Like many others I have switched from Roxio Easy CD to Nero - I am using
version 6 and it rocks!

However I have created many Jewel Case inserts using the Easy CD built in
Label creator and I would like to convert these ".jwl files" somehow in
order that Nero can use them. Is there a way?

Also is there any way for Nero to recognise ".cl3" and ".cl4" files?

I would rather not reinstall Roxio alongside Nero. Apologies if this has
been asked before, but searching this ng, does not reveal a recent answer to
this question and a google search does not either.

The above are bad enough. But this takes the cake:

Subject: Unreadable .CL5/.CIF files after updating
Date: 10/11/01 from ECDC 5.0 to 5.02b

I created some CD images in ECDC 5.0 some time ago where ECDC 5.0
created .CIF and .CL5 files. I then created .ISO images.

I already know ECDC 5.0 cannot re-open .ISO files and other .ISO burning
software cannot read Roxio's proprietary .ISO files.

However, after updating from ECDC 5.0 to 5.02b, the .CL5/.CIF files are
no longer readable.

Is this a known ECDC 5.0x bug?

Will ECDC 5.1 be able to read previous .CL5/.CIF files created by
ECDC 5.0 through 5.02b?

.... and how hard it can be to make a conversation between the *.cl3-
and the *.jwl files so the (ex)-useres can use their old jewelcases
and lables.

You have to be a Adaptec programmer - to understand this ;-(

Ha ha ha ha! What a great joke! Do you have more? It's funny!

What joke?
ECDC 5 will be able to use or convert ECDC 4 covers and jewel cases.
We do try to learn from our mistakes.

You are correct, 4.0x can not read 3.x layouts or jewel cases. This
mistake is not something we plan to repeat when we do ECDC 5 ...

I have been repeatedly assured that this problem will not recur in the
next major release. I have to trust what my colleagues tell me. You have
to trust me. I have not lied to any customer ever in my life, so I think
that at this point I have earned a little trust.

I have a number of CD layouts saved under EZCD 4, but now I have
upgraded to version 5 they won't open, being of the old format.

Date: 1/10/02

Upgraded my wife's machine to Windows XP. EZCD doesn't run. So I
update to the latest version. After fighting for hours I get it to run
on her pc. She goes to open one of many and I mean many cd image files
that were stored as .cl4. Guess what EZCD 5 will not read .cl4 files.
Or I don't seem to be able to find a way to make it read. I even tried
renaming the file to .cl5 which is the way EZCD saves the images as.

Are these guys out to make peoples lives miserable? Do they know what
the term "backward compatibility" means. They should have stayed in
the SCSI business.
