Hello,
I've got a problem with the burn process on this 105.
I am using record now max, i dont have a dvd-rom so i use the copy option and pull it onto the hdd with the 105.
When it's in i replace the film with a blank, at the moment i'm using Datawrite yellows, which are Ritek G04'S.
Normally it should take 15 or so minutes.
The problem is the writer stops during the burn, on average about 7 times, so from taking 15 mins it now takes 55 mins.
Also, when i check device manager>IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers>Secondry IDE channel>properties>Advanced settings
It should be set to Ultra DMA....but it has changed to PIO??
Re-installing the Secondry IDE channel cures this.

My system specs are;


Win XP Pro sp1
Duron 800Mhz
80Gb Maxtor Diamond
512mb DDR PC2100
MSI GeForce4 MX440 tv-out
Asus A7N266VM
Lite-on 12x
Pioneer DVR 105

The Hdd is on Ide1 as master, on it's own.
The Pioneer is on Ide2 set as CS,with the Lite-on 12x set as CS.
Now obviously it goes without saying that the CPU needs upgrading, but somehow i dont think thats where the problem lies.
I have tried using different media also, but this does not make any difference.
Whenever it's done this, if i leave it alone and wait, the films are unwatchable.

If anyone could offer any help on this, i'd really appreciate it.
The coasters pile is growing, and at £1.30 per disc, i can't really afford to make any more.

Thank you.

Come on fella's, any help at all would be nice

Datawrite yellows are not very good quality IMHO. This could be your problem.
