Title: Bad CD burns again... :-(
Post by: mrwul on December 14, 2003, 10:58:16 am

I guess I must use Nero to burn my cd in future, not a single problem after
many many cd-burns.

MC10 reports a 'power on reset'  when finalizing a burn, something like
that. The CD became useless ...

It is the 3rd time in a few weeks ...:-((

Using Plextor-drive.

I burned several CDs yesterday without any problems using v10.0.15.  I use a Yamaha drive for burning CDs.

I'm having problems burning CDs and DVDs. I can queue up the stuff, when I push the burn button the progress dialog is half-drawn, then system locks up completely, mouse cursor not moving.

I am using a Plextor PXW4012, Plextor 40x12x40 CDRW Drive, together with 48x Philips CDR-80's. To be frank, the Plextor never let me down sofar... only with MC9.1 (2x) and with MC10 (1x).

However.. I burned many CDR flawlessly with MC and also with Nero of course.
Reported the error earlier (9.1)

Must admit it is much easier to burn audio-cd's from withim MC, because it is easier to select albums to burn. Nero explorer doesn't give me a similar
overview.

I rebooted the pc and burned a few CD's again, but pls understand I don't like the feeling of 'being lucky' when the cd is burned successfully.
