --i checked in my device manager, and it turns out that after i reset the IDE/ATA thing my secondary one says "use DMA if available" But underneath it it says currently using PIO. So i think that must be fixed first. My H: drive is external hardrive, connected via USB 2.0 Edited October 26, 2009 by mayday295

Try to see if DMA is as they should. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=59&view=findpost&p=967 Also enable Verify until you know it works as it should.
mayday295 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 I checked to see if DMA was enabled before and there is no option to enable it, only option is use DMA if available. and i enabled it on all of them. However it shows on of the devices running PIO mode. Is there instructions for how to enable it? (i looked at that guide allready and it didnt help, i checked in bios and there was nothing i could enable.... im running windows xp on my dell dimension 2400.
Cynthia Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Might need to uninstall the controller, as described in the FAQ and then restart Windows and let it put it in DMA mode.
mayday295 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 Yes i did everthing in the guide, when i unistalled the conroller, and it found everthing again it put it in pio mode and i cant change that. (like i said, only option was "use dma if available")
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Try some new cables or something then, there must be a reason why it's being forced into PIO mode. You could also try setting it to PIO mode manually, rebooting, setting it to DMA if available and seeing if it corrects itself. Can you see anything in the bios to do with DMA when the machine first starts up?
mayday295 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 No, there is not very much information to go from, it just shows the 2 devices, and doesn't let me change anything on them. As for the other issue, could you tell me whether it was the burning running slow because of my external hardrive speed limits?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Your Discovery mode burn was also slow so it's not related to your HDD at all - although it might also have DMA issue, I don't know. Do a speed test in 'HD Tune' or something. Google for 'ResetDMA' and try running the script to see if it can fix your DMA problems. What type of chipset do you have on your motherboard? Intel, nvidia?

Thanks a lot for all your help, im glad i got this all working, and it is amazing how fast disc's can actually burn (i have never "seen" my burner run so fast) Edited November 10, 2009 by mayday295
ianymaty Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 So, tell us what was the real problem and how you solved it. Others may read this, being in a similar situation. Help them by telling the end of the story.

Help them by telling the end of the story. Ok turns out i was trying to look how to turn on the DMA everywhere (computer, bios, etc.) The only thing is that i wasn't looking to see if my dvd burner was actually on in the bios (for some reason it was always working without me having to turn on the secondary slave(etc.). So it would only show up with one dvd player. Once i enabled all of them, and found the one that was my unfound dvd player i went into (mycomputer, configure hardware) and i enable DMA on all......SUCCESS!!
