indiDVD ReWriter : Hardware Manual
IF INDI DVD DOES NOT FUNCTION:
Connecting Indi DVD to a USB 1.1 port will result in slow performance and may cause disc
recording errors. Connect Indi DVD to a USB 2.0 or IEEE 1394/FireWire port for best performance.
Verify that Indi DVD is connected to a functioning power outlet.
If Indi DVD is connected to a PC's USB 2.0 port, verify that the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 PC driver is
properly installed.
IF INDI DVD WILL NOT RECORD PROPERLY:
Verify that Indi DVD supports the recordable media format to which you're attempting to record.
Verify that the recordable media you're using is rated to record at the desired speed.
Verify that the recordable media is inserted into Indi DVD with the correct orientation. (Media
should be placed label side up in the disc tray.)
Since low quality media may not record properly, it's best to use TDK discs.
Verify that the drive is not connected to a USB 1.1 port. Indi DVD is not USB 1.1 port compatible,
due to bandwidth limitations.
A buffer underrun may have occurred. Either select a slower recording speed or select using Buffer
Underrun Protection in your software. Inadequate system RAM can sometimes cause buffer
underrun errors.
Disable all other functions and applications that could interrupt the stream of information.
Make sure that the media does not have any fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the surface.
Check to see if the disc already has data written on it. If the disc is rewritable, you can erase and
re-record it.
Use the recording software supplied with Indi DVD. Some other software may not be supported.
The included software does not enable making copies of commercial DVD movie discs, such as
those rented from your local video store. Always respect intellectual property laws.
