3)changed "writeable media dvd-5 size to 4464
4)put a check mark on "set booktype to DVD-Rom....."
On the read settings
5)unchecked "enable read-ahead.."
6)enabled "ignore all readings errors.."
None of this stuff worked though. Should I try and put these settings back to what they were now? If so, do you know what they should be.......because of course I didn't make a note about anything before I made the changes! As you can tell, I have no idea what I'm doing! |
Hi, George. Those are all good settings--exactly what I have mine set for, but they are mostly instructions for the burner and (with the exception of read ahead and ignore erors) would have little effect on the read speed. As other have suggested, Reset DMA will usually fix that. Normally, there's no need to uninstall before reinstalling with
DVDFab. And I would echo the suggestion to upgrade to 3.0.9.0 if you haven't already. The copy part of the process also will run slow if the hard drive where you have the temp folder is full (<10GB free) or fragmented. And by all means follow Ron's suggestion about the key. I email mine to myself as an attachment. Most of the horror stories about lost keys are folks who have changed email addresses since purchasing and don't remember which one they used at the time. Element5's key retrieval by email works flawlessly if you enter the right email address.
