CD Burner Problems

[Tony P]

however nero no longer works...ha ha

 

but this new cd copying package from Sony we got with the burner seems better than nero to tell you the truth and actually works

where would i find this then Phil 'eject media when finished'

 

I know there is one in the preferences on nero, was just a thought there may be one in the software you use.

 

If it's all working good now then it doesn't matter

 

As for nero not working....it may not support your new writer, that happened when I changed mine but then realised the new nero disc had updated software on it!

i'd be suspicious that it's down to the "eject media" option. but good idea.

 

probly something like:

 

Writing speed too high

burning is set to track-at-once or session-at-once. try "disc-at-once".

 

*mumbles things about making sure dma is enabled on the drive*. nero should be version 5.5 or 6. using XP i take it?

tis ok now. just nero playing up, when we open it says choose recorder??? then the only option given is image recorder????? Any ideas??

[Phil rr]

yep. the version of nero you have doesn't support the cd burner ur using.

 

u need to download a 4 byte (or something) patch just to tell the software information about the recorder. easy - and standard.

 

the image recorder is for making an 'image file' of the 700MB (or whatever) onto the hard drive, which you can then burn onto a cd at any time.

With Xp its all drop and drag and then you run a burning wizard, very easy!

[Phil rr]

no, Tony.

 

XP has very limited burning capabilities. you don't want to use XP's built in burning capabilities.

[Daredevil Tony]

Works for all i want it to do but I see where your coming from Phil

[Phil rr]

XP's built in burning does not finalize discs until you can't fit any more on the disc.

 

So if you want to burn a 50MB file, and finalize the disc to make it easier to read in another drive, and to make sure no one adds anything to the disc, you can't.

 

XP also doesn't give you control over the gap between tracks. so if you want to burn a disc with a 2s gap, you can't.

 

and more things i can't remember.

what are you on about lad???? I know how to fooking work it but if you read this thread its says since installing a new burner it is now no t running properly!!!

 

phil a mate sent me a patch by email but wouldnt open, saying file was corrupt etc, think its norton being twatty!! How do I get this patch thingy lovie???

[Phil B]

that's what happened when I replaced my writer, I only thought after a while to check what version the Nero disc was at that came with it.....found out it was a different version of Nero, installed it and all was fixed

 

the patch should be available from the Nero website!
