Encountered some very strange problem lately. Had a CDRW and DVD+RW installed on my WindowsXP Pro computer for some time and had no problem using the CDRW and DVDRW drive previously. Yesterday, both drive are not functioning under WindowsXP but are shown with a yellow exclamation mark under...

I just got this DVD writer and it works fine burning all media with Roxio EMC v.7, -Classic Creator, but I cannot get it to work with Drag and Drop (DirectCD). It will not recognise CDR, CDRW or DVDRW as writeable media, therefore it will not format, write nor erase the disc. I'm using Windows...

I recently upgraded to Nero Ultra 7. I would like to be able to: 1. Burn CD's and DVD's 2. Backup to DVD 3. Re-Write to CDR media I can only seem to get two out of three. When I install Nero Ultra 7 using the typical installation, InCD 5 does not install. When I use "Add / Remove Programs" to...

None of my rippers rip, and none of my burners burn. All this happened a week ago, and I can't figure out what's what. "My Computer" does not show the presence of my LTR-40125 burner, but the Add/Remove Hardware recognizes it. I have several rippers and burners: 1. Easy CD creator 5 basic;...

I'm not too sure how Thumbs.db files really work, but I guess they are pointless being put on multisession CDRs when you are adding files to a folder. Is there any way you can tell Nero to ignore these files when dragging over folders to the compilation? ss.

This is not the CD-Recordable Frequently Asked Questions posting, but rather a pointer to it. I'm posting this because there may be propagation problems with the FAQ (it's rather large for a Usenet posting), and some sites have automatic filters that think it's spam. This is also going out to...

I have a 3-year old 36x CD-ROM drive, and it seems to be failing. It has trouble reading CDRs that it could read a month or so ago (and that other computers can still read). Last night, it was fairly cold (about 10C), and it had strange corruption of disks that I knew were perfectly OK. In Cooked...

Why does Windows 98SE seem think my dvd-rom drive is a plain old cd-rom drive? http://www.buslink.com/index.cgi?view_product=yes&product_sku= 677891132112 Why can I play SVCD/VCD disks but not DVDs? Why can I play an audio cd with Windows CD player but none of my cd ripping apps recognize my drive...

"lbbs" lbbs @dadffo.ca wrote in message ... I saw one for sale for $100 (Canadian dollars) with mail in rebate. I heard LG is good, but not familiar with i/o magic 4x dual format. Are they picky about reading media types? I read the...

My computer Pioneer DVD drives will not see the folder: VIDEO_TS and it's file extensions of *.BUT, *.IFO, *.VOB written by my Pioneer TV recorder, instead I see one .CDA file. BUT, on the rare times my computer has read correctly and played the video, I then copied those files to my C, D, or E...

Is there a program that can do multisession on DVD-R media, freeware would be nice. TIA David

to get some info for my burner not working right and have managed to get things just about right, except sometimes when burning test music cds the last few tracks take forever to be read if I skip forward to them on my hifi, and when they start they will start a few seconds into the tune. Is this a...

I'm having a bizarre problem with my AOpen CD-RW 2040. I've got a broadband connection and I'm often online. Recently, and rather stupidly, I temporarily took down my firewall. Then, two days ago, I turned on the monitor after sleeping, and found that there were a bunch of files ready to burn to my...

Are the Memorex non-gloss or matte CD inserts made of acid free paper? Thanks

I need to be able to burn a group of files in this exact track order without gaps(I guess this is session at once or something): eg Track 1: x1.wav Track 2: y2.ISO Track 3: x3.wav Track 4: x4.wav Track 5: x5.wav

The first DVD that I have had burned will autoplay OK in stand alone DVD player. When I put the DVD into my PC the box pops up asking if I would like to play it using Windows media player. I have gone & set the file associations for VOB files to Power DVD but still this box pops up. What file...

So i was wondering which is the best DVD-ROM on the market right now? I read good things about the LiteOn model, and i was considering the ASUS E616, a strong point for me was the ATA 100 interface. But what about the new Plextor DVD-ROM?...any reviews on...
