its was by mistake sorry

It's actually the drive's EXACT-Rec technology limiting your writing speed. The only thing you can do is try other media.

Do you have DMA enabled?

.sorry about the thing just before,,.. yes i checked the dma and its enabled... :-?

Then it is probably the media limiting your burn speed as Ian suggested. What discs are you using, brand and speed?

MINA LIFE cdr-r80 80min/700mb 48x

by **cfitz** on Mon Mar 10, 2003 4:28 pm

Never heard of them. Do you have a link to them? Where are you from, and what other brands are available to you?

but i use them because they are kind of cheap you know

but they used to work just fine on the LG 40x-12x-40x gce-8400b
i have these types availabe
optispeed
data life
imation
and some other kinds but cant really remember..

by **cfitz** on Mon Mar 10, 2003 4:46 pm

Try the Verbatim DataLife and the Imation, and see if they do any better for you.

By the way, are you aware of and using CD Speed (www.cdspeed2000.com) for help with testing?

No, as I said before, its EXACT-Rec doing it.. not BURN-Proof.

by **cfitz** on Mon Mar 10, 2003 5:26 pm

No, it isn't the buffer underrun protection that is causing this, and you definitely do not want to disable buffer underrun protection. As Ian noted, it is EXACT-Rec that adjusts/limits writing speed in order to make better quality burns. You can trust Ian. He knows his stuff. After all, he founded this site and writes most all of the reviews here.

There have been a surprising number of posts from your neighborhood lately. It's good to see.

Careful.
The Imation CDrs in Jordan are probably made by CMC.

by **cfitz** on Tue Mar 11, 2003 12:28 pm

My experience is that most, if not all, Imation discs are made by CMC these days (of course that could vary in other parts of the world). But Imation's CMC discs seem to be one of the better grades of CMC. So, lacking anything better to try, they are worth a shot.
