Hi, I have just purchased a dw1620 dvdwriter. I am using tdk -r 8x disks. Burning with dvd decrypter at max speed. The burning process starts off just fine. About 5 minuites in… the write speed drops from 8x to 4x to 2x, back up to 8x etc. The red light on the burner goes from red, to green. When looking at the the burned side of the disc after the burn process, you can see there isnt a consistant burn flow. I have tried burning at 4x speed instead and the process seems better but occasionally I get the red to green blinking than back to red and the write speed goes from 4x to 3.1…2.1 and than back up to 4x. During playback mode the dvd pauses (sort of like skips). Am I doing something wrong? Bad media? Do I need to flash my burner? Current firmware reads G7C9. Could my computer be to slow? I have a pentium 3 500. Could there be something wrong with the burner itself?
Please help as I am new to all this dvd burning stuff…
Thanks!
