DVD burner device buffer fluctuating and really slow write speed


etc1337

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I recently bought and installed a Lite on 22x dvd-rw burner and all was fine with good write speeds and a constant device buffer. After about 5-10 burns the device buffer kept going up and down, would not go above 0.9 X write speed and my computer got really slow. I reinstalled windows and for the first 1-2 burns everything was fine and then the problem came back. Also my computer has labeled the drives backwards so the old drive is listed as the new one and vice versa.

 

Thanks alot and great program :)

 

Ps: do I have to post a log because I would have to waste a dvd-r?

You can get at old logs via the Help menu in the program.

 

It sounds like you have DMA issues. They're typically the cause of slow burns.

 

Here's the log. Ps: I set the write speed to 2 X to see if it would help(it didnt) usually i have it on max.
