@bblinn - cool. it would be nice to get your DMA sorted on your Matsushita (can never spell that). Nice choice the Verbs, seem to match the Sony well.
Hi, I think the DMA is only off on the CD-burner, ie. the drive I am reading from? The SONY DVD-burner I am copying to is external and things go wrong when actually burning? How do I change the DMA to on anyway as I assume it should be? So, whats the InCD4 and how does it make a difference? And finally, sorry for my ignorance, but what is CMC media, whats so bad about it? Thanks for the help!
As for DMA on the CD-Burner, it would just be nice to have it running quicker, up to you.. InCD4 is packet writing software , part of Nero, i don't use it/or have it installed - look here - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/75782 CMC media (shudders!) - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/114809 and http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/172030 (i'd rather you skim thru those posts than me quote anyone from within the posts) hope that helps a little..

Hi Thanks again. I have removed the InCD but there is also a program called InCD Eastwrite Reader, should I also remove this? Can you tell me how I put the DMA onto that drive please? I reckon I'm going to be pretty narked off soon - I have had problems with my older SONY player with quite a bit of media (which was annoying as it matched all my other seperates!) so I purchased a new JVC unit last weekend. Some DVDs played on the SONY, others didn't. The JVC being new plays everything (even though they advertise it as DVD- and don't mention DVD+ which is odd?!) Anyway, if I now go to use more expensive blank DVDs, like the ones suggested, whats the betting they would have played on my old SONY player anyway, and I didn't need to purchase the new JVC...DOH!!!!
re InCD Easywrite Reader - i think so, yes. as for DMA do a search on here for DMA, you need to delete the primary & secondary ide channel, or might as well do all from 'ide/ata/atapi controllers'. reboot and the system will re-add them. just check theyre DMA'd again after.... in fact do a search for DMA then it'll make more sense than me explaining badly..
