Troubleshooting Slow DVD Copying with LG (ATA,IDE) DVD-Raw Driver

  • Thread starter hagopbul

In summary, the speaker purchased a new LG DVD-raw drive and is experiencing slow burning speeds when trying to copy DVDs on their computer with 256 MB of RAM. They mention using Nero Es software and compare the performance to another computer with higher specs, which has faster burning speeds. They ask for help and suggest trying a freeware DVD burner software for low memory.

You only have 256 MB of memory and you are running XP? I didn't think that was possible. You probably are having to use nothing but virtual memory which is slow in comparison to RAM. The other thing you don't mention are the particulars of the DVD burner on both machines. What are their respective write speeds?

I've run XP on machines with as little as 128Mb of ram (just testing hardware). Given, it was slow as all get out, but it functioned. You're probably right about the low amount of RAM causing the slow down. RAM gets gobbled up when your burning DVDs. If the RAM get tapped out and starts to encroach on virtual memory, it can slow down the system to a crawl.
