All of a sudden, slow Burn speeds...?

[jmillerdls]

I have a Pioneer DVR-108.

I have been making backups for DVDs for awhile now, but have just recently run into a problem.
I have 8x DVD-R discs that had always burnt at that speed until about a week ago, and now it will only go 1.1x at most. I use Shrink to turn it into ISO, and then Decrypter to burn the ISO. I have no idea what I can do to get the speed back up, or why it is going so slow. Any ideas?

have you (or know how to) checked IDE controllers to be sure drive is still in Ultra DMA mode?
right-click my computer, properties, hardware, device manager, double-click IDE controllers (usually secondary, but check both), then advanced settings.
current transfer mode should be Ultra DMA. if it says PIO mode, close that window, rt. click the controller again, and select 'uninstall'. reboot your computer and try again!

Your drive probably set itself to PIO mode for whatever the reason. Do as was described above.

If PIO is the problem, have a read of this -> https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=286408

It fixed my problem.
