I made the mistake of buying Clean 4 to clean up my LP transfers about a year ago and stashing it away for a while. Now I come to find out that Steinberg had been bought from Pinnacle by Yamaha and that, somewhere along the way, Clean has been discontinued. Hence, it is like the guy in The...

I have an HP Pavillion dv1000 laptop with a TS-L532M CD/DVDW drive that isn't working quite right. When I am listening to an MP3 that is playing from a CD there is a slight pause each time the drive light comes on. DVD's do not play smoothly either. I switched the OS from Windows XP to Windows...

I start to wonder if my system is maybe too damn slow for DVD burn at 16 x speed... It's Athlon XP 2400+, running a bit overclocked at 140 MHZ fsb, (used to be) pretty good SOYO mobo K7V Dragon+, 512 M of DDR RAM. DMA is set, defragged system, otherwise running just fine. Only when burning DVD, it...

Hey People ! I wanted to know that are their any feature / features or combination of features that a particular Compact Disk has but not the other CD. i.e. Unique attribute of CD that can be read by a software program. Waiting for replies !!! Varun Gupta

I got a store bought CD and wrote down the track times and order and made blank WAV files with those exact times and put them on a CD-RW in the same order... in order to see if the CDDB database would see the track information based on number of tracks, duration of each track and order of the...

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 question about how CDDB works. I know it gets the information from the online database... but, what exactly does it match in order to get the information? Does it look at the song lengths/number of tracks? Is there a specific ID embeded in each CD that is unique? I am asking because I...

I just burned 3 DVDs on my new ASUS burner. The discs are RICOH, DVD-R. 25 pieces for about 10 US$. The burns are successful but verification fails in Nero; a closer look using binary file compare tells me that once in about every 500 megabytes there is a difference, say one byte different (e.g....

In order to copy--not burn--mp3 or wav files from CDRs to an external hard drive, do you have to do anything besides hit the "Copy" command in Windows (XP) and target the external hard drive as the "Selected Folder?" Is "burning" a CD analagous to unzipping a date file? The idiot thanks you in...

My grandmother gave me a CD and asked me to make copies for her. It's of a 15-year-old recording of her deceased brother singing songs their mother sang to them when they were children. First I tried InterVideo Disc Master, which said there was nothing to copy. Then I tried Acoustica Audio...

A LiteOn died so I replaced it with an LG (Lucky Goldstar-Hitachi). Wasn't really looking for a LightScribe unit but there it was at Sam's Club for about $80 U.S. Gave it a try. Haven't done much research on it. Don't know who makes it. On the supplied CD-ROM they give the Hewlett Packard...

I am using Nero 5.5.whatever with a LiteOn SOHR-5238S on a WinXP Pro machine. When I burn a data CD after the burn Nero ejects the disk, reloads and quite often puts up a dialog box that sez the media is blank or has been removed. Sometimes I can eject and reload and it works fine but sometimes it...

Dual DVD copy Platinum can copy DVD movies, including copy protected movies, on Dual Layer DVD disc and fit DVD movie to single DVD disc (DVD to DVD, DVD to Video CD, DVD to AVI). Dual DVD copy Silver is the best choice in terms of its price and efficiency. It copies DVD movies (DVD5 and DVD9) to...

There are a few error check results at http://home.comcast.net/~xxxyyz/CD-test/ . The top 4 are the same disk, the top two checked at max speed (not quite 52x), and the next two at 16x and 8x as indicated. What prompted me to post this was the C2 spikes in the top two. Note that they occur at...

I foolishly threw $40 away on a new Samsung DVD Writer that does not work. I stupidly bought an OEM version from NewEgg, rather than simply pay another $8-10 dollars for the retail version, and now it will probably take weeks for my to get a replacement from Samsung, if I can get any at all, and I...

Software such as CD Speed or CD/DVD Diagnostic checks burned disks for errors.... on a PC. Is there similar software for Macintosh? thanks, bbee (reply to list please)

Maybe a tad off topic, but... Picked up a Buslink external DVD burner at BJ's for $99 as a backup to a much, much more expensive Plextor, having had a lot of luck with Buslink products over the years. Got it home, ran a few checks and discovered it's an AOpen. Could have been a Lite-On but no such...

I posted here in November about my lightscribe Comms error. Sorry I have not been back to update my experience. I have been in touch with Philips Marketing Director and the Consultant responsible for the introduction of lightscribe into the UK. I now have my writer working, but I'm not sure exactly...

In searching for ways to expand drive support for CD Architect 4.0g under Sound Forge 4.5, I found references to a freeware program called CDPburn. It apparently has the ability to open CD Architect CDP files and burn them to modern CD writers. It used to be found at...
