Everything had been working fine up till a month ago.
I use DVDShrink with Ahead Nero Express 5.5.10
Along side I use DVD Region + CSS for decrypt debugging
I once had Nero 5 running and I uninstalled it using the Nero Uninstaller Tool. It gave me the option of removing everything that had to do with Nero. I said yes to all.
Soon as I uninstalled all Nero words, and Nero apps, this is when I started having the DMA problems.
SO....
I uninstalled DVDShrink, Nero, and DVDRegion
Reinstalled DVDShrink, Nero Express 5.5.10, and DVDRegion
Everything seemed to work fine for about 2 months, then I started experiencing very slow burns. Like 40 mins - 4 hour waits for ONE dvd to copy and burn.
So I did some research, and read up on checking your dma settings in Device manager.
So I did. Both the primary and secondary IDE controllers were set to Dma if available.
(keep note, that in device manager, they never went to PIO mode)
So I uninstalled the Primary and Secondary devices and restarted the computer
They were found, reinstalled, checked settings, both set to DMA if available.
Went to relaunch DVDShrink and same thing. I now dont even get a chance to even burn ONE dvd anymore before it starts to slow down again.
Before it would work up to 3 dvd burns, then after the third dvd, it would poop out and start running slow again.
If this helps, here is my results from bringing up my DMA settings in DM
=======================================================================

Well, I restarted my computer and tried again to burn a simply dvd I have and now its like DVDShrink wont even try and burn.
Soon as I click backup in DVDShrink the program freezes and 5 minutes later it comes up saying its going to take 4 hours for the backup to complete instead of the usual 22 mins.
