I already posted this message here, however I did it with a wrong Subject. I think this subject is more clear. Sorry my mistake, I am a new user here ;)

Here in Brazil a LG4040b is about U$ 220,00.

Until now I just tried to burn at 2x because I have a slow Pentium III 600, with a 7200rpm Maxtor Hard Disk (running at DMA-66 in a ASUS P3W) under Windows XP.

I have tried Nero 6 (with latest updates) and I had many read errors under PowerDVD, however the discs could play right on Windows Media Player, WinDVD and many standalone DVD Players.

I tried RecordNow Max but it doesnt reconize the LG4040b unit. So I tried "burnatonce" and I got a strange error during burning stage.

So I have decided to use the Recorder Gold5 that came with my LG4040b. I learned how to burn DVD-VIDEO with it at http://www.super-klaus.de/BRG_e.htm

The discs I burned with this Recorder Gold5 played without any trouble in PowerDVD.

I think Nero6 still have some problem with LG4040b.

I just found and tested Princo4x and another cheap media with a "-A-" on the center of the disc. I burned about 15 discs without any problem. For my surprise even discs with risks under surface were able to burn and read (maybe I am a lucky guy :).

My LG4040b came with A104 firmware and I didnt try the upgrade to A301 yet. All programs I tried really reconized Princo as 2x.

My doubt is if I will be able to burn at 4x on my old Pentium III. Does somebody burn at 4x using a slow machine like mine?

I would like to known which machines (at least PROCESSOR and CLOCK SPEED) users here are using to burn at 4x with LG4040b.

I've got a Pioneer 106 & have successfully burned at 4x on both +/-R discs on a much slower setup than yours :)

Celeron 466mhz processor & 5400rpm maxtor HD running Win98SE (98lite install) & a 'measly' 128mb of RAM :)

This machine is only used for burning by me, nothing else at the same time.

How much RAM do you have.When running XP you should have 256mb for best results.Less will work though but slower and not as well.

if you are using XP you should have more than 256mb because XP takes up most of that. I am running ME with 800mhz and 256mb of ram and i have to restart my computer to free up ram before burning or else 4X takes a half hour instead of 15 min.

First of all, you could solve the problem by getting more ram installed in your system or you could get a new PC.

I can write at 4x and even at 8x with my new hacked firmware.
My system is:

Athlon XP2000 (1.67GHz) @ (2.42GHz)
1 GB of OCZ PC4000
1 x 120GB Seagate HD
2 x 200GB Weston Digital HD
ATI Radeon 9800 pro Graphics card
Lite-on DVD ROM drive
Optorite D206 +/- DVD Writer

My burner machine is also my internet access point.

Pioneer 105.
2 network cards (1x 10mbit for the ADSL, 1x 100mbit 3com to plug in to my hub).
Athlon 1200
Abit KT7A motherboard
384MB completely mis-matched cheap RAM :-)
1x8GB (yes, 8) Seagate HD
2x120GB Seagate (= 240GB spanned volume)
Unknown 8Mb gfx card (probably ATI, I forget).

It runs Win2003 server (with NAT, DHCP and fileserv) and eMule. Burning s/w used is variously Nero 6, Alcohol 120% and DVD Decrypter.

It can have its bad days - eMule plays havoc with memory usage and system cache. Thank God for burn-proof.

Beats having the 105 plugged in to my main PC._
