Copy Data Disc

I'm just trying to copy a data disc using the "Copy Disc" section of Media Creator 10 and my discs are 16X speed. I made sure the discs are rated at 16X and when burning a DVD from a file it runs at .9 speed and now that I'm coping a data disc its running at .68 speed.

 

Why is this? The reason I got this program was to speed up the burning process from the 7.5 version I had previously. The 7.5 version copied faster than this one!

 

I'm running a dell Dimension E510 with XP media edition and service pack 3.

 

Can you help me to make this program burn faster?

OK!

The bios are updated to A07

and the DVDRW is updated!

 

Now what is next?

 

Maybe I should uninstall the primary IDE that is still set on PIO and reboot again? I'll go for it and post up what happened.

 

Well, After doing that in the second primary IDE Channel, both Device 0 and 1 are now on PIO on current transfer mode. I changed the transfer mode to DMA.

 

Now what? Its getting late on Christmas day. Anyone still out there?

 

I'll hang out another hour and then try tomorrow.

I was trying to cope a disc DVD+R disc that had a bunch of school work files on it and I was trying to make a second copy for a friend and it would only copy it at 0.87X at the most.

 

So this has nothing to do with copyrited stuff unless its my copywrite!

 

I was trying to do this with the disc to disc copy.

 

Are you saying that even when I need to burn a straight copy of data from disc to disc I need to put it on my hard drive then copy it to a disc? Roxio 7.5 wasn't that way!

Yes, I was only suggesting another way such as copying the data disk to your hard drive that might get you to the finish line.

 

Have you tried to burn something else to a CD or DVD that did complete sucessfully? Sometimes the physical media is the problem. You might want to try Verbatim media as it seems to work better than most.

I do have a disc that has movies from a weekend goldwing get together on it and if I use MY DVD and copy it to the hard drive then use COPY and CONVERT. The movie is 90 minutes long. It took 93 minutes to put it on the hard drive and another 90+ minutes to put it on a disc. Don't you think this is a little long to be copying a home video?

 

I've checked my discs and they are fine but I do buy the cheap ones.

longhaireddwb,

 

you have some problem that won't let DMA reset using the normal way it does for 99.9% of pc's out there. Your best bet would be Dell or a local PC shop that can physically touch the PC. I think it's some kind of hardware failure but I can't poke it with a stick to find out!

If you can't keep your drives in DMA mode then things will be slow. Try one more time to put your drives in DMA mode, reboot and make sure DMA is still set. If the COPY process still takes 90 minutes then you probably have a harware problem. Excessive errors will force the controller to PIO mode.

I checked the DMA thing as you said and that is the way it is set. I didn't have to change anything there.

 

Do you have another idea?

 

 

No drive writes at .9 speed and .68 speed, with DMA enabled, click on #3 and READ/CHECK it again!

CDanteek: I rechecked everything again. I have two primary IDE channels and one Secondary and all three of them are set at DMA if available in both windows. I then uninstall the IDE controller and rebooted. I checked everything again and they are still set at DMA if available. I tried to burn the same data disc again and its burning at 0.87X.

 

So do you have any other ideas?

Go here http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com/

 

 

And download this free program.............dvd identifier version : 5.0.1 date : October 14, 2006

 

Download it unzip it and install it. Put one of these DVD's that burn at 0.87 X in a drive, then open dvd.identifier. Click the Identify button on the right side, then click the copy button on the right side. Have a reply post open here and right click paste from the dvd.identifier, copy.

 

Should look similar to this.

They may be set at DMA, if available, but what is listed for Current Transfer mode, below that? It should be Ultra DMA Mode 2, 3, or 4. If it reads PIO, then you have a problem, and CDanteek has given you the fix.

What GPB is trying to explain, in the pic below.

 

Your Ritek 16X media is so so do you have any other to try? Could you borrow a different brand/make of disc or two from a friend?

This how all three IDE channels are set.

 

 

That is your primary IDE Channel with a Hard Drive on it. Not the Channel with any DVD Drives on it!

 

Show me the other two.........

Now its even worse. I can change the Transfer mode but not the curent transfer mode. I'm not going to do anything until you tell me to.

 

I really thank you for all your help.

 

 

What did you do? Did you uninstall it like I told you to do and reboot?
