Cynthia Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum, RevanKnight! A log from one of those burns could perhaps give some clues. Can you post one of those? You'll find them here: Main Menu -> Help -> ImgBurn Logs

Seems your hard disk is slowing the process down. Do you use the computer while you burn? You might want to have the Verify option enabled, to see how well the burn actually was.
mmalves Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Until you try with better media, such as Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden blanks, it could be that the drive is slowing down the burn to keep the quality at an acceptable level.

LOCOENG Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 :If i put max speed to burn... maximum speed obtain: 12x ... when i put 16x ... i only end with 8x You can select what ever speed you want, but your drive will limit the speed to what will burn your disc for the best quality as mmalves stated. The drive also doesn't start burning at the maximum speed, it has to build it's way up to the speed you select and then depending on the limitations of your system/drive/firmware/media will continue to the speed you selected.

Nothing... I constantly give mantaince to My Pc, and i have only 25 enought running process....
volvofl10 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 just because your discs are seen as 16x by your drive it does not mean your PC specs is capable to actually write at 16x do you have anti virus running in the background ? something is hogging your free memory when the following happened, it took 40 seconds for the hdd to recover, so "something" is slowing the burn down W 23:16:28 Waiting for buffers to recover... (LBA: 2161120) W 23:17:10 Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level...
dontasciime Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Check your hard drive for errors make sure you hard drive is using dma and has write caching enabled then defrag your hard drive. Stop anything from accessing the hard drive at time of burning, like an anti virus scan spyware scanning, downloading from newsgroups/bittorrent/irc/etc. Some of the Lg drives I have never get to max speed on lots of media cos they are crap and the drive is crap.

I dont use antivirus... but my system send all process activity to the RAM, maybe for this i have 50 mb of free memory ... but my pc ... run fast with 50 mb or 400 mb free ...
dontasciime Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 have you tried anything suggested to try and fix it ?
blutach Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Have a look at your firmware's speeds using media code speed edit. Regards
RevanKnight Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 I can't change any value. And on the first look any is right.
