Hmmm wierd issue?

[lookin4yuh]

I have been having some issues when I burn movies or audio cd's. I seem to be getting skip issues with my audio cd's and freezing issues with movies. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Nero burning program and it still has the same issue. I am wondering if there is any way I can test the burning capability of my Dvd Drive.

it might be bad cd's or dvd's? you might also have a problem with your reader dvd player cd player

It isnt a problem with the cds or dvds . Is there any way to test the dvd reader?

you could run a diagnostic test on it but Im not sure it would shed light on your problem. Also try and update all of your audio and video drivers and codecs.

See if the drive is DMA mode or PIO mode: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/IDE-DMA.mspx
If the drive is in PIO mode that could explain why it's skipping and/or pausing.

They are in ultra DMA mode

You can do some tests like running CD\DVD Speed: http://www.cdspeed2000.com/

I am running the test now , but I am not quite sure what I am looking for.

Here is the report from the tests

The read speeds seem OK, the CPU useage is kinda high. Are you sure all the hard drives and CD\DVD drives are in DMA mode?

 

[lookin4yuh]

Yeah they all seem to be as far as I can see.

If you could you could try the drive in another computer.

 

[lookin4yuh]

Unfortunately for me that isnt a option.

Well you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the drives in Device Manager, just remove/uninstall the DVD drive and reboot.
