shiv Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I recently downloaded ImgBurn (2.3.0.0) and am trying to burn DVD's. Used DVD Shrink to create dvd ISO image on and internal HDD and then trying to use ImgBurn to burn it to DVD+R media (FujiFilm 8X) 3 times in a row I have encountered an error. First time it was at 41% complete and second time at 38% complete. Thinking there may be an issue with the image, I created another ISO image of another content and tried to burn it to DVD. This time I got this error at 81% complete. During burning, I have noticed, once it reaches the point where it gets stuck, the remaining time starts showing 'unknown'. It is in that state for a long time (like > 1 hr or so) before the timeout message is received. Initially when the burn starts, it shows the expected burn time to be in the neighbourhood of 35 mins. I have gone thru the forum listing on similar issue. I do have an external HDD in an usb enclosure but it is not being used. I do have Nero installed on my computer. I have previously burned DVD's with 1ClikcDVD and some with Nero on the same system. I did noitice my secondary channel is on PIO only (I have an internal HDD and a DVDRW, DVDROM ==? DVDRW prb. on secondary channel). I will change that to use DMA (as recommended) and try again.

Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 DVDRW IDE 16X A179 (ATA) This is the only thing that stands out to me. Any idea who made this drive? A brandname or model number or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 It's a Fry's (local bay area store in CA) Computer FM 7750 . mentions Dual Layer 16X. Even the device manager info does not show any more info. Any idea's how to figue that out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hmm... not really. Any software used to query the drive will probably get the same response that ImgBurn did. Afterall, it's up to the drive to identify itself when asked. Pulling the drive out and having a look at it might tell you something. It might not either. I don't think I've ever seen a drive that won't identify itself which makes me curious. (Cheap Chinese knockoff comes to mind). Lightning might have a better idea of what the problem is but, personally, I'd be replacing the drive with a Pioneer 112 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 If it's estimating a burn time of 35 mins, that's about 2x speed. You should be burning at 8x so that's way to low. As such, I'd say you have DMA issue and should therefore checkout the post in the FAQ that tells you how to fix them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Thanks Lightning .. That excatly was the problem it seems . ... Once I fixed the DMA issue (by uninstalling the driver for the secondary channel), it seems to work so far .. I have burned 3 disks, one each at 4x, 6x and 8x. No write errors so far. It took under 8 mins at 8x (actually ImgBurn reached that rate at around 40% complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
