LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 You already know they aren't the recommended discs. Do you have any Verbatim ones? Your buffer issues were caused by the hdd being too busy to supply a steady stream of data - and at 2.4x, it really isn't a lot! Try not to make your hdd thrash around whilst burning. Random access kills the sequential transfer rate. You have a fair bit of memory spare so perhaps try upping the buffer to 80MB or something. It'll give you more of a safety net should it happen again.
187 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 Thank you for the advice - they have the cheap Taiwanese Verbs here and the Singapore ones are impossible to find Also, this was a late night burn i.e no one was using the PC - I was in the same room! Will up the buffer to 80MB and re-try. Would Sony be any better - and do you reckon I'll need to re-flash with custom firmware via MCSE? Thanks
