I am going to go back and do more testing to see what else we can determine and then I'll make an update entry with the results.

So according to your statement I should have burned a CD, but in fact I had none.Cl@rity_533k4https://www.blogger.com/profile/14393825629015510845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903740262764947.post-18466164095371846422009-04-02T15:18:00.000-05:002009-04-02T15:18:00.000-05:00I should mention that I burned a dvd in this examp...I should mention that I burned a dvd in this example which might explain the varianceDavid Cowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629115910611763170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903740262764947.post-15276315962560604062009-04-02T15:17:00.000-05:002009-04-02T15:17:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.David Cowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629115910611763170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903740262764947.post-78551444262592692132009-04-02T11:44:00.000-05:002009-04-02T11:44:00.000-05:00It was 78.6mbs that I burned.

In order to generate a more accurate test to determine data burned to the megabye we would need to try out different burners and see where in the process the service starts.David Cowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629115910611763170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903740262764947.post-89172110516054980562009-04-02T10:48:00.000-05:002009-04-02T10:48:00.000-05:00Question about the calculation of the size of data...Question about the calculation of the size of data burned from the example above...<BR/><BR/>Since it was 9 seconds, would it be:<BR/><BR/>.9 x 24 (assuming it was a 24x burner) = 21.6mb ?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, great blogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903740262764947.post-700513709399122312009-04-01T23:23:00.000-05:002009-04-01T23:23:00.000-05:00Hi Greg, That didn't happen in my testing b...Hi Greg,<BR/> That didn't happen in my testing but I need to do more testing to get more examples.

I have seen on some XP systems these 3 entries show up when you merely insert a CD, whether it is blank or not. In my experience, it is more indicative of a burn if these entries are separated by a minute or longer, i.e. the time it took to burn.Greg Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087813718826491542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903740262764947.post-55720758007021506602009-04-01T13:15:00.000-05:002009-04-01T13:15:00.000-05:00Agreed, in the future i plan for a larger test set...Agreed, in the future i plan for a larger test set to see what all happens with various quantities of data being burned.David Cowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629115910611763170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466903740262764947.post-28528685344816630112009-04-01T12:47:00.000-05:002009-04-01T12:47:00.000-05:00Good series of articles.I'm finding that the 3-IMA...Good series of articles.<BR/>I'm finding that the 3-IMAPI System Event log entries occur during various stages of the burning process.Paul Bobbyhttp://secureartisan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
