DVD Errors |
You may sometimes have a problem when writing a DVD disc. A message appears :-
Write error—buffer underrun occurred
|
Problem:
The software ran out of data while recording a track because data could not be provided to the recorder fast enough. |
| Solution: |
| Enable the Buffer Underrun Prevention feature if your recorder supports it. |
| Record at a slower speed. |
Try closing other programs.
Disable screen savers, virus software, and other tasks or applications running in the background. |
Make sure that the temporary files are created on a fast local hard disk. Do not set the location of temporary files to a directory on a network drive; set the location of the temporary files using the Options command under the Tools menu.
|
| For IDE devices that support DMA, make sure DMA is enabled. Check with your drive manufacturer for instructions on how to enable DMA for your device. |
| Do not record across a network. Copy the desired files to your local hard disk. |
| You may need to defragment your hard disk. Under Windows, you can start defragmentation from the properties sheet for any drive letter in Explorer. |
For SCSI devices, make sure the recorder and the hard disk are both configured to allow disconnect.
|
Refer to the properties sheet for your recorder and your hard disk. You can view these properties sheets by opening System from the Control Panel and selecting Device Manager.
