mattstan Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Hi, This may not be an ImgBurn problem, but I'm hoping you gurus can help even if it's not. I've been using a Samsung SH-S203 SATA Dual Layer DVD Writer to write DVDs (Taiyo Yuden) with my 4 month old PC and never had any problems. I've used ImgBurn exclusively as the burning software. In the last few days I've tried to burn 3 DVDs with ImgBurn, instead of writing at 8x it's been writing at 2x, even though 8x was set. Instead of taking about 8 mins it takes about 30 mins. There's no change of drive, speed settings, verify disk is off (as uaual), and the disks I use have not changed. The only thing that may have caused this is that a few days ago I hit eject for the DVD drive when the door to the PC case was closed (that's a door that covers the whole front of the PC's case) - oops - through the air-flow gap in the side of the door I saw the DVD drive come out partially, hit the door, automatically retreat back, and then try again - the same thing happening before I got the door open. I don't see why this would now cause my burning problems; if a cable had come off or loose surely that would cause an inability or read and write - rather than just write slowly as is the case. Reading works as normal as far as I can tell. Anyone got any ideas what I should do to resolve this problem? Thanks. PS. Win XP2 SP2 - no recent changes to OS. Edited June 12, 2008 by mattstan
