Degraded speed using 1 CDR and 1 CRW in 1 Computer ?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

Dear Friends,

(Sorry this is nothing to do about VCD, but hopefully someone can help).

Strange enough, before I can do copy VCD "on the fly" perfectly. But after one day my computer crashed, so everything was re-installed, now I can not do the copy on the fly.

I "TEST SPEED" with Nero, my Creative 48x CDRom drive's speed degraded start from 16x to only 6x ! (It didn't even start with 48x).

But testing my CD RW 8424 Yamaha, Nero did exactly 24x transfer rate.

I put my CDR on Primary Slave and the CRW on Secondary master. Have tried either enable or disable DMA, but nothing happened, in fact CRW will become unstable if I enable the DMA. Have tried also put the CDR on Secondary Slave.

Motherboard I Will BD100 Plus, 20 Gig Barracuda Seagate Hard Disk, Pentium II / 450 RAM 128 MB.

I hope any friend can help me, and I'll be very thankful and really appreciate it.

Regards, Sunar.
