Help me DVDRW owners and Nero

[thorz]

Hi m8s

I will post in this section because I need some input from DVDRW drive owners that use Nero. I am observing a very extrange situation here. Nero is eating lots of memory while writing to DVD-R. I am just burning a simple ISO data disc, and my system becomes very unresponsive when Nero is arround 15%-20% of the burning progress. It then frees the RAM when it is at 28% of writing but it starts the process again and I get the RAM filled up when Nero is arround 70% of writing (it just leave me between 15% and 20% of my RAM free).
I have a good enough system (P4 3Ghz, 1Gb RAM on Windows XP Pro) and have never experienced this before, the computer becomes very unresponsive when the RAM use is in the critical stage.
I have had a Pioneer A04 drive and I could not noticed this problem (I really don't remember, but I am quite sure). It is now with my new Liteon LDW-811S DVDRW that I see this behavor. I have tried Nero 6.28 and now I have come back to 5.5.10.54, both seem to present the same situation.
I have some screenshots that I apreciate that you take a look at them.
They are realtime from FreeRamXP Pro, the taskmanager and Nero itself.

I have post another topic at the begining of the situation in the CD-RW master programs section, but as I am needing now some ideas from DVDRW drive users I have posted this new topic here.

Thanks a lot pals.

What other apps are running in the background? Maybe there's a conflict with one of them and nero. Plus what type of ram do you have? A gig of ram is more than enough but, is it ecc. (Error-Correcting Code memory)

Problem is not solved. Please look this thread:

Thank you

This is probably too simple, but .... have you checked that DMA is enabled on both IDE channels ?

 

[thorz]

Sometimes the simpliest things are the lead to success
Thank you for your idea pal, I will re-check this as I have not done it since changing the drive.

 

[thorz]

Nope, this was not the cause. I have checked DMA and the drive is on Ultra-DMA Mode 2 as it should be.
Please check this thread my friends, this issue is not solved, there is a big problem between Nero and NAV 2004:

What is your antivirus program? The problem is due to NAV 2004 after investigations were made by me.

[thorz]

Yeah m8, read the thread that is pinted up, disabling NAV solves it. But I would like to know if others are having this issue with NAV also. It doesn't suposse to affect like this.
