nero: cd copy: buffer keeps running out

i used to be able to burn most of my cd's in 15 minutes using cd copy at 4x speeds. the buffer used to stay full at all times. now i notice that it runs out refilling itself each time so the cd keeps pausing the write process taking way longer to burn
i didnt make any changes to my system it just happend all of a sudden. anyone have any info on why its doing this
thanks.

How old is the burner? If you are burning at 4x I am guessing it is pretty old. Might be time for a new one.

What I wanna know is, why CD copy? Are you copying from a virtual drive or anything? Is the harddisk having a hard time keeping up with feeding the CDRW drive's buffer? (Actually, it shouldn't - not at a paltry 4x writing speed. )
Some more info about your system, OS and burning software in general, perhaps?

there are under run buffer settings you could increase it and it should work in ulrtrabuffer I sugest automatic settings but if thats not cutting it you could set it high manualy also changeing the Cache settings will help also

YSR, you mean a DVD-Copy, right?

You are right, most dvd-roms cannot read burned dvds very good (fast) enough. they often start at 2x reading which is too slow for a dvd on-the-fly-copy.

if you increase the cache to someware between 400-700mb it should be able to comisate or higher if your system can handle it
