Not_Over Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Hello, Sometimes when I'm burning files or folders*** in Build mode (.avi videos for example) the burning speed starts to decrease till it reaches 0x. At this point if I move my mouse the burning process continues (the speed increases back to 4x), but also I think that if I don't do anything the burning starts again after some time*. The burning process sometimes pauses like 3 times and this causes the burning to take much more time. I haven't noticed any pauses when ImgBurn is verifying the files. The interesting thing is that the verification does not find errors and neither do I since all the videos** are playable and don't seem to have any lapses. Can you tell me why this is happening? *because sometimes when I get back to the PC I see the speed increasing from like 1x to 4x when there has been burned more than 50% of the files. ** when I burn other things like .rar/.zip files or any other files I find no errors or problems with them. *** When I burn DVD's I leave my PC alone. I even disconnect the internet and close any program that might "steal" resources from ImgBurn. OS: Windows 7 64 bits Drive: LG GH22NP20 Firmware version: 2.00 (the latest according to the updater which supports Windows 7) DVD's used: DVD-+R Verbatim Thank you for your help ImgBurn1.log Edited December 28, 2009 by Not_Over

Your hard disk can't feed the burner fast enough. But that's weird... I have the same PC since May and this only started to happen weeks ago. Is there anything that can be interfering?
Cynthia Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Perhaps the hard disk is stuck in PIO mode instead of DMA mode. http://club.myce.com/f61/troubleshooting-enabling-checking-dma-windows-vista-xp-2000-me-9x-101616/
spinningwheel Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Also, when is the last time you defragged the HDD?

Also, when is the last time you defragged the HDD? I have a program that keeps defragging my hard disk whenever it is idle. So I don't think that's the problem.
Cynthia Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Check so that it's not the defragger that starts at the same time as your burn.
