Problems with burning with a Firewire burner - Device buffer runs out

[Thyatis]

HI,

 

I am burning a iso image with IMGBURN and the device buffer on the burner never gets above 60% it continually drops down to 10 then backup to 50 then down to 10 up to 60 etc.

 

Thusly the rate will never get above .2 kb so i thusly abort the burn.

 

i have let it go for a while etc and it never gets going. Let me know ifyou need any other details.

Hard to know where the problem lies without you doing a bit more testing.

 

Can you read discs faster than 0.2x?

 

You might have massive firewire issues where all the commands are failing, i've seen that before on someone's PC.

 

You might be able to find a hotfix or something for it from Microsoft. Even a motherboard bios update could do the trick (assuming the firewire is built onto it?).

I am pretty sure it has something to do with the firewire, it is a pci express card that i purchased.

I have checked for hotfixes nothing and it loads as a NEC OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller

 

I will test the reading

Unless you can find some sort of driver update, I'd probably give up with that card and try to find another one that doesn't use the NEC chipset.

 

eBay is great for that kind of thing, you can pick them up for like £5 -£10.
