powadha Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I'm getting a lot of errors during burning. It slows burning down quite some bit. This is the (part of) the log: I 15:07:33 Source File Sectors: 2.272.480 (MODE1/2048) I 15:07:33 Source File Size: 4.654.039.040 bytes I 15:07:33 Source File Volume Identifier: NIEUW I 15:07:33 Source File Application Identifier: NERO BURNING ROM I 15:07:33 Source File Implementation Identifier: Nero I 15:07:33 Source File File System(s): ISO9660; UDF (1.02) I 15:07:33 Destination Device: [1:0:0] _NEC DVD_RW ND-3550A 1.06 (E:) (ATA) I 15:07:33 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: MCC-004-00) (Speeds: 2,4x; 4x; 6x; 8x; 12x; 16x) I 15:07:33 Destination Media Sectors: 2.295.104 I 15:07:33 Write Mode: DVD I 15:07:33 Write Type: DAO I 15:07:33 Write Speed: MAX I 15:07:33 Link Size: Auto I 15:07:33 Test Mode: No I 15:07:33 BURN-Proof: Enabled I 15:07:34 Filling Buffer...

cornholio7 Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 which errors? Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level ? its not an error , just info .you can disable it in settings . maybe your hdd and burner share the same cable?
volvofl10 Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 and if you slow your write speed down from MAX to say 12x , this will probably stop the info messages. in other words, your HDD cant keep up with the supply of data the writer is demanding

I 15:07:34 Filling Buffer... (20 MB) Increasing your buffer size to 40 or 80 MB might help. Try slowing down the burn speed. I never burn over 8x. I burn 2.4x Verbatim MKM-001 at 2.4-4x. I burn MCC 03RG20 at 4x in my NEC ND-3540A, because that gives the best results. You might also try tweaking settings like a fixed page file size and defragmenting your hard drive. What was the average burn speed?
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 I'm getting a lot of errors during burning. It slows burning down quite some bit. This is the (part of) the log: As the guys have said above, it's not actually an error. It's your harddrive being unable (for one reason or another) to supply enough data to your burner to get a consistant high speed. Whether it's from a highly fragmented drive, sharing an IDE channel, a dodgy ribbon cable, a slow harddrive or something else is anyones' guess. Slowing your burn speed down will fix this. Whatever the problem, ImgBurn is reporting it - not causing it. Have a poke around inside your PC and have a look how everything is connected.
