I have been trying to burn a DVD for a few days now. It stops at 22%
and will go no further. There is no error it just stops. I let it sit
for 5 hours the other day with no change. I am using a Emprex 8x DVD
RW. I am using a windows xp machine p4 2.4g 512 ram. I am using DVD
Shrink and Nero. If anyone can help I would appriciate it.



Thanks

Bear in mind that I've never burned a DVD myself so this is just an idle
thought: how much hard drive space do you have available at the moment?
Perhaps it's not enough for all the temp files and what-not that the
software needs to create in the process.

Again, just a thought.

Question #1 is have you successfully burned other DVDs or is this your
first ever attempt?

If other DVDs burn OK, then there is something about this image or set of
files that is causing a problem. (You wouldn't by any chance be trying to
copy an encrytped DVD, would you?)

If you've never successfully burned a DVD, then there is probably
something wrong with your setup. Could be lots of things from faulty
hardware to a hardware conflict to a software configuration issue. Try the
hardware manufacturers and software developers web sites. If it is a
common problem, they'll often have a quick work-around.

Suggestion - work with a DVD-RW disk until you get the burning results you
want. Lot cheaper than making a couple dozen coasters while you figure
things out.

Nero doesn't work 100% sometimes. Get Image Tool (Free) and burn it as an
img.

What version Nero, version DVDShrink and media? Any antivirus or screensaver
running while burning?

Given this is your first attempt, my guess is you may have a process
running in the backround that is periodically interrupting the burning
process. Microsoft and the various PC vendors just LOVE loading up
machines with dozens of often near-worthless processes that can really
interrupt CPU processing time, even on fast machines.

Do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and open your task manager. Take a look at the
processes running in the backround and watch it for five or ten
minutes. See if anything is periodically grabbing processor time. You can
do a google search on the name of that task if its function isn't obvious
to you. Try shutting that process(es) down and try burning again and see
if progress improves.

If that doesn't cure things, sounds like you may have a hardware problem.
DVD burners can sometimes be picky about which IDE channel they are on and
whether they are master or slave.

There is also an Intel Accelerator application that can improve some machines.

Chech to see if DMA is turned on for the IDE drives.

That should give you a little laundry list of things to check for starters.
