Nero Linux 3 Buffers - Club CDFreaks

yodog · 02-05-2007

The levels of "Used read buffer" and "Buffer Level" during the DVD record process are oscillating a lot!

Much more then the Windows counterpart (Nero 7) in the same machine.
For example the Buffer Level reaches almost 30%

in Nero Linux 3, but in Nero 7 never gets below 90%...
Is this indicates a possible problem or we can live with that?

**mathf** · 02-05-2007

This might indicate that the burning speed is too slow for the source data. You can make a performance check before burning to adapt the burn speed.

yodog · 05-05-2007

What's the procedure to make a performance check in my notebook? Is there any tool to accomplish this task inside Nero Linux 3 or I need to install something in my system (Ubuntu 6.06)?
Thanks in advance!

This feature is already in nero linux.
I think it's the first action as you can see in the picture (well.. it's in French in the jpg

)

Well, I’ve tried to burn even in 2X and got the same result… Buffer Level floating like hell!!! From 98% to 6%. And the only program I had running on my computer was Nero Linux 3 beta.
Is it possible to increase buffer performance and stability?

**mathf** · 16-05-2007

Could you get a logfile of the burn process so that we could deeply check what happened?

How can I get this log? Is that one Nero generates in the end of process and asks if I want to save in a file? I mean the window that pops in the end of burning process?

**mathf** · 16-05-2007

Yes exactly!

yodog · 16-05-2007

Here is the log file. Unfortunately I got a bad recording... The data verification failed...

Just to add more information, during this recording process the USED READ BUFFER quickly fluctuates from 100% to 97% and the BUFFER LEVEL fluctuates from 98% (never reached 100%) to 38%.

Hope this could help.

**mathf** · 17-05-2007

If the 'Used Read Buffer' never go down to 97%, your data speed is definitly high enough. The buffer level indicates the recorder internal buffer level...
Have you ever used the same media? I mean not the medium type, but the medium manufacturer...

yodog · 18-05-2007

Well, I tried several DVD brands/manufacturers and usually I get the same result... Heavy buffer fluctuation, but just on Nero Linux 3...
In fact this is just the second disc I lost, but both were recorded using Nero Linux 3...
Is there any other information I can provide? Do you have any idea about what is going on? If it's a hardware failure, OS misconfiguration or a software problem?
I'll try to burn another disk and post the log. Hope this next recording process runs flawless.

RyosukeFC · 18-05-2007

I was having a similar/worse problem with the NeroLINUX 3 beta. I had a spindle of TDK branded DVD+R media (medium grey Sharpie-intended surface), and in Windows the discs would burn flawlessly, but with NeroLINUX 3 beta, the hardware buffer would remain moderately stable, but the software buffer would just start draining, and never fully recover until the buffer underrun protection kicked in, and refilled it, then burning would resume and all would be well. I've never had a failed verification (this is a new drive, Samsung "SH-S183L" SATA Lightscribe 18x, replacing my worn out NEC ND-3500A), and K3b burns the same media without problems. So I thought it was just NeroLINUX 3's fault. Which is probably true, because I just bought some HP Lightscribe DVD+R blanks, and aside from making awesome labels, they also burn at 16x with no buffer trouble at all. Perfectly flawless burn (as far as I can tell), and good labels to boot. It's just weird. I can give you a log dump if you want, but another thing that caught my eye is that with the grey TDK media, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way into the burn (maybe around 28% or so), NeroLINUX 3's CPU usage would peg at 100% and stay there for the rest of the burn. But it only does it with the grey TDK media. I've run several control tests, and no matter what else is running, the HP discs work as expected and the TDK ones have trouble (but don't fail verification).

Any ideas?

**mathf** · 18-05-2007

Is k3b burning your TDK discs at the same speed as Nero Linux is doing? I just saw that you have a 18x DVD burner... This high-speed _might_ be the problem...

yodog · 25-05-2007

Well, using Nero Linux 3 FINAL (demo) I got a much stable burning process. The first DVD I recorded went flawless (see Log.txt) and the BUFFER LEVEL never went below 65%. It seems the problem was solved in the final release.

Just to add more information, during this recording process the USED READ BUFFER quickly fluctuates from 100% to 97% and the BUFFER LEVEL fluctuates from 98% (never reached 100%) to 38%. Hope this could help. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Log.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2C83-731K-10E5-477X-4063-CX2C-**** Linux 2.6.15-28-386 Nero API version: 7.5.14.2 Using interface version: 7.5.0.2 Installed in: /usr/lib/nero/ Application: Nero AG\Nero Linux Internal Version: 7, 5, 14, 2 Recorder: Version: 1.50 - HA 0 TA 0 - 0.0.0.0 Adapter driver: HA 0 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

The buffer level indicates the recorder internal buffer level... Have you ever used the same media? I mean not the medium type, but the medium manufacturer...

yodog New on Forum Join Date: Jul 2006 Posts: 22	Re: Nero Linux 3 Buffers Well, I tried several DVD brands/manufacturers and usually I get the same result... Heavy buffer fluctuation, but just on Nero Linux 3... In fact this is just the second disc I lost, but both were recorded using Nero Linux 3... Is there any other information I can provide? Do you have any idea about what is going on? If it's a hardware failure, OS misconfiguration or a software problem? I'll try to burn another disk and post the log. Hope this next recording process runs flawless.

RyosukeFC New on Forum Join Date: May 2007 Posts: 1	Re: Nero Linux 3 Buffers I was having a similar/worse problem with the NeroLINUX 3 beta. I had a spindle of TDK branded DVD+R media (medium grey Sharpie-intended surface), and in Windows the discs would burn flawlessly, but with NeroLINUX 3 beta, the hardware buffer would remain moderately stable, but the software buffer would just start draining, and never fully recover until the buffer underrun protection kicked in, and refilled it, then burning would resume and all would be well. I've never had a failed verification (this is a new drive, Samsung "SH-S183L" SATA Lightscribe 18x, replacing my worn out NEC ND-3500A), and K3b burns the same media without problems. So I thought it was just NeroLINUX 3's fault. Which is probably true, because I just bought some HP Lightscribe DVD+R blanks, and aside from making awesome labels, they also burn at 16x with no buffer trouble at all. Perfectly flawless burn (as far as I can tell), and good labels to boot. It's just weird. I can give you a log dump if you want, but another thing that caught my eye is that with the grey TDK media, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way into the burn (maybe around 28% or so), NeroLINUX 3's CPU usage would peg at 100% and stay there for the rest of the burn. But it only does it with the grey TDK media. I've run several control tests, and no matter what else is running, the HP discs work as expected and the TDK ones have trouble (but don't fail verification). Any ideas?
