Hello , I am having problems with my sony burner. It seems to be very slow and my roomate told me that you can burn out a burn. Is this true at all? I am using DVD shrink and Nero 6 for my software. Any hints would be great
not really enough info. how many burns have you done with the sony? have you tryed setting your burn speed higher 4x is recommed.you might need a fireware update also.make sure your machine is defraged too and c drive cleanup.
There are many things that can cause a slow down.One of the main reasons, is that your data transfer has switched for dma to pio mode,check out this post:http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/76265 good luck jD
I checked the data transfer mode, it seems to be in the correct mode. What is that firmware you are talking about?
Go to the manufacturer of your burners website, and search for firmware.Make sure you know the exact make, and model, of your burner, as a bad flash will kill your burner.
Ok my model is sony DW D-18A. I have burned about 300 plus moives in about 3 months. I did email sony but my model didn't appear on their website. I got this burner off e-bay
