Hi All Yes here is another dreaded newbe with a dvd burning fault, I have been using nero express 6 for about six months and run windows xp. I have been burning dvd's for ages which have previously taken about 28-30 minutes and then suddenly it seems to have stopped burning at 2x and started burning at 1x, I have not changed any of my settings and can not work out what has happened. I have been reading through other forums for about two days and trying to sort for myself to save wasting anybodies time but have come to a complete standstill and really need help. I am sorry if you feel I am wasting your time but can honestly say that I have read over in detail similar cases. Many Thanks For Any Replies Adam
Check and make sure you are still in DMA and have not switched to PIO. Look here. http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/DMA.html
the impotent thing is about being it'll accept, is it will never seek an answer me or Oscar me cuz oof the misspull,
Hi thank you for your reply I have checked my drivers in device manager and they are all set to dma, just in case i unistalled all the drivers and rebooted still no difference?? Adam
What is the make and model of your burner, have you updated your firmware recently, because this can make a difference in burning. Look on this site and check for your burners firmware, http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php you can access your version through the Nero InfoTool :~)
Hi My dvd burner is as follows TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R6112 this is a built in burner on my laptop. Computer Spec EiSystem Intel Celeron Processor 2.80 GHz. 256 MB RAM. 40 GB HDD. Hope this helps. I went to this page as suggested http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1603 but really dont know what I shold be downloading or clicking on. Adam
Hi all has anyone got any more ideas its getting more and more frustrating an hour to burn a dvd its painfull to watch. Please Help
Ram is kind of low, try to provide a Nero log of your burn. Look in Nero and then history. Try and shutdown as many running programs as possible when you burn :~)
Ok I dont mean to sound stupid but could you explain what you mean when you say look for history in nero how do i go about doing this thank you
Hi when I go in to ahead I have lots of folders come up all to do with nero for example cover designer, nero startsmart, nero, I have also have folders named the same but i brackets next to them they have a number two again example NERO BACKUP (2). Where do I need to be going to find my last log? When I click on folder named nero loads of files come up? Adam Still Smiling

hi, arniebear pointed me to this thread, i'm chucking your logfile into notepad....back shortly ps arniebear i like the way you did a piccy of the nero folder and the txt file, it looks real smart!
Thanks, creaky. I have searched on this drive, and Toshiba is showing that it only writes at 2x on DVD-R media. Here are the specs on the drive. http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/Index.asp?page=PFT&nav=ISH_PRS But see if you find anything else in the log :~)
- that's real old by now. i'd get an update. Plus any reason for using express ?. a lot of us use nero burning rom (i don't really know the difference except ppl often say that burning rom is better). - this firmware is up to date, however it's now 2yrs since this firmware was released, so newer media that comes out may not work in your burner. However for now you're ok as your burner & Nero know what media you're using (Fuji) - close more background apps/processes down as you're in virtual memory territory, ie virtual memory is a portion of hard disc, and your hard disc will be 'swapping' ie hard disc churn, which will affect system performance and dvd burning too as you're trying to burn a dvd from hard disc too. Bottom line is 256MB (especially under XP) is just not cutting it anymore. Try to get more memory. - if you use dvd shrink, make sure to set target size (in shrink's preferences) to 4300MB therefore avoiding the very outer edge of discs. This burn obviously is way away from the edge anyway, just thought i'd mention it in case you didn't know, for other burns.. - plus your Nero is real old now - here's how one of my burns looks re this section of logfile - 'Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB)' 'Last address to be written: 2142127 (476:01.52, 4183MB)' - there you see in megabytes easier. that particular burn was only 4183MB but it wouldn't go above 4300mb cus ive got that limit set in Shrink. - 'fraid i don't know much about Fuji discs
