Anyone know what versions of Nero will support dual layer DVD burners? Cheers.

I just bought my first DVD burner - the Plextor 716A - and was wondering if there's a consensus as to the best burning software to use with Plextor drives. It came with Plextools Pro and Roxio. Right now I use Nero for CD burning so I'm also thinking of upgrading to Nero 6 which includes...

I have a Sony CRX300E 48X CD writer, For some reason the write speed keeps getting slower and slower. It started at the advertised write and then progressed to 16 the 4X. I have a NEC DVD/CD 16X writer that does not seem to be effected. I am using XP/Home on a P4, 2.4 Gig @ 1GB ram. JohnC

At same bitrate, what is the file size difference? Sound quality difference? 128 vs. 196 bitrate...notable sound quality difference?

Ok when I click to properties to check the disk space for 650Megs. (Maxell) and 700Megs (Memorex). I see disk space for 688,072,704 beside it 656MB and 736,966,656 Mbs. beside it 702 MBs. respectively. So does it mean when I make a data ISO disk on cd-r it would be able to write 688,072,704m...

Hi.. I bought new Mercury CDR 54/32/54. It is configured as master on the secoundary IDE I'm using Windows XP. 1.4 Gig Duron and Shuttle board. The tray works, light comes on but does'nt auto start, read etc. When I go into 'my computer' there is no reading that it has a disk. When you put a disk...

I've got a couple of .ISO and .BIN files taking up large amounts of space on my harddrive. I'd like to delete them, but am scared to in case I ever need to burn the image again. Assuming I've already created a working CD from such a file, can I just do a disk copy to generate another copy, or is...

I purchased a Dell 4600i that came with one CD-R drive and one CD-RW drive. The CD-RW drive seems to be working ok but the CD-R drive won't, or can't read a CD disk automatically, or manually (never has) when I insert a CD disk and click on the CD-R drive icon. A dialog box pops up and tells me...

A.P.E. files and A.P.E. files in ISO format I wish to make audio cd out of A.P.E. files and A.P.E. files in ISO format (The one I have is big file like about 2.45 gigabytles) Could you please tell me how to do it for both file formats? Someone advised me to download program from this...

While googling this morning I keep encountering the phrase 'mount image file' and similar. Could someone spell out in relatively simple terms just what that means please? And how would I do it? The background to my question is that I'm researching methods to 'decrypt' a few score of WMA files that...

I've been using Exact Audio Copy (Version 0.95) exclusively for ripping CD's to the hard-drive of my PC for a couple years or so now without any significant problems - until yesterday. Yesterday I began ripping a CD-R to my PC's hard-drive as usual, then left it unattended for a few minutes. Upon...

Hi Everyone, I am trying to burn data files with Nero Express 5.5. It says that the burn is successful but nothing appears on the cdrom. I can burn without a problem using the WinXP burner. Does anyone have an idea why my files are not making it to the cdrom? Thanks,

Just a stupid one...i bet you don't have simulation only instead of burning turned on? That would be it -- I had the 'test' mode on. Thanks!! Jason

Hi, I see some shops selling CD copy tower. They can duplicate CDs without computer. I wonder if I can build it my self. Can anyone give some opinion on this? rgds, scchui

I have a DVD-ROM that is over 4 years old on my Dell of equal age that has started to act silly, actually, making it completely unusable. When I put a cd-rom in (I never use it for DVD's) and close it, it immediately reopens. It will not let me do anything. Even when there is nothing in it, I must...

Hello, I have a problem and I can't figure out what is going on or how to fix it. I have a couple of video files in .avi and .mpg format that I am trying to re-encode with TMPGEnc and the KVCD templates so that I can make Video CDs out of them. The original video file when played through Windows...

I can't find it in version 6. I have used it to rescue a damaged CD that had a bad last burn, to retrieve older data off of it and copy it back to the HD to reburn, and I miss it! -- XX
