No drama, just dont jump to conclusions. I'm using a triple burner setup. Does that mean that i'm automatically using external drives? No, it simply means im having 3 burners no more, no less. All of them internal btw, and using them since early Win7 days speed never went up nor down. Who said anything about laptops, i sure didn't. Powered hub? well if it's not a external burner, you're pretty much asking him to pick up a usb hub (if he doesn't have one). There's absolutely no need for that.
That said, anydvd has no impact WHATSOEVER over how fast your rips are burned to a blank disc
I did indeed say that, and it's still true. The anydvd driver has NO IMPACT AT ALL on BURNING data from HDD to blank disc. It MIGHT, i say again MIGHT have a small impact on RIPPING from a disc TO the harddrive. Even when doing an on-the-fly backup it still only MIGHT affect the drive that's doing the ripping, NOT the one doing the burning.
Now, to rule out driver issues, why do you think that logfile is needed? As always, no logfile = we can't help.
and no, it's nothing radical, nor personal, nor chastising or anything like it. You immediately jumped to "hardware problem" when it might not be anything like it. We need facts, not speculation that's all. I'll leave it at that until OP posts the mandatory logfile and a lot more info.
@pecan111 We need a lot more info. Please read the sticky link i supplied in post 2. Provide the anydvd logfile as well as more info into WHAT your doing, how you're doing it, what are you using to do it, right now we have very little to nothing at all to go on.
