DVDfab Platinum : Burn Speed problem - Club CDFreaks

blueocean · 11-06-2008

Hi,
I've been using DVDfab Platinum 4.0.6.2 for a while.
It used to take around one hour or so for all process (copy movie & burn to the blank disc)

However, for past couple months, it takes around 3 hours for all process and I wonder what's wrong about it.

Does anybody know if there are anything I can do to solve this?

I have back-up CD and I even re-install product, however it didn't change anything...

I appreciate for your help in advance.

LOCOENG · 11-06-2008

Welcome to CDFreaks....

Check your DMA.

blueocean · 11-06-2008

Thanks, LOCOENG.

Sorry I have to ask this...
How can I check DMA? and What should I do with it?

LOCOENG · 11-06-2008

Here is a nice little guide for you ~ http://club.cdfreaks.com/f61/trouble...-me-9x-101616/

DMA needs to be enabled for all IDE drives.

blueocean · 11-06-2008

LOCOENG, thanks again.
The guide is very easy to understand.

I've checked DMA and it's enabled and I didn't need to change it.

Should I disable cache?
I have no idea what I should do.

It just too long taking almost 3 hours to make a full copy.
I'd like to fix it.

LOCOENG · 11-06-2008

You have to look in two different places to check the DMA...the top window will say Transfer mode = DMA and the lower window will tell you the current transfer mode...ensure they both say DMA and not PIO.

3 hours does sound excessive, my old P4 machine would usually accomplish this task in under an hour.

blueocean · 13-06-2008

Yes, the both say DMA...
and still have problem.

Is ther any other way I can try?

troy512 · 13-06-2008

while in the hardware properties uninstall the ide controller and reboot the computer.

blueocean · 13-06-2008

Thanks, troy512
How do I uninstall the ide controller? Would you telll me where can I find the hardware properties?

I'm not computer person...
I really appreciate your help.

beef barley · 13-06-2008

Click Start / Right Click My Computer / Click Properties / Click Hardware / Click Device Manager / you will see IDE Controller. Make sure you know which one your drive is on.

*maineman* · 13-06-2008

Hi blueocean,
If you could post a burn log, it will give us some essential info and may help nail this down.
The default location is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator Name\My Documents\DVDFab\Log

In addition tho the excellent advice from beef and troy, there are 2 "DMA" links in my sig. The second one contains an article with a VBS Script file that you may have to run. The article also does a great job of describing "DMA" and is worth the read.

7thSinger · 13-06-2008

^ Agree. A log would be most helpful.

blueocean · 19-06-2008

Thanks everybody. Sorry I didn't log in for a while.

Here are recent log.
I appreciate any suggestion.

BTW, I uninstall DVDFab Platinum 4.0 and install 5.0 version. It seems like I still have a problem.

Hi again,

You're still in PIO mode and not DMA.

As described above by LOCOENG, it's not sufficient that it just says DMA if available, it should actually be in UDMA 2 or UDMA 4...probably UDMA 2 by the looks of things.

Did you follow the instructions above?
If yes, follow my instructions in post #11...click on the referenced link (Reset DMA link) and run the VBS script file.

Hope this helps...and good luck...

blueocean · 03-07-2008

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped me.

I did uninstall ide controller and it seems like it back to normal.
Yes, I can make a DVD copy in around one hour now!

Thank you very much again!!!!!
