I am trying to burn an audio CD from a dozen of tracks. Here's what happens on two machines that I tried this on:
1. Settings: Burning / Drive D: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R6012 Addr: 1:0:0 Speed:16 MaxSpeed:16 BurnProof:Yes, Test mode: No / Eject after writing: No / Direct decoding: No / Write CD-Text: Yes
Use playback settings: No /
NOTE: I unchecked "Decode files directly to disc" to see if that would help my problem, but it doesn't.
2. The first few tracks are getting "prepared" (aka converted to WAV), which a growing burncache.raw file also indicates.
3. At one (random) point, MC starts "writing" tracks to the CD, with no more tracks being "prepared". The CD is closed without the missing tracks ever being added.
4. Result: I end up with a CD that only has a few of the tracks in the burn queue, e.g. 2 out of 12.
As I said, I tried this on two different machines, with different hardware. On one machine, I unchecked "Enable CD recording on this drive" under the drive's properties, which didn't make a difference.
Both machines have similar to:
Media Center Registered 11.1.200 -- C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\
Microsoft Windows XP Workstation 5.1 Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Intel Pentium 4 1185 MHz MMX / Memory: Total - 1047 MB, Free - 513 MB
Internet Explorer: 7.0.5730.11 / ComCtl32.dll: 5.82.2900 / Shlwapi.dll: 6.0.2900 / Shell32.dll: 6.0.2900 / wnaspi32.dll: 4.60 (1021) , ASPI for Win32 (95/NT) DLL, Copyright © 1989-1999 Adaptec, Inc. / Aspi32.sys: 4.60 (1021)
Also, both machines have Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator 6 installed.
Any ideas are most appreciated. Thanks!
