Copying DVD on the fly

**dirtyrider** · 23rd July 2005

Hi,

I have a Pioneer 109 and a lite on dual layer 16 speed burner installed in my pc.
Is it possible to copy unprotected DVD`s(what i`ve made myself) on the fly at anything over 4 speed?
For some reason both my drives don`t seem to be reading at what they suposed to do as it always runs out of buffer(no continuous burn)
Any ideas?
Thanks.

If your system is up to the job resource wise, and you have set it up correctly (at both hardware & software level), then yes.

Should be, got xp 3000 cpu, 1 g mem windows xp serv pk2
Just don`t understand why my drives don`t read fast enough when they are supposed to be 16 speed.

your drives might be locked e.g pioneer 109 is locked to 2x for a retail dvd film and dvdrom are also lock for reading not burning
they can be unlocked look here http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php

If they are running on the same IDE channel that won't help, I've got one of my opticals on a pci card so it has it's own channel, burns are more reliable so I've found.
