Hi, I have 2 Computers, one of them is working fine. Both I have DVDXCOPY Platinum, DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter and Nero. My older computer which is a Pentium 3, 512mb ram, 130GB Hard Drive (that I have a problem too, because the Hard Drive size is 200GB and just show 130GB), running windows XP Professional... i cannot make a copy, everytime I use DVDXCOPY Platinum about 10 minutes when is already burning the DVD media ejects and a error messege appears saying Platinum - Error Writing DVD! Please check the log file. Samething happens to the DVD Shrink I do the whole process and start to burn but no long the DVD media is eject. I tried to burn the files direct with Nero... Samething but this time I as able to see that is a buffer level and go up and down 97% and go down to 7% sometimes 5% most the times when an error occur is when is down.
I search for Buffer level and i find out that can be something with DMA. Oh boy.. the i searched for DMA and i couldn't find it on my system. I went >>>> Right click on my computer > Properties > That bring me up to System Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > IDE ATA/ATAPI controler > Primery and Secondary channels <<<< On Primery IDE Channel Properties I only have General | Driver | Details | REsources. and i couldn't find any DMA.

So that brought me no where. but when i disable Norton, and i disable internet connections on Network connecions. i could copy one or two. just dont know if the whole DVD doesn't have any bugs because i didn't whatch yet.

The DVD media ii'm using is a 16x 4.7GB DVD-R from memorex. My DVD Burner is from memorex also and is 16x double layer.

If there is any help please...

Thank you a lot.

Hi lensu, First thing to do is go back into your device manager. Find the IDE controllers again and remove them from the list. Then reboot and let Windows reinstall them. They should install in DMA mode. Next problem---Your Memorex burner drive is probably OK but Memorex blank media at present time is junk. They purchase the blanks from CMC MAG company which makes very poor quality media and brand them with the Memorex name. Try getting some TY, Ritek or Verbatim blank media. Check our Media forum to read up on the better brands. That may get you going in the right direction hopefully. Good luck.
I forgot to mention to keep your burn speed at 4X. The higher you go the more chance of errors.
