Free physical memory: 86MB (88184kB)
Memory in use : 66 %
- As Scubes has stated, 256MB is sufficient for CD work, but for DVD work, that's insufficient total memory - you see you have virtually no free memory as it is . you need to buy another 256MB to have a reasonable/usable minimum amount of total memory, and even then you'd have to make sure to close down as much as you can to ensure sufficient free memory during the burn process

dolphyn,
My post was designed to answer your question ~

Someone told me recently that my burner is a dvd ram and not a dvd rom .. does that mean it goes off memory
If your burner does CD's and DVD's then it isn't a DVD-RAM drive. Your friend didn't know of where he spoke.

I think that is probably part of the problem. You haven't bothered to read anything to aid you.
Let's try some easy reading:
All you want to know about DVD's:
http://dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html#4.3
I've already explained to you where the "Glossary" is located, between the 2, perhaps you won't be so "dense" in the DVD department.
Also, before you begin, if you wish to make a nice DVD or CD backup then you cannot use, "any disc for any type of burn." Certain discs are to be used and certain speeds should be followed to generate a good backup DVD backup. Using just "anything" for "any type of burn" will stock you with an endless number of "coasters." A "Coaster" is a DVD or CD disc which for one reason or another has not turned out and so, is totally useless for anything but a glass holder, or as your Mom might call it, a "Coaster."

Oooppps, I almost forgot to address this ~
I hope you placed your 512MB bar in the primary slot (that would be the one your 256MB of RAM was in) then placed the lower bar in the second slot.
Because your backup was pixelated doesn't mean it is your RAM, it is probably what you're doing and what guide you're following. You need to tell us what you're using, exactly how you're using it, any settings, i.e. Burn speed, DVD Target Size, discs Mfgr and label information and who's guide you're following so we can find out why your backups are pixelating.
In the off chance you haven't found a guide yet, find some in my sig.
We don't mind "helping you out" BUT you should make a little effort to help yourself. Your "shocked" response at my post explaining the difference between drives and your "enlightened" response to Creaky's information shows that you haven't even bothered to "Google" any information for yourself. If you have no clue about searching on the Internet, I would be glad to write you a guide to help you along. You have but to ask ~
Remember, we got where we are by doing it ourselves. We've spent days and weeks reading and searching, setting aside linlks to return too for reference. We'll be glad to link you to somethings you have trouble finding ~
Meanwhile, checkout the site I linked you to and when you find something you don't understand, check the "Glossary" to sea if the information is there. That one site should answer all of your future questions about discs and drives in general.
Cheers,
Pete
