I have had the program for quite some time. It's simple and easy to use, pretty fast, and the burning results are also very good. It would make a nice tool for regular copying and burning. For more tricky jobs (e.g. downloaded video_ts folders with errors), it's not as good as DVDFab.

I tried DVDFab and noticed it ran extremly slow. I have a 2.7g machine with 512m ram on xp sp2 home.

I have a nec 3500 burner, BUT I don't think I can get DMA turned on. Someone told me I need a special high speed cable from the burner to the mother board for DMA to be accomadated.

Could that be the case?

Thanking in advance.

Not fully understand your setup, but no harm trying to turn DMA on:

"Setting DMA:

Follow These Steps in WindowsXP
1) Right click the My Computer icon on the desktop and click Properties.
2) Select the Hardware page and click the Device Manager button.
3) Locate the Primary and Secondary IDE Channels, and double click on the one your hard-drive is connected to (usually the Primary IDE Channel).
4) Open the Advanced Settings page on the IDE Channel Properties window that appears.
5) Click the Transfer Mode dropdown box and select "DMA if available".
6) Click on the OK button to confirm the changes.
7) That's it, you've just enabled DMA. Depending on the number of devices you have on your system, it could be useful to do this on the Secondary IDE Controller as well, and to both devices on each of them.

Alternatively, if you find your drive is locked in PIO mode it is simply a matter of uninstalling the appropriate controller in Device Manger by right clicking on it and selecting uninstall and then rebooting a couple of times and it will then have been reset to DMA mode. Most DVD drives are UDMA2 or similar"

Good luck!
