Slow Stutter on an Optical Drive
Incompatible disc formats and regional codes may cause your optical drive to stutter. This problem often occurs in the beginning of a CD-RW, DVD-RW or Blue-Ray disc writing job. When interrupted streams happen midway or towards the end of the project, it's typically due to a couple of other things. Your optical drive may be set to write at a very fast writing speed or your computer is programmed to enter standby or sleep mode.
