But My problem is this LOW computer can success BURN 4.7GB DVD

I think when I burn , maybe DATA LOSS and

If success to burn, first make ISO file and BURN is safe direct BURN ?

Please help me!

 

Hi Visee,

What is the 4.7 GB that you are trying to burn? Why do you need to burn an ISO? Just try it!
If you do try burning an ISO file, burn it at the lowest possible speed that your DVD deck can burn.

Thank you. Becuase ALL is Mydocument file. But some files name is "Uni-Code" file and filename long maybe 150 words..

I think ISO9600 is can't ?.


My step is : first use Winzip to ZIP all . setting : no any compression. very quickly
and

finish ZIP file. rename ZIP file name to : "mydoc_2007JAN.zip" <- one file

and use ISO program to changed to .ISO format. (from .ZIP to .ISO)

and use .ISO to burn it.

I think this step is stable and safe. no any missing ?


Any suggest! please!

 

Visee, those specifications are low to run Win XP.

System Requirements for Easy CD 7.0:

The system may just have the specifications to burn simple files.

Get the model number of the burner/writer and look up it's system requirements. I only know of a few CD burners that would work on those specifications and no DVD burners. Example:

If it appears to be possible, you should just need to create the zip file. Open Easy CD and use the steps or the "Drag and Drop" feature to do the burning. You should not need to create an .iso file, just use the instructions/steps for Easy CD to make a data disk.

An .iso file is an image of a whole disk. It is a way of compressing everything that is on a disk, like a zip file. Easy CD will ask to create a temporary file before burning the disk, this is not an .iso file. (I don't have Easy CD, my burning program creates an .img temporary file before burning the disk).

Edit: with only 128Mb of RAM, you may need to shut down any background programs. Close all programs in the system tray and check for "third party" (non system) programs in Task Manager. Be sure you are disconnected from the internet.

 

thank you matt,

Corrent, my comuter is very very slowly. But because only internet, office xp. player movie, Windows SP2
Run speed is quickly. I feel.!

But my problem, file is uni-code filename or filename long 150words.
or PATH C:\A1\B2\C3\D4\E5\F6\G7\H8\I9... more than 10 level path.

I can't do it. I check ISO9600 is can't support.

So I selected first .ZIP file and burn.

My DVD is Plextor 16X (8mb cache) drive . Use Easy CD 7 is oke to burn 1GB file is success. and wait 75mins. ,
but burn 4GB, is 75mins x 4 = 300mins = use 5 hours? Becuase use 5 hours , I think maybe DATA LOSS ?

Possible ?

And correct, that Task Manager all unknow notuse services/program all KILL. and disconnected internet first. is stable.

Thank you.

 

Requirements for Plextor model PX-716A:

You can see the list of other current drives in the left-hand pane. Your drive model number will be listed under CD/DVD drives in Device Manager.
Your poor processor!

I think you can see that you are asking the processor to do a very hard task trying to burn 4Gb. Data loss? Possibly, if the system cannot handle the task. It will mean the processor running at 100% for that time (5 hours) and the reading and writing processes working correctly.

In the burning program (Easy CD), you should be able to reduce the speed of the reading and writing processes. Reduce the reading and writing speeds, then set up the "burn" of the disk to happen overnight. (Set reading speed less than writing speed...I don't mind reading at 1X or 2X, it gives a better possibility of a good burn).

As I said, you are asking that system to do a hard task. Maybe if you break the disk burning into smaller segments, you will assure a dependable result (smaller burning jobs). Read about "closing" the disk in Easy CD's Help or manual. You can add to a writable disk (DVD-/+R) several times, but you cannot overwrite the data already there. Using a rewritable disk (DVD-/+RW) you can format and write on it as many times as you like.
