Imgburn Device Buffer Fluctuates When Burning

[Knighthawk1706]

Hi guys, when burning Xgd3 my device buffer fluctuates from 100% to 95 and then back, giving me bad results for the disc. Any advice on what could be causing this would be a big help ?, i have tryed defragging my hard drive and cleaning out temp files. My PC has 2gb of ram and is running window xp. My PC has also started to hang a bit, disabling the page file seemed to speed it up, dont know if this helps.

 

thanks

I very much doubt that's a problem or causing 'bad results'.

 

Please upload your IBG file (or open it yourself with DVDInfoPro and post a screenshot) so I can examine it.

The white line looks pretty solid to me. As such, where the device buffer is concerned, you have nothing to worry about.

 

Oh and please don't edit posts above where people (me in this case) have replied. Such changes are not obvious and I don't go looking for them.

Thankyou , and okay. I have been burning discs for a while now, at first they was okay and then they ot worse so i change setting to what you suggested and they have been fine up untill now , i thought it could be the device buffer if it was flutuating a bit. The kprobe results of the disc are attached.

The graph is better than the text file

diffrent disc but same thing , the pif max and adverage are out slightly.

That's no so bad. Maybe your next spindle of discs will be better?

[Knighthawk1706]

Yeah thats what i thought however they are the same

Well the only thing you can really try is clearing the OPC history from the drive.... but I'm not so sure it'll make any difference as you don't have a single (progressive) problem area (i.e. the overburnt bit at the layer break). It's just bad here and there on the second layer.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about the odd PIF spike, especially if it's under 10.

Okay thanks i will give that a try and let you know how it goes.

[Knighthawk1706]

Bit better results this time

 

[Knighthawk1706]

Would it be a good idea to clear the media learn on the drive ?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

'Clear Media Learn' and 'Clear OPC History' are the same thing.

[Knighthawk1706]

Oh okay cheers, any over suggestions you can think of ?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Nope.

[Knighthawk1706]

Okay thankyou for you help
