100% CPU while burning DVD's

[Guest]

Hi
I hope I am posting this in the correct forum as this is really a general
question for which the answer may well be because "it is....".
I am running XP home SP2 Celeron(R) 2.4 GHz 512 MB Ram and my burning
software is Nero version7. I appreciate that burning DVD's does take a lot of
the CPU but is there something I can do ; upgrade RAM,CPU, download specific
software or use another burning software that will subatantially reduce CPU
usage and allow me to do other things on my PC. Or is it a case of tough
beacause it is because it is.... ?
Cheers

Check to make sure that your burner is running
in DMA mode, not PIO.

Device Manager>>IDE/ATAPI controllers>>
all Primary and Secondary IDE controllers should be
set to "DMA if available".

When burning CDs or DVDs don't run other applications at the same time to
avoid problems. I use NTI CD-Maker 7 and it also requires that you not run
other applications at the same time while burning. You could turn off the
Indexing Service while burning and then restart when finished.

Agreed. My living depends on me burning universal CDs. Yes, I turn off
all background apps before doing so, and also burn at the slowest speed
available.
