Ritek 4x -R only burning at 1.2x on Optorite 203

[Holden]

The subject says it all. Any ideas what to try?

I paid extra for the 4x for the time savings. I want to get it.

TIA.

I should've mentioned that I'm burning an image created by ImgTool0.90b with DVD Decrypter.

The image is on a seperate HD from the OS and Apps.

Athlon 2600 with 1GB ram.

What firmware are you using?2.16 is the latest.
Make sure DMA is enabled on all your drives and use the latest DVDDecrypter.

What firmware are you using?

I can't see how to get that info. Where should I look?

Thanks,

Go to Device Manager and select your Optorite->Properties->Settings.
Here's the firmware page: www.optorite.com/firmware.htm

Device Manager->Optorite->Properties doesn't tell me anything about firmware. I'm using WinXP. The only driver mentioned is a MS driver from 2001.

I already upgraded to the firmware that enables all 8MB of cache.

Updated firmware and changed the ATA wiring so that instead of the DVD burner connecting to a PCI card IDE adapter, it connects to a motherboard IDE adapter.

Now burning a 4+x!

Yeah!
