I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips for DVD burners on an Nforce 4 chipset system (ASUS a8n-sli premium mobo). I've got a Pioneer 110 and DVD architect can't see it - I guess this is a known problem.
This is quite odd. I have an Asus 1608-P2S which is a reselling of the Pioneer-110. DVD Architect (version 3) does see my drive and works with it. My mobo is an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe which also uses nVidia chipsets. Not sure if it's the same chipsets, though. If you haven't already, you should probably update the firmware on all your hardware (mb and burner).
I am on an nForce 4 Pro chipset. I had the same problem at one time. It was resolved by updating to the later DVDA 3.0c version and/or installing newer chipset drivers from nvidia.com. I can't remember which solved the problem. The problem and solution are documented somewhere in the forums!

Nope. It has nothing to do with the burner. It has to do with Sony applications not working with the nForce4 chipset. None of my Sony applications could see any of my three DVD/CD drives whether they were burners or not. I could not rip from CD or anything.
It was resolved by contacting Sony and getting new DLL’s for all of the Sony products (since none of my other burning applications had a problem with this chipset). Since then I believe Vegas 6.0d has the fix. The latest DVD Architect might not. So make sure you have the latest versions of all the Sony products and if any of them still don’t work, contact Sony for new DLL’s.
