major lag cd and dvd burning
hi all, i have a problem with my pc when i am burning a cd or dvd the pc lags alot and the dvd burn speed is affected drastically because the buffer fluctuates alot, also nero reports over 100 buffer underruns prevented 
its been happening the past few days, i have made no changes to the system in that time.
anyone know whats going on ?

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
Does your CD Burner use the same IDE channel as the HDU?
Try a Defrag of the HDD or move the temp folder away from the drive with the swapfile
Potentially you've got some bad memory I've found with this error or disk problems

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
a nice hard drive is the key to burning - if u can chuck it in a spare pc
good luck have a defrag and a fiddle with the ide channels

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
assuming you are on xp , have you had task manager up when you are burning to see what the processor usage is ?????????
when i encode a dvd using dvdshrink it is solid 100% usage , when i burn using nero then it barely uses any processor power at all

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
Yeah, check for a program hogging CPU usage (seti@home?) thats most likely to be the cause especially on slower machines.

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
maybe a silly question - apologies if you have covered this Kronas, but have you checked DMA is enabled for all your drives?
