DVD burner troubles.

Hello friends,

I'm doing a favor for a friend. He has a Latitude D600 with a DVD burner. (1.6GHhz p-m, upgraded to 2gigs of ram. ) It burns DVDs fine but lately when he burns audio CDs, they skip. My thoughts are some process in the background is causing it. The buffer is up all the way.

Any thought on this appreciated. As always thinks. =)

 

Their could be a couple of things.

The discs that he is using.

The speed that he is burning at is too high for the discs.

The program...try switching.

The source for the music is protected.

Any of these reasons could cause this. If you have more info I could help you more.

 

He is using: Memorex Disks. They seem pretty ordinary.
He used Nero Burning ROM... Guess switchin gcould help
Probably is burning illegally obtained media. <<;
DVD Burner is 8x

Hope thats more discript.

 

Now...he is using CD-R's right not the DVD-R's. LOL...I have to ask, cause you never know.

If he is using DVD-R's the compression might be too much.

If he is burning on CD-R's he should have a write speed for that too. IE 48x.

 

Yes he is using CD-Rs xD!

He isn't that dumb. --Friend thwaps Niki as he noticed what she wrote about him.-- Sorry I should have looked at the CD write speed. I'm going to assume its pretty average.

 

Have him turn on buffer-underun...have it burn at a lower speed.

Also....what is he trying to play it in. Some CD-players don't support CD-R's...yes I know it is few and far between, but it still happens.

 

I'll suggest it.

Thanks for the help.

 

you could try re-installing the drivers, downloading them from the dell site...
