Min CD-RS are not your standard CDR disc. Your software will not read the discs as being 90 minutes until the discs are over-burned. Please see http://www.burnsmart.com/90minutecdrinfo.html for more details.

Retiring a disc: I don't need that directory of MP3s backed up any more, etc. Or maybe I was using that cd-r to temporarily shuttle a bunch of OTR shows from place to place. Dent and Ding sale: maybe I closed the disc before I wanted to and re-burned that session again on a fresh disk. Maybe I put the same file on twice or something else goofy like that. These are like "cosmetic damage" - the CD will work just fine, the contents are just not what I wanted them to be for my own usage.

I have no idea. Best you have a search on www.google.com or check out your local computer stores and markets.

I've never heard of CD-RW drive that can read DVD discs...which doesn't necessarily mean there isn't one. I would do an internet search of the CD drive model you have to see what it can, in fact, read. I would assume, however, that no CD drive will read DVDs.

The unit is switched to the upper playback drive. Since there's no disc for the laser to read in the playback drive, the display reads "CD NO DISC." Switch down to the record drive by pressing the "Stop" key in the lower right hand corner on top of the unit. The "Stop" key will be illuminated. Or, press the "CDR" button on the supplied handheld remote to switch drives. The "Phone Selector" is incorrectly set. Switch to the "LINE OUT" setting to monitor playback from either drive.

Yes. Writing to CD and DVD discs is supported as long as you have some packet writing software installed on your computer. It usually comes bundled as a part of larger CD / DVD recording software packages and makes your CD or DVD drive act as a standard, transparently write-enabled drive. Packet writing software uses UDF-formatted CD and DVD discs, and allows GRBackPro to write to your CD / DVD drive by treating it like a hard disk or a floppy diskette, using the regular drive letter.

Yes and no! If the disc has been left OPEN it can be written to again, although no existing data on the disc can be overwritten. This is known as multi-session recording. Data is written to the disc in sessions and if the session is left OPEN then another session may be added later (up to 99 sessions can be written to a single disc!). Generally, when writing to CD-Rs they are CLOSED by default, meaning that no further writing can be done.

CD-Rs have a metal reflective layer that is essential for the disc to function. The best reflective layer material is gold because it is chemically inert - meaning it will not react and degrade as other metals might. The second best layer is silver, which is more reactive chemically, but generally cheaper and currently more widely available. Mitsui, HHB, Apogee and Quantegy, among others, make discs containing gold.

Yes, you need a CD/DVD Writer drive installed on you computer before you can burn CD/DVD with Smart DVD/CD Burner.

It is very difficult to estimate the life of a CD-R or CD-RW because there are many factors such as temperature and humidity, exposure to light, dirt and contamination, and handling and scratches, which can affect the life of a disc.

All of our CD recorders work with either blank CD-Rs or CD-RWs, so you won't be locked into exclusive use of one or the other by your hardware. Choosing between the two formats really comes down to your intended uses for the discs you're burning. Although the "R" in CD-R stands for "recordable," this is a "write-once" technology. That means anything you record on a CD-R is permanent.

Yes, you can have the software mailed to you on a CD for an additional fee. Just go to our purchase page, then select "Add to Cart" under the desired version of ChatterBlocker. On the next page, check the box that says "Backup CD." Note that this is a CD for installing the software, not an audio CD.

Yes, however be careful not to violate the license agreement displayed during installation. To place eXXXTerminator onto a CD, download the eXXXTerminator.EXE file to a temporary location on your system and then start your CD burning Software (Adaptec, Nero, WinonCD, etc). Make a data disc, and place the eXXXTerminator.EXE on the disc. Use "Disk At Once" to create a CD compatible with all systems.

You need to check whether A/P has supported this function or not. Basically, SpeedBurn drives do support this function with Nero.

The audio presentation portion of our demo is presented as CD Audio. If you have a CD Player option for your computer, you will be able to hear the demo at your computer. Otherwise, any CD player will play the audio tracks of our demo CD.

That's fairly easy: You simply need to add a line to your CONFIG.SYS file, for example: DEVICE=C:\CDROM\IDE_CD.SYS /D:CD0001 Please change C:\CDROM\IDE_CD.SYS to your cd driver for DOS. You can get the driver with the drive on a diskette or try to use a different one from www.simtel.net. The example shown above is for MS DOS, for FreeDOS it would be FDEX /D:CD0001 and for DR DOS it would be NWCDEX /D:CD001). Look also at What is conventional memory? (2.

This is an optical drive that will write both DVDs (Digital Versatile Disk, Data or Video) and CDs. The LightScribe DVD+/-RW / CDRW combination drive can read, write and, using the appropriate media, rewrite a variety DVD and CD media, including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL, DVD+RW and DVD-RW. DVD+R, DVD-R and CD-R media are compatible with this drive but are a single write media. The DVD+RW, DVD-RW and CD-RW media can be written to multiple times.

Yes, the content on the DVDs is organized in such a way that it is easy to create your own CD-Rs from DVD. However, there are some things that must be paid attention to: Keep the path identical. For example, if the path to Windows XP Professional on a DVD is \English\WinXP\Pro\, be sure to put all of the files on the CD-R in the same path. CD-Rs can only be created and used in accordance with the MSDN Master End-User License Agreement (EULA).

The only discs that a DVD player is guaranteed to read are DVD discs. Support for CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW may be included, but is by no means guaranteed. CD-R was designed to be read by an infrared 780nm laser. DVD uses a visible red 635nm or 650nm laser, which aren't reflected sufficiently by the organic dye polymers used in CD-R media. As a result, many DVD players can't read CD-R media. Some DVD players come with two lasers so that they can read CD-R.

On an injection molded or "pressed" CD, the grooves (called "pits and lands") that represent the binary data on the disc's polycarbonate substrate are pressed into it by a "stamper" when it is manufactured. So hundreds or thousands of identical CDs can be created from the same mold. CD-Rs (the "R" stands for "recordable") are manufactured first as blank discs and then data is later recorded on them using a laser disc burner.

High Tech High no longer sells CD-Rs or floppies to students. Teachers can optionally distribute CD-Rs and floppies.

A CD-R starts as a blank disc and is burned (recorded). A replicated disc is custom molded (like an LP). CD-Rs are normally not sold at retail.

first determine your read offset, then determine the combined read/write offset. By using this formula, you will get the write offset. Write Offset = Combined Read/Write Offset - Read Offset It has to be the same pressing like I used, as different pressings usually uses a different offset. This specific error occurs, when the track layout is different than the correct CD, e.g. one track is slightly longer (1 sector would be enough).
