HI FOLKS,
I WONDER IF ANYBODY IS ABLE TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM PLEASE.
MY LOCAL STORE SUGGESTED THAT I JOIN AFTERDAWN AND TALK TO THE REAL EXPERTS!.
ANYWAY, I HAVE A MAJOR BURNING PROBLEM..
FIRST OF ALL I HEREIS THE SPEC OF MY PC.
I USE WINDOWS 98SE 40 GB HDD WITH ALWAYS AROUND 10 OR SO FREE. RAM IS 512MB AND I USE USB2. THE BURNER IS CONTROLLED BY NEROS LATEST OEM PACKAGE.
MY BURNER IS THE IMATION EXTERNAL MODEL DVRW16E-3MONTHS OLD-CAPABLE OF BURNING DVDRW'S UP TOP X4 AND DVDR + OR - AT UP TO X16
SO, PLEASE COULD YOU HELP DIAGNOSE WHY IT TAKES FOREVER-MINIMUM 2 HOURS TO BURN A FULL 4.5GB OF DATA ON A DVD+R-BURNT AT X8 . WHEREAS
IT ONLY TAKES 15 MINS TO BURN THE SAME CAPACITY TO A DVDRW- AT X4!!!!.
I HAVE TRIED BURNING THE DVDR AT X16 BUT NERO SAYS THE SOURCE DATA IS TOO SLOW.
BOTH DISCS ARE IMATION WITH THE + SYMBOL.
SOME POINTERS BASED ON MY CURRENT SETTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
WHEN I INSERT A NEW UNUSED DVD+R IN THE BURNER IT IS RECOGNISED AS AN AUDIO CD?!
IN CONTROLS>DEVICE MANAGER , BOTH BURNERS ARE RECOGNISED-IE THE CD INTERNAL AND IMATION CD/DVD EXTERNAL. ON THIS NOTE, IN SETTINGS IF I DO NOT UNCHECK THE AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION BOX ON THE IMATION1 THE NERO SOFTWARE WILL NOT RECOGNISE THE DISC AND WILL CRASH THE SYSTEM. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IF I AM BURNING DVDRW. SURELY THIS ISNT RIGHT?
2) IN ' MY COMPUTER' WHATEVER DISC I USE, - DVDRW OR DVDR-EMPTY OR OTHERWISE ARE ONLY EVER RECOGNISED AS HAVING 1.99GB OF TOTAL SPACE?
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP SOLVING THIS. NERO JUST ADVISED ME TO DOWNLOAD THEIR LATEST SOFTWARE, WHICH I HAVE DONE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.
THANKS AGAIN,
STEVE KNOTT
