question about NTI and RealOnePlayer v2 burning

[msuiter]

so i downloaded the premium version of realoneplayer v2 that includes nti buring software. i went to burn a cd that is 80 minutes long, and it took about 10 minutes with my 24x tdk burner. i'm a realone subscriber, so i'm allowed to burn at the max. using nero, i can burn the same cd in about 5 minutes.

what seems to happen is it will burn a track for a while, then the lights will go off. then it will burn again for several seconds, then go off again. i would expect this between tracks if burning track-at-once, but not in the middle of a track. the mp3s our on my hard drive, so i would expect the buffer underrun to be kicking in every 5 or less seconds.

anyone know what is going on? i wouldn't expect nero at be about 2 times faster than nti. i tried this twice with tdk media i've used with no problems in nero.

Hi msuiter,

I don't think the NTI engine is to blame for this occurance. If you'll look at the CD-R labs benchmarks, http://www.cdrlabs.com/reviews/index.ph ... erformance NTI beat Nero by a few seconds on both the data & MP3 to Audio CD test.

i just downloaded the latest of realone player plus, and still can't burn at 24x without the buffer underun technology kicking in on most of the tracks. burning at 16x is actually faster than 24x. dma is enabled on my drive and nero burns with no problems. any ideas on why the nti engine in realone keeps kicking in the buffer underun when i try to burn at 24x?
