jvmartins Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 hi, after installing the pioneer 215-D i try some burns, first started with a normal dvds 4 gbs and only for testing i try burning at 8x, but i realize that a normal 4 gb burn take always 20 minutes burning even selecting 4x 8x 16x ... always take 20 minutes to burn. i strange the fact and then try to burn a DL first started 2x and everything came good, buffer level, device buffer always at 100% or 99%, then try burn a DL at 4x and 8X and different result, always take 40 minutes to burn and the device buffer always jumping and not stay stable, very strange.... the fact i came to conclusion is that I can only burn at 2x this burner is a sata burner so i think that the dma problem doenst apply here but for confirmation i confirmed and DMA is ON in both hardrives Already try burn with nero and imgburn and same thing happens, the device burn is always jumping to 32% 24% 100% 29%, always irregular, the levels stay regular only at burning 2x DL The burn always complete ok, at 2X... but never occurred a error during a burn. I don't know why but i think its a problem relation to to my motherboard and some incompatibility. my board is a Asus A7V600-X. SO any ideas i can resolve this thing and finally burn at the speed i choose? thanks in advance, any screen shot or information u need just ask. here it is a log from Imgburn trying to burn DL at 4X: I 14:39:00 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Have you actually tried uninstalling the controller from within device manager as per the instructions in the FAQ? 'Looking' at the current DMA value isn't enough - Windows lies. Don't forget SP3 has been out for XP for ages now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Install the latest VIA Hyperion drivers and reboot. By the way, I also have the Asus A7V600-X motherboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Try using DVDInfoPro and DiscSpeed, but I'm not sure Pioneer burners are reliable scanners You're lucky you're not using a Samsung SATA burner with the Asus A7V600-X motherboard: you wouldn't be able to update the firmware, booktype +R media to DVD-ROM or read/change the MagicSpeed setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
