Burning problem
« on: June 17, 2004, 01:18:39 pm »

Got time to try to fix my burning problem with mc10. Tried using 1x speed and got to 85 percent before I got the error message "failed possibly due to a buffer under run condition where computer is unable to send data fast enough. Choose lower writing speed.
 Remember, It works perfectly at 4x when I covert my files to wave with mc and then shut it down and use my adaptec cd creator software.
 I also set adaptec so it wouldn't come up automatically but it still does. Did this twice and rebooted several times since I set it. :-\ :-\

BurnProof is evil.  Give us ice tea drinkers back our coasters, I say!

Don't know what burnproof is but my mechanic just said "thats not good" when I told him I am slowly leaking antifreeze from my car and can't find it. Would this be similar to my cd burner problem. It was the top of the line hp cdwriter in its day just as my 97 Buick was.

Have you tried other burning software? And what was your results. Theres Nero and Easy CD Creator as an option. How old is your CD Burners?

As I said in my first message, my adaptec easy cd creator works perfectly with my hp cdwriter plus. It may be a little old but the cd I created by sending mc converted files to my hard drive and then burning with the software that came with my burner was perfect and sounded great on mc10. Why won't mc10 burner work. Too much hassle to burn many this way.

Its Roxio Easy CD Creator. :) Simply get a faster burner or get a new OS like Windows XP/Windows 2000 pro which our more stable Operating Systems. Your problebly using old version of Easy CD Creator.

As I said in an earlier post, great program but you have to have a lot of patience.

Don't know what burnproof is...

With the old CD-Writers (like yours), once the laser fires up to burn the pits in your CD, there's no turning back.  This means that the drive's internal buffers must have data to write at all times, otherwise, you'll get a coaster since the laser is going to burn through the CD whether there is valid data or not.  This is why burning CD's on drives like yours is super CPU usage sensitive.  If your PC is busy doing other stuff, it may not be able to keep up with the drive's need for data.

With the introduction of BurnProof technology, this is no longer true.  The laser can be turned on and off (figuratively) at will, so if there is no data, the drive simply waits until there is some.

Anyway, when burning a CD in MC, 1.) make sure there are no other tasks/applications running, and 2.) make sure the files are local and not on a network.  If this is already true, then your best bet is just to upgrade to newer drive since maybe MC is just not fast enough on your system to keep up for some reason.  (These days, they are practically giving them away anyway.)

Apparently mc doesn't always send information. I am not buying a drive until I get my new top of the line Dell this fall with a couple internal cd and dvd writers. . Anyway I know enought to turn everything off when I write a cd. And though it is a lot more trouble my cd writer works perfect if I save the files to my hard drive and use the software that comes with it. Just aggravating.

I still love the program so will not worry about the cd burner.Listening to: 'The Image Of Me' by 'Conway Twitty' on Media Center 10
