just burned 3 coasters.
two on verbatim 16x (MCC 04) burned at 16x, both stopped at 43%
one on memorex 8x (moser baer india 04) burned at 8x, stopped at 83%
used quikee firmware on one verbatim, and LD 1.4 FAST on the other discs

both buffers go all over the place.

burning DVD video with nero.
dma is enabled.

is there a question with that, or was it just for our information?????

sorry, i'd have thought this would be BLATANTLY OBVIOUS.

can someone help me with this problem?

edit:
also just burned another coaster. crapped out at 98%

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

I JUST BURNED A DVD-R!

i downloaded the trial version of recordnow dx 4.50 and it worked
http://www.download.com/RecordNow-MA...ml?tag=lst-0-2

can this be explained?

it is a thirty day trial and i dont see where i can buy recordnow dx 4.50

how is this different from recordnow max or deluxe?

if you can give me a direct link to the product i would be grateful

recordnow dx 4.50 is old and doenst have a drivers for the 3500, but there is a patched pxdrv.dll that you can use to support that drive.

notice that this version is obselete, go check here http://w.w.w.orlogix.com/support_dow...updates&pn=rnm

you could also use ONES its a successor of prassi primo dvd/and stopmrecordnow max has many options cost are very low
its made by traxdata
there is also a trial version here is de location notice its france so use h.t.tp://world.altavista.com/ to translate it
w.w.w.traxdata.fr

i use this software very often it has many more options

i think my drive was fragmented.
