| 651788 | 2008-03-23 01:38:00 | I am having a hard time to get Nero (or shudder! . . . even DVD Shrink) to run with any speed at all . Trying to copy MY OWN videos into the harddrive and even onto a new empty DVD disc, it is taking forever . Where should I start looking? Maybe it would work better to create an IMAGE? If so . . . . can I then play an image as a DVD file from the HDD via my video player? I use Power DVD . Maybe I need more Vicadin to figger this out . |

| 651789 | 2008-03-23 06:03:00 | In order for you to play them on a standalone DVD player you must burn the disc as a DVD Video Disc in Nero. Also, you MUST have the correct .vob / .ifo files in order for your standalone player to be able to play it correctly. Not sure how much you know about them, but you cant just simply rename the files, they need to be converted into a specific format etc.... Okay, so, assuming you knew all that: What speed are you choosing when burning with Nero? What speed is the media rated at you're trying to burn it on? |

| 651790 | 2008-03-23 06:25:00 | I can't get far enough into Nero to get a burn...just trying to create an image makes it go nuts. Anyway...I let it run for almost three hours and when I got back it was 95% completed..so I will let it run the rest of the night. Might I have a RAM problem? |

| 651791 | 2008-03-23 06:48:00 | Have you ever been able to do it quickly in the past? What OS, what sort of CPU and how much RAM do you have? Video manipulation does put a fair stain on the system. |

| 651792 | 2008-03-23 09:43:00 | Hi SurferJoe Sounds like the DMA, (Direct Memory Access), is not enabled . If a high speed drive does not use DMA then it will never reach it's rated speed and the performance will depend on the speed of the CPU . DMA is a method of transfering data to and from memory with it having to pass through the CPU . As you can imagine it speeds things up dramatically . Here's how to enable it . (>=Click) 1 . START>CONTROL PANEL>>SYSTEM>HARDWARE>DEVICE MANAGER>+IDE ATA/ATAPI CONTROLLERS 2 . This will now expand to show PRIMARY IDE CHANNEL and SECONDARY IDE CHANNEL . 3 . Right click PRIMARY IDE CHANNEL . 4 . >PROPERTIES>ADVANCED SETTINGS 5 . In the both TRANSFER MODE boxes select DMA IF AVAILABLE . 6 . >Ok 7 . Repeat for SECONDARY IDE CHANNEL . 8 . Close down Control Panel, DMA is now enabled . 9 . Try again BURNZEE THE WAY TO A FISHERMAN'S HEART IS THROUGH HIS FLY!! |
