Very slow burn speed and errors


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have never had these problems in the past with DVD Shrink and Img Burn, but suddenly I am getting very slow write rates (average of less than 1x) and I keep getting errors and the burn process won't finish. Below is a log of one of the problem sessions. Please help me. I'm tired of making Sony coasters!

Follow what this post of the FAQ says (removing controllers/etc) and the speeds should go back to normal. You might also want to burn at 4x instead of MAX.

 

 

How do I change the burn speed to 4x? I can't seem to figure it out.

Posted

In the 'Write Speed' box down the bottom right of the screen.

I looked into the DMA thing, and here's what I found:

 

Here is the Primary

Here is the Secondary

Is this what it should be? If not, how do I fix it?

Have you followed post #2 and then restarted Windows?

 

:)

Posted

So, do I just uninstall the highlighted part of this and then reboot and my computer will automatically re-install it and it will be in DMA mode?

correct

Posted

OK, I did that, and now it's all in DMA mode, so I'm working on creating an ISO and burning with Img Burn...we'll see how it goes.

Posted

OK, I got another error message. Here it is.

Now what do I do?

The log is far more useful.

Sorry...here's the log.

Is it possible that the problem is with the discs I am using? Everything was working fine before with a different kind of dvd-r. Then I got these new ones (Sony) and now I'm having all these problems.

Posted

Very possible that the burner doesn't like those discs. The Command Sequence Error can mean that.

 

Did you try another speed than the 8x, as mmalves suggested?

Posted

I changed from Max to 8x, but I haven't tried any other speed. As it is, it's taking hours for this process to work, so I don't understand what the problem is and I'm trying to get it to go faster, not slower, and without any errors.

Posted

Just tried again using a different kind of disc, and everything went flawlessly. I think my drive is an 8x max drive, and when I use 8x discs, everything seems to work, but the Sonys I was having trouble with are rated up to 16x. Do I need to try to stick to 8x discs or will other brand 16x discs maybe work?

Posted

Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden blanks should work :)

Hey...thanks everyone for the input.
