ripken204 Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 i have a video on my hdd and it plays fine but when i burn to a cd and play it then it doesnt play at all, then i took the video from the cd and put it to my hdd and its fine so its not the video, the cd-r is made by ridata
Jeremy Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Defragment your harddrive using PerfectDisk.My guess is that your harddrive is so fragmented that Windows takes a long time to find all the "chunks" of your video copied to the HD.
ripken204 Posted July 9, 2005 Author Posted July 9, 2005 ur probably right, ive been burning all my stuff to cd today b/c im getting rdy to reinstall xp, havnt done it since last summer so its getting kinda messed up, ill defrag tonight and it might take a while but ill let u know how it goes, thx
Jeremy Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Wait, it plays slow on CD but plays normally on harddrive? I misread the topic. If so, this is a different problem.
ripken204 Posted July 9, 2005 Author Posted July 9, 2005 i just tried it on another comp and it works fine, my comp is going rly slow b/c its big time fragged
suryad Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Err I thought he said that he is having problems from a CD and not the hdd...so I would think some setting of your cd drive would be the culprit...maybe its time outting or something...
Martin Zugec Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Quite common problem - your cdrom is in PIO mode instead of DMA...
ripken204 Posted July 9, 2005 Author Posted July 9, 2005 its on dma, my hdd is just rly fragmented, everything is so slow b/c im burning all of my files
Gee Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 A fragamented hard drive should not make a difference for your optical drive. I think it is time for a new CD ROM.
ripken204 Posted July 11, 2005 Author Posted July 11, 2005 well i defragged it and its a little better but it still doesnt seem like the disk was defragged cus its still rly slow, ill just let u know in a few days when i reinstall xp
techniquefreak Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) Depending on what application you're using to play back the file it could be some hardware or software acceleration setting that's not enabled or it could simply be a bad burn ...Have you tried burning it with another burning app. ?(when you've reinstalled - let us know ...)
