These disks are there now for a long time but there is no improvement to...

If Buffer Underrun Protection kicks in, does it do anything to the data on the CD? Or does the CD (or DVD for that matter) come out exactly as if the Protection never kicked in? For example if you're copying a protected game CD to make a backup of it (since I don't want to loose the CD to...

In my time I've installed a few burners and not had any trouble. Now I've got a friend's PC to fix and I installed his second hand burner. It would read but it wouldn't write. F First I tried to burn an image using Acronis True Image v9. It wouldn't even start. Then I tried the XP burning...

I have tried several different manufactures in the past, and most of them eventually will start to curl up and peel off the disk. Is there a best combination of media surface type and label that would help prevent this? I am really looking for a combination of DVD media and label that can...

Hi I need to replace my Plextor 16x10x40 which has just died. I'm interested in High Quality Audio and knew that Yamaha had produced a range of Audio Master Writers. Sorry to see that they have now ceased production. See below for more details. So just wondered if there are any current CD or DVD...

I am selling off my entire DTS CD Collection to raise cash for an SACD player and some of the new released SACD discs. Original silver pressed DTS Releases and Quad Reel to Reel transfers on CDR are included. Nothing here is from a download, quad tape transfers are perfect, and all are guaranteed...

Many drives, especially DVD and CD-ROM (read-only) drives, have fairly poor C2 error reporting accuracy. Especially since CDSpeed says that the drive seems unable to report damaged sectors, I would take the damaged sector indications from that drive with quite a grain of salt. C2 errors are not...

Is that typically safe for the equipment, even if it doesn't work? Does it work most of the time, or is it more like hit-and-miss? Thanks!

When I first open Label Creator, before or after adding any tracks I can select any of the modes - Disc, Front, Booklet, Back, Minidisc - and each view is okay. Once I do the first Save, the screen no longer refreshes when I change modes. The new mode is superimposed over the old. I've uninstalled...

I have a Plextor PX-116A DVD-ROM/CD-ROM, 16x/48x...i ran the CD-ROM auto detect process in Nero 6 and it has stated the audio read speed is 25x. Is this correct?...i understand that 25x may be in relation to "on the fly" CD-CD copy, but does this also translate to what Nero's maximum read...

Hey, people! For all of us concerned with the longevity of optical disks and the effects of dust, fingerprints, labels, etc. on them, download an excellent pdf file written on the subject. Scientists working on the Digital Preservation Program at the National Institute of Standards and...

Please don't ask. ;-) But where can I find ECED 3.5c? I lost it when I bought a new computer and my HP Application Recovery no longer works. I need it because it produced the best jewel case inserts PLUS I've abou 100 such files that are still valid if only I had ECDC 3.5c to access them. I...

Hi folks, I'm running Windows XP Professional on a Dell OptiPlex GX260, based on Intel's i845 chipset. I've got a LiteOn CD-ROM drive (which came with the system) on the secondary IDE channel, master position (ie Device 0 in Windows XP terminology), and a Pioneer DVR-104 with latest firmware on the...

With Ghost 9 installed , Nero returns read error before recognizing media and won't burn DVDs. Restoring to a point before Ghost, all is fine. Symantec tech support is bad so I ask the knowledgeable members of this group. Ghost 9 installs GEARAspii. Is that a source iof this? Is there any way...

G'day all, A friend of mine gave me Nero v6 which included Incd 4. He warned me that it would be better to use an earlier version of it as v4 had bugs. Any useful advice regarding Incd is welcome as previously I had been using DirectCD but got tired of the bloody system locking up while using...

For years Iv'e been burning C.D.'s with this program and labelling them with the companion label creator.All of a sudden it refuses to access the database and gives me a message that there is a problem with my Internet connection.Which there isn't. Anyone else experienced this?

My thanks to all who provided suggestions for obtaining my goal of using very long file names on CDs. You have been *very* helpful. This is a good group with a lot of nice people. 80) -- Regards from John Corliss
