Hi Nyrico,

We 'll need to look at the burn log...that portion where the burn process actually took place.
Don't try to copy the whole thing.
Just copy and paste a relevant portion of one burn

I use Img as my default burn engine and I recommend that you do the same, but for now please post a burn log .
Here's an idea of what we need.
The VSO log will be different

That's it, alright.

Two problems, sir.

First, the media you're using. Ritek is, at best, middlin' - and not the best media for video work. For S/L discs, we usually recommend Taiyo Yuden, and for D/L discs, Verbatim.

Secondly, your drives are running in PIO mode - the SLOWEST - go to Common Settings > General, and down at the bottom is a box to re-set DMA. Please click there and re-start Fab. Your speed should be back to normal for rips and writes.

Changing media will get rid of the freezes and other problems you were seeing on the burned discs.

Ok I figured out what you meant, I believe you were talking about the Dvd's I'm using right ? I'm useing TDK so I should use better dvd's ? Is there away to verifiy that I am now running at a faster speed ?

You guys are great, But I have to ask rather than predend that I understood the highlighted part above ....... ok you got me I have no clue what Taiyo Yunen is or Ritek I am a complete newbie. So if it's not to much to ask can you hold my hand and explain to me like a 5 year old lol please !!!

[GregiBoy]

Taiyo Yunen & Ritek are brands of blank DVD's. You are using Ritek which is generally regarded on this forum as CRAP.

I'll leave the other guys give you links to where you can buy them (mainly on-line) or also Verbatim for douuble layer disks.

I just tried what you requested, I went and re-set the DMA and then tried to burn a different DVD just to see if I did it right I'm guessing I didn't cause this is what the log looks like. I know that I am still useing the same Disk but I don't have any others right now would that make a differance ?

When I did what you asked my pc rebooted but it looks like no change.

[maineman]

You're still in PIO mode.
Go into device manager > IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers > Secondary IDE channel > Advanced Settings > select DMA

You might be better off to go into device manager
and uninstall your burners.
Reboot and windoz will reinstall the appropriate drivers.

If you still have problems, click on the link in my sig
Tips on Troubleshooting Analyzing/Ripping dvds
Scroll to near the bottom and click on the
here link.

This will open a registry patch (.VBS Script file).
Run the patch.

[Nyrico]

Thanks for the help I looked at the device manager and can't seem to see what you are asking me to do, here is what my device manager looks like. Sorry for not being able to keep up with you guys but I really am thankful for all you help !!!

[maineman]

Here's a guide with screenshots.
This should be pretty basic, but you can always just run the .VBS Script file I linked above.
It'll patch the registry for you.
If you're unfamiliar with editing the registry manually, I would not try it...just run the patch.

Anyway, here's the guide.
Hopefully, this should do it
