I've belatedly discovered there's a DVD Indentifire program and checked the miscellaney of blank DVD+Rs I have. Turns out that every one that has wide white foam-rubber-feeling hold-down/spacer rings is made by CMC Magnetics, regardless of brands. This company has some in for a lot of vitrol for...

What are the primary differences between a DVD-RAM, a DVD-ROM, a DVD-RW and a DVD+RW ? All I know is that all of these are erasable recording media with substantially greater data capacity than CD-RWs. TQ

I don't know how CDs differ from HDs. Can anyone recommend: 1. a good program for securely erasing data on a CD; 2. a good program for scanning a CD which is partially damaged. 3. the name of any other ng where I could ask these questions. Thanks for any suggestions.

Installed a new DVD/CD-RW combo (Lite-On SOHW 1673S). I was of the opinion that the little audio connector from the drive to the sound card was unnecessary for digital sound. Sound works great on CD playback, but nothing on DVD. Am I missing codecs or is that audio cable really required? -- the...

Is USB2.0 fast enough for 8x DVD recording ???? Sony sells an 8x dvd recorder but I've read a few messages where people have put 8x recorders in usb2.0 cases and could only achieve 4x reliably Thanks........... Brian.......... Save Your Breath...You'll need it to blow up your date!

I KNOW I've done this before and now can't figure it out or find any help in the MusicMatch help files. I have a retail CD that I'd like to convert some of the songs on it to mp3s and wavs. Could someone please refresh my memory? Thank you, Monica

Hi, The 'Recorders supported by Nero' Help file tells me that my 5.5.1.1 version doesn't support the Panasonic DVR-105. I discovered this only after buying the drive (the old drive failed and was CDR-CDRW only ). And indeed, no matter what I try, I can't get Nero to recognize the...

Just to let you know, I didn't jump in here for help before Googling myself blue in the face today. If I misuse some terms, bear with me; I covered a lot of territory and I'm not sure how much I absorbed. So, please, help me out. Last August I replaced my Compaq (Win98) with a Dell Dimension...

I recently purchased a Freecom DVD writer from PC World.When I opened the box I noticed that although Badged as a Freecom,it didn`t look like the one on the box.It is supposed to only write CD`s at 16x,but according to nero and several other softwares I have tried it writes at 40x.(I am...

I have a Plextor (SCSI) 8/2/20 writer which is not reconizing there is a disc in the drive. Is it worth it to have it fixed or should I junk it and purchase something new. I have a new Samsung SW248F which was given to me. Is this a decent unit? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks, Rick

anyone else find this?

I've got a problem with InCD - after re-formatting HD, I re-loaded Nero, but InCD does not appear at start up. Do I need to download this separately? I don't have the original disk for the memorex twelve maxx 1032 any ideas? Gerry Cavanagh

Hi all, I'm looking for a Pioneer DVR-A08B (the B indicates black) - or the OEM version, the DVR-108B. Anybody know if there's any availability in the UK yet? I'm considering the NEC drive, the ND3500. On paper they look much the same. ANybody got any reall world experience of it? Cheers,

Does anyone know what the difference is between DVD-R and DVD+R discs? I am currently using Verbatim -R and -RW on my LG GSA4163B DVDRW and getting good results. Is it just what the writer is able to use? Bob

Hello, I just bought a LiteOn 52/32/52 burner, and a set of 10 Verbatim ultra-speed 16-24x CDRW discs. On the label of the discs, it says: "Compatible only with drives bearing the ultra-speed logo". I tried using one of them anyway, and half-way through the process, it stops and says "media not...

This used to work, but for some reason when I create a data/iso disc the filenames are converted to all upper case and spaces are replaced by underscores. Can anyone tell me what I need to change on Nero 5.x so that files are written in mixed, long filename format again? Thanks in...

Help Dont know what Ive done wrong, but since formatting my PC and reinstalling all my burning software, both Nero 6 and CopytoDVD take a stupidly long time to burn a disk, CD or DVD.
