Gear 6.0 buffer empty error?

[Kennethpi]

In the final stage of creating a DVD-R from a DVD I have been completely unsuccessful in burning the DVD-R in my Pioneer DVD-A04 using Gear 6.0. In each case I receive the following error: Write operation was not successful. The recorder reported a buffer empty error: writing stopped. The data transfer rate was not fast enough. SCSI driver error code = 02052102h. The disk is not successfully recorded.
I’ve tried burning in X1 and X2, no luck. The drive is new and works with every other writing program. What now? Is this a simple setting fix?

not too sure about Gear as i've only used older versions but is there a setting for buffer underrun protection, this should solve your problem as it pauses the write to allow your machine to catch up. Failing that give Nero or Prassi a go as they have this feature.

I've checked, there is no buffer underrun protection option in Gear Pro DVD 6.0. There is an option for Cyclic buffering and double buffering. I've tried them both and it still ruins the disk.

Try using Nero if you have it and you'll notice on the screen where you set the write speed you can set Buffer under run protection, hopefully solve your problem

Another problem for some A03/A04 users is that the drive only seems to like running in either UDMA or PIO mode, if you still have problems might be worth changing this through device manager or in your bios for the IDE connector it's on

My A03 was set to UDMA and would start writing and then error after about 10 seconds, when i looked at the discs nothing had actually been wrote to them so i changed to PIO mode and have wrote a couple of hundred with no errors.
