#118515-#CD-R data stream help?
Message #118539
Dana, when I got my Pinnacle RCD-1000 I had a lot of trouble with TSRs, and other programs, SETtings, etc. When I record I use stripped down config.sys and autoexec.bat files that contain only items needed for the recording session. I also run a CDR-dedicated copy of Windows which has…

Could someone please change the title of this thread from "Mitsumi Problem" to "Kovanen Problem", so I don't have to waste my time and money looking at it?

Dana, Actually, (as you know from our phone conversations) I have been kind of amused by this guy. His infinite capacity for self-delusion (does he really think anyone believes he's such a high roller as he says? People I know who really are in such positions generally don't have to…

Kathy- I appreciate your and Jerry's loyalty and your kind words. (Bob's too, but I have other ways of telling him) But look, don't waste your time trying to teach pigs to sing (as the saying goes) unless you're getting as much amusement out of this as I am. It's…

I will look into the Smartdrive question for a paper I'm writing for OSTA. It's about optimizing a host machine for CD-Recording, and the chair of the Physical Compatibility subcommittee strongly recommends turning Smartdrive OFF, as well as any other programs and TSRs that may be running in the background.

Dear David, You solved your problem thanks to Jennifer? You mean moving the tape drive makes you able to consistently produce discs that can be read on the Mitsumi? I would really like to confirm this, as another piece of info to retain for future reference. Thanks, D'

Dear Harry, You're still coming through as Daniel… I know RCD-PC well because it is Incat's Easy-CD Pro OEM'd under that name by Pinnacle, and I write all the manuals, among other miscellaneous tasks, for Incat. But I'm not sure why setting SmartDrive off works or doesn't. The chief of…

Thanks for the suggestion, Deirdre'. I'll try it, but it seems like if I measure 1000KB/s with Smartdrive ON, then that drive should easily keep up with the RCD1000, unless the recording software is adding some tremendous amount of overhead. Do you know any more of the technical background on…

Dear Daniel, When you burn from a real image file using RCD-PC, try setting Windows' SmartDrive OFF by issuing this command from the DOS shell: SMARTDRIVE x- (where x is the drive letter of the hard drive on which the real image is stored) We've found that sometimes this helps.…

Burr, First, it sounds like you want a CD Recorder for premastering, not mastering. Mastering is an entirely different process and costs a lot more. Yes. Within limits. Not all recorders will record every type of CD so you need to check the specific recorder with your needs but 50…
