DVD Decrypter buffer problems

[Helius]

I know this has sorta been discussed before but....with the newest version of DVD Decrypter when i burn any ISO the device buffer and regular buffer seems to look fine for about the first 10-20% of the burn but then the buffers randomly through the rest of the burn fly all over the place down to almost 0 and up and down randomly. But however my completed DVDS seem to play fine but I always with Nero never saw this , it always held a full buffer the complete burn. I've switched from Nero because the DVDs it burns wont play sometimes or have pixelization . Any help please.

stop running background programmes when burning,dont surf the net,etc.
but if there playing,theres no problem right?
you could be burning on the limits of your system/burners speed-which is probably the case

I'm not a noob as far as burning so I know not to have background stuff running, i just don't feel comfortable with my buffers dropping to 0 during a burn. I checked all the normal stuff dma etc. Buffer continues to drop out here and there during a burn.

Helius, just a question, are you using a pioneer DVDRW? I have seen buffer reporting like this on two different pioneer 108 drives, although every burn was OK.

i haven't seen it lately maybe i updated the firmware or transcoders.

more ram and a better processor,better cables etc will improve it,if its not background processes.
i just reckon that the system is a slower one,with your pc details,and thats just how it is.upgrading equipment would be the only other option,IMO.
even xp uses about 1/3 of your system resources,on idle.
you could always increase the buffer size,i think its set to 20meg,as standard,go into dvddecrypter tools,settings,I/O and increase the slider.

ok ill try that RottenFoxBreath, heh What about same tab/ options for "Interface" ASPI/ASAPI/SPTI/ etc....
and what do you have 'your' buffer set at?
BTW I'm using a Lite-ON 1693S burning at 8X. I'm assuming the Lite-ON drive is kicking it down to maybe 6X when it encounters the buffer drop cuz right at the end of the burn it shows its burning around 6x? thnx
