I'm having a problem where sometimes when I try burning my project to DVD, it won't burn past the Lead-In. I've searched through the forum and see that several others have been having similar problems, too.
It will burn up to about 95% of the lead-in, then go *extremely* slow to where, for instance right now its taken 10 minutes to make it to 98% lead-in burned with an estimated 3 hours remaining and the time remaining keeps going up endlessly. Yet just the other day I prepared and burned a project without problem.
I've been having this problem since my old DVD burner died and switched to an NEC 2510A. I have the latest firmwares and updates for the programs. I guess I just don't understand why it will work in some situations, but not in others. Its been causing me a lot of headaches and coasters.
I discovered if I restarted my computer and the first thing I did upon entering windows was open DVDA2 and burn the project, it worked fine. I mean first thing, too. Let Windows load up, then open DVDA, and burn it. If I opened *anything* before DVDA, even something small like the shortcut to dial-up internet, it would have the aforementioned problem and burn a coaster. Anyone else try this method? Kind of a pain in the butt to go through each time to burn a DVD, but it seems to work as I'm burning a successful one right now.
