dvd burner speed

[Keelie]

i just got a new sony dual layer dvd burner, 16x.. all it will burn is .9x which is becoming very annoying.

i have tried two different disks, and updated the driver. can anyone offer me a solution?

thanks

Are you in DMA mode?
Have you changed IDE cable?

Have you tried checking out the settings (ie. FAQ on Sony's site) for information? Are you strictly burning DL or single layer discs?

How's the CPU utilization *during* the buring ?

Are you in DMA mode?


This is most commonly the cause of the problem.

Check the properties of your IDE contoller in your system Device Manager.

If that drive is running on PIO then that needs to be changed.

Detailed information on how to do this can be found here (http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=101616).

it was the DMA mode, working great now :)

i guess this is why my old dvd burner was so slow too, geesh... i lived with it burning at 2.4x for 3yrs :lol:
