CPU Speed for DVD-R

cactus · #1 13-01-2003, 08:42

I know this one should be easy, but I have a 450mhz computer (I know I need a new one), but the guy at the computer store said that a DVD Burner would work fine since we had the minimum speed. The way its been working is that I can only burn smaller games about 2.5 gig or less before the whole system freezes. Any idea what minimum speed I should really use? I'm using Recordnow Max and looked at Burn-Proof in the index, but I can trigger it when I'm setting up the burn. The help doesn't help too much.

Go to the manufactures website for the system requirements. I reckon ur prob is more than likely available memory. Try shutting programs down before you burn (anti-virus etc).

Alternatively, buy another memory stick, an additional 128mb would prob be enuff & you'd have change left for 12 pints, fish & chips twice & the taxi home

After a year of burning DVD-Rs with PrimoDVD and a Pioneer A03, I shuffled my trusty 128MB 450MHz Fujitsu along the desk.

No problems whatsoever with DVD-R.

Thanks guys! I have 128 megs of ram. Think that is enough? I just can't get the whole game to burn without freezing and I can't figure it out. We only have a 10 gig HD, but there's about 7 to 8 gigs available before I put a game on. Its driving me nuts! Thanks again for all the help!
