some problem of threshold

[maxim's]

Hi all,i'm a french user of imgburn who's experencing some threshold problems.Here are my system's components:

-proc: AMD athlon 64 2.40 Ghz

-motherchip: ASROCK Alive NF7g-hd ready

-2Go of ram (kingston 1066 Mhz)

-Hard disk: Maxtor STM3160211 (7200 tr/min, 160Go)

 

While i'm burning my iso files, imgburn is the only software working.

Here's a log:

Something must be kicking into action in the background that's accessing the hdd.

 

It's taking up to 8 seconds to fill the 20 MB buffer... that's VERY slow.

[maxim's]

So... what could it be ?

[spinningwheel]

I would try using EndItAll, you can find it through Google, before burning and whatever is using your hdd should stop.

[maxim's]

Thanks a lot spinningwheel, i'll try as soon as i'll come back home (which means this week-end).I'll tell you the results

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Normally it's stuff like antivirus utils, backup, defrag, indexing etc.

[maxim's]

After using enditall (I tried to "kill" as many applications as i could, following instructions found on the web) here's a new log of my burn (the disc is still not recognized by my xbox360, played as a dvd media) for the same file:

"Filling buffer" and "writing lead in" took place in the same second , that's a good point. But I still have a "Waiting for device to become ready..." message.

Anyway i'm starting to think my console is also responsible for those failures, i guess "I'm a and a bad one at that.", as you said.

14 sec is normal.
