DVDIdle is a software that prolongs the lifespan of your DVD drive by utilizing the Smart Read-ahead Cache. It stores upcoming DVD data in the hard disk or RAM cache to provide faster playback, reducing wear and tear on your DVD drive.
DVDIdle essentially works by caching DVD data that is set to be played soon onto either the hard disk cache or RAM cache. This allows DVDIdle to feed the data to your DVD player, giving your DVD drive the rest it needs. For instance, a 6X-speed DVD drive usually only works for 15 minutes while you watch a 90-minute movie. But with DVDIdle, your DVD drive can rest while a software DVD player such as PowerDVD or WinDVD provides smooth playback in the background.
One of the benefits of DVDIdle is that it works automatically, caching the output of your DVD player without interrupting your viewing experience. By helping your DVD drive to rest during playback, DVDIdle can help extend the lifespan of your DVD drive significantly. With its smart read-ahead cache, you can be confident that DVDIdle is doing everything possible to protect your DVD drive and make your viewing experience more enjoyable.
