I have recently bought a new comp. Summary from 1400 XP,512MB, MX400 to 64 3200+,2G, 7900GT.
My problem:
I do some video encoding VCD->DivX using virtualDubMod. I would open the AVSEQ01.DAT and the save as avi. Then when finished I insert the next disk and select AVSEQ01.DAT for the second CD. My old machine had no problems, but in the new server it reencodes the first disk even when I have my second disk in the CDROM.
I know it is cached somewhere because VirtualDubMod will scan the file when i use "file open", and a CDROM scan takes about 2 mins, the second time I open , it scans in about 10 secs.

I think it may be something to do with the extra RAM, and somehow XP not registering the disk change.

I tried stop and restart VirtualDubMod, but did not work. The only solution is to reboot after each encode.

Is it really beaing cached? and how do I turn it off if it is?

Just tried it on PowerDVD and it actually plays the first disk,(when I have second disk inserted).
 
Try opening a different folder then go back to the cd drive.
