Use a tool called Memory Turbo 2 to "stable" your ram and to cache as well. Are you enabling "BurnProof" in the write process? Be sure to close all running applications and disable screen saver too.

Thanks 4 the info shoey,as it happens,it was a config problem, 2hard drives were set as master and slave on the primary and the the dvd writer and rom as master and slave on the secondary. Put the burner as a slave on the master and it goes a treat.
Thanks

So far I've managed only coasters. Bought legit DVDXCopy at Fry's. It was ver. 1.2.2 (how old is that?). Updated to 1.5 and still coasters. Wondering if the cheapie DVD-Rs might be problematic. Tried DVD-RW and still get buffer underruns. Can one adjust for the burn speed in DVDXCopy? Running a Pioneer 104 in a new Shuttle system with 512 MB RAM, 2.53 Pentium4, and WinXP. Never saw so many coasters in my life.

I use DVD Decrypter (dvd ripper) to rip all my dvd's. It takes me 70 minutes(on the average) to do a DVD-5 (single layer), burning at 1x. The same applies to a DVD-9 double layer. Follow the guide I posted on how to backup dvd2dvd-r.

Please understand this isn't "my method" of backing up dvd2dvd-r. ChickenMan holds the copyright to that guide, and I've been more than satisfied with all the guides he provides for dvd backup& conversion. I mean no[ harm or injustice against the Afterdawn guides whatsoever. Note that just rippin' the dvd to your hd can be time consuming depending primarily on your dvd rip speed. Some are slow (2-3x), and some are lightning fast, like my LiteON LTD 165H (11-12x) dvd rip speed. Print out the guide and follow the tut step by step and burn no faster than 1x m8.

Authoring with DVDMaestro
1. Run DVD Maestro. Click on File / Preferences / Display and tick "Workspace Windows are Maximized on Opening" and then OK. Then Tick on View and select Work Book mode (all others should be ticked also). Now right click on the "Untitled1 Project" in the top left window and select Properties. In here set to PAL or NTSC and if you want subtitles to always be on, set it here also. In Disk Image, it should be set to DVD-Video Only and in Replication, regions 1 to 6 should be ticked to make it region free.
2. In the empty bottom right hand corner window, right click and select "Import Media Asset" (or just double click somewhere in the window) then browse to and select your *.MPV and *.AC3 files, then click OK. If it is an NTSC DVD your backing up, then there is probably a Pulldown_Encoded_Video_NTSC.mpv, then load this one only. It will now check your files for DVD compliance, this can take a few minutes.
3. Double click the "Movie1" in the top left window and a new window will open. There are now provisions to drop in Video tracks, Audio tracks, Subtitles and Chapters. I will call this the Timeline window. The Top line is the movies timeline. The next gray window below is where we add Chapters. The next below Larger empty line is where the Video file is moved to, The next group down is for the Audio tracks (top one is for Track 1) and the bottom group is for Subtitles.
4. Drag your video *.MPV file from the Asset window (lower right) to the video line in the Timeline window. Then drag the audio *.AC3 to Track 1 (the top one). If you had 2 audio tracks, drag the second one to Track 2. If this is not an English track, click the "en" next to that line and select the appropriate language.
5. On the bottom line of the Timeline window, change the aspect ratio of the movie to "16:9 Letterbox" (for 90% of DVD's) or "4:3" (Maestros default) depending on what your movie is. Don't select the 16:9 Pan Scan or 16:9 LB/PS option, only one of the two I mentioned.
6. To add these Chapters, right click the Chapter line in the Timeline window and select "Import Chapter List". Then browse to your *.CHP file produced by DVDDecrypter or ChapterXtractor and load it. A message box will pop up saying the number of chapters that were imported, this will be 1 less than in the *.chp file as 00:00:00:00 is already there.
7. If your adding Subtitles, right click the top Subtitles line in the Timeline window and select "Import Subtitles File". Browse to you *.SON file and load it. It will then report the number imported.
8. So now all the movie components have been added, we now need to tidy it up for proper playback. Highlight the Menu1 in top left hand window, right click and Delete it (Since we have Movie only, there is no need for a Menu but see Note 3: below on how to set up a Menu). Highlight the word "Movies" and click on the "Connection" tab at the bottom of the Timeline window. In the long box next to First Play, right click and select Movie1: Chapter 00:00:00:00. This will auto start the movie in your DVD Player. We are now ready to compile our movie to DVD structure.
9. Select Tools and click Compile (or Alt+C or click the small Barcode Icon at top). It will ask for a folder to compile to (needs 5gb of HD space). It will then request you save the Project, so do so as we may need it later anyway. It then starts compiling and createing the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders, this can take 10-15min or so.
10. Progress of the compiling is seen in the bottom left window. When compiling finishes it should not report any errors. Click Ok and close DVDMaestro.
11. Using Explorer, go to the folder where you compiled the DVD to. There will be two new folders, VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. The AUDIO_TS folder will be empty. In the VIDEO_TS folder, delete the *.LAY file as this can cause problems with Nero and some DVD Players.
12. Double click on either of the IFO files and the Movie should start playing with WinDVD or your installed player. Check it out for lip sync at start and near end. If this is out slightly, load the project file (the one you saved) back into Maestro, right click on Audio track and select "Create Audio Sync Track", highlight the Video track and click Assign Audio Track. Browse to the audio track and click OK. When asked to replace the current track, click OK. Re-compile the DVD as from point 9 above and re-check the sync. Also check that the Subtitles are in sync. If all is well, we are now ready to burn the DVD.
13. Run Nero 5.5.9.x (version 5.5.10.0 does not work!) and close the Wizard. Select DVD option of DVD-ROM (UDF/ISO) for best playback compatability. Multisession should be on No Multisession. In ISO tab, all should be un-ticked except "ISO Level 2 (Max of 31 characters)" and ISO 9660. UDF should be set to 1.02 For Label, enter a volume name, such at THE_GLADIATOR. Click on NEW button, and drag the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders from right window (your HD) to the left window (your DVD). Put a blank DVDR into your burner, then hit the small red Burn Icon at top. Select Write and your burn speed (Nero autodetects the max burn of the DVDR you have inserted) then hit Write button. It takes approx. 56min to write out at 1x a full 4.3gig to a DVDR so find something else to do for a while. 2x is 1/2 that time and 4x is 1/4 of that.
14. When its finished burning, mark the DVD with a felt pen its title and rush to your DVD Player to check it out. Sit back and relax enjoying your backup copy of your DVD.
