    how do I Enable "DMA" I've look at this tutarial http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/dvdguide005.html

    when I double click on primary channel, Transfer mode says dma if available
    but current transfer mode says not applicable
    its the same in both primary and secondary channels
    I'm having problems burning a movie in nero or any burning software
    should I uninstall primary and secondary channel and reboot or can you please tell me another way I can get DMA enabled

    looks like you have conflicting drivers installed

    useing default + others

    take a snapshot of the ide listings only and post here (your pri/sec and others in list)

    hmm looks like you have 2 sets of drivers installed

    all the ata ones and pri/sec aswell

    also it looks like you have 2 the same via ata channels?
    does it say anything for dma in thoses?

    have a look in via bus master ide controller too for dma
    ---------

    you mave have to uninstall a set leaving 1 set.

    I managed to burn two ISO video files using verbatim cd's, one video with Imgburn and the other with nero burning rom, both played in my pc but wouldn't play in my home dvd player, I 've burned lots of video's and cd's using the same software and media and never had a problem till now, well just a few, in the Imgburn forum I've been told I have a dma problem I have tried everything to enable dma I've googled till I can't google no more, and still haven't found a solution, in the bios the burner is set to auto which is the best setting I've been told.

    i think the same you need to get rid of some drivers

    ok do you have any Serial ATA drives installed??? if you dont uninstall all the VIA drivers but if you have Serial ATA drives leave just the SATA link, uninstall all other 3 VIA. leaving pri/sec defaults for now then reboot pc see if they come back? if when getting to desktop they try to install stop them (popups by clock)

    my settings are here...

    look in via bus master ide controller and show me what you have in there.

    there is another check to do, but we go that route after/next.

    Hit the '+' sign to see what it says for your burner.
