SATA DVD-RW DL Burner

Computer Hardware
#1

I have a question: can you set the DMA on a SATA DVD-RW Drive. this is a fail log for nero 7 and it states that the DMA is off on the Pioneer drive. is this causing my coasters?

this has been troubling me for sometime and I can’t seem to find the answer why I continue to make cosaters and NOT DVD+R DL’s movies.

here is the entire fail log for tonight:

Which chipset does your SATA controller have? DMA not enabled shouldn’t cause coasters and should only result in slow performance, and I don’t think SATA drives have DMA settings like PATA drives do. There’s a good chance it’s a chipset problem if you don’t have either Intel or Silicon Image chipset. You may need to either get a PATA drive or PCI SATA adapter with Silicon Image chipset since many chipsets don’t work correctly with SATA optical drives.

#3

which chipset are you talking about ? the MB is a GIGABYTE M61P-S3. the manual states that there is a nVIDIA GeForce 6100/nForce 430 Hyper BUS.

[I]NVIDIA® GeForce 6100 / nForce 430
The brand new NVIDIA® GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 MCP (Media and Communications Processor) features CineFX™ 3.0 Engine. This unique combination of MCP creates a single motherboard featuring a world-class DX9, Shader Model 3.0 GPU for faster and smoother game-play, a high quality video processing engine for advance quality of video and DVD playback.[/I]

now, I’m wondering if I should’nt have connected the DVD+RW DL to the darn thing in the first place. I connected it to the IDE channel.

Your problem is most likely the blank media that your using, the MID code is Ritek S04. If you put a blank disc in your drive and run the Nero program “Nero CD DVD speed” and look under the ‘disc info’ tab it will tell you what speeds are supported for that disc.

hey Eric,

thanks for that information, I thought I had everything done. here is the information that Nero CD/DVD Speed gave me. can you make heads-or-tails from it.

The only DL media consitently recommended is Verbatim. All others should be avoided.
