USB 2.0 AND 1.1 on computer makes buffer level go wild?

Hi,
The motherboard on my computer has two inbuilt USB 1.1 ports. It has a USB2 PCI Card on it.

When I try to burn DVDs, the buffer level fluctuates wildly, and sometimes the process freezes up.

I have Nero 6.6.0.1 and an ATAPI DVD DD 2x16x4x16 USB DVD writer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Suresh.

 

It happened with both 1.1 and 2.0 ports. But then I was able to resolve it last night.

I went out and got a Belkin High-speed 5-port USB PCI Card (the PCI card on the motherboard was some junk, unbranded card), and reinstalled Nero, and presto! it started working fine.

Moral of the story: Sometimes it is best to go for the best, branded items without thinking, "hey, I could get the other one for virtually free." (linux users, you listening?)

Thanks.

 

Thanks, Nephilim.
