Don, if the buffer of the CD-R is still empty during the TCAL nothing will happen as the CD-R will wait until it's buffer is full before starting to write. Sincerely Peter
Jerry The third question. Can I determine how long my current drive takes for TCAL? It is a new WD caviar 3100 1 G drive. DON
Peter, Thanks for explaning how this works, I am new to this field (as I suspect are many people writing about it). I suppose the safest thing for people to say is "get a SCSI AV drive". I would like to quote portions recent articles, which are a source of…
Jerry I posted this question in a few hard drive forums: FYI I got a technical reply from the Seagate forum which states that AV friendly drives should be used whenever large files are transferred. Basically they said I need one. DON PS I didn't want to repost someone else's…
Don, Please do the following calculations: a Recorder will write 150 KByte per second in single speed 300 KByte per second in double speed and 600 KByte per second at 4x speed. With these numbers you can easily calculate how long the recorder can continue to write without input data…
Jerry, I plan to get a 1 meg buffered CD-R. Is that sufficient? DON
David- Please see my email… Thanks, Charles
Matthew, There isn't one. Actually you're going to have to resample your cassette tapes to digital form, clean up the tracks, then re-record using either audio or some premastering software. It's not an easy or cheap process and requires some pretty expensive sound cards and editing software. We don't handle…
Don, It depends on your recorder. If you've got enough RAM in the recorder your "fast 1Gig EEDI drive" should work fine. (or copy it to tape and have us make the CD-R for you). Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Mike, I agree with Deirdre'. It's not the Foreign File Access that gives you the longer file names but rather an extension. The whole issue is avoided when making a true hybrid and in addition, you have the ability to control window/file placement with a true hybrid which you don't…
Don, Yes you can take an audio DAT tape and record that onto a Redbook CD-R. That's how some of the recording studios do it. They're units usually have the DAT player and recorder as part of the same unit. Such services cost in the area of $30. I've got…
Plasmon has some very rough, unsupported code on their BBS which illustrates the capabilities of parallel recording to their drives. The code only works with the Plasmon drives, however. As I said, it is also very raw. You would want to put a pretty interface on it and add some…
is there no way to take the output of a dat deck into the cdr how are the studios doing it.
Plasmon says it could be done, but so far no one has written software to support it. Ciao, D'
Yep. Make sure you follow the procedures outlined for recording an audio disc, and closing the session as CD-DA. Should work fine. Best, D'
#Plasmon Daisy-chain?
Message #117727
Has anyone heard of or done daisy-chaining of the Plasmon RF410x drives? They say you can chain as many as six together as simultaneous targets, but we have found no software that supports this. What's the story? Has anyone used the "chained" JVC system? Any information would be helpful. TIA.
Thank you for the confirmation.
In fact, a Joliet disk will contain two file systems: The primary file system which is described by the PVD is strictly ISO 9660 level 1 and the secondary file system which is described by a SVD contains file and directorynames in UNICODE. Sincerely Peter
Thanks Dana! Another one: If I record music on a recorder Pinnacle Micro CDR-1000 in audio mode, can I play this disk on an standard CD player?
Thanks Deirdre! If I record music on a recorder Pinnacle Micro CDR-1000 in audio mode, can I play this disk on an standard CD player?
I'm not quite sure if you're asking this, but in case you are: There are some new types of recordable discs out, notably from TDK, which are intended for use only in some new CD recorders which can only be used to copy audio CDs. (I believe there's some copy…
It's not Foreign File Access that does it; I'm having a hard time finding a name for what it is without causing exactly that confusion. It's the Apple Extensions, sometimes called Apple Level 2 Extensions, to the ISO 9660 standard which allows the resource fork to be kept in an…
Dear Carl, did the Pinnacle tech give you any solid reason for that recommendation, or was it based on experience, or what? Thanks, D'
Thanks!
This is a support account for Viacom New Media, and is staffed by several people… so tagging a name onto the account wouldn't help very much. I check this area in my usual rounds and thought I'd lend my two cents… which unfortunately weren't entirely accurate. I hadn't realized that…
#Cassette Recording to CD
Message #117709
What is the best way to record cassette tapes to a recordable cdrom drive? Can you some how attach you audio tape deck to your sound card for play? I don't have a clue. Please will someone advise… ASP Matthew Long Jr. 102124, 1434
Forgot to answer about the Mitsumi driver. It is the one that comes with the Mitsumi drive.
The side where you see the green is the side with the dye. Green means cyanine dye, goldish means pthalocyanine dye. The Philips drive should have no problem with pthalocyanine disks since Philips produces Kodaks CD writers and Kodak only uses pthalocyanine disks. ..Carl
John… Only guesses. Apparently pthalocyanine disks are much more tempremental during the writing. Variations in laser temperature can make a difference in them. I have pthalocyanine disks that were written successfully and where I can read the directory but when I attempt to open a file or program from the…
>>Someone can tell me if there is a physical difference between a recordable CD Audio and a CD Rom? There is a physical difference between a recordable CD and any type of pressed CD. There is no physical difference between types of pressed CDs. Pressed CDs are made of polycarbonate,…
#Do I need an A/V drive?
Message #117699
ALL I will be burning to a 2X CD-R. No audio or movie files, just large data files. I current have a fast 1Gig EEDI drive. Do I still need an A/V drive? Thanks, DON
#CD Audio and CD Rom
Message #117697
Someone can tell me if there is a physical difference between a recordable CD Audio and a CD Rom?
>>Do you know if WinNT is going to support Joliet as well? Nope, I don't know. It makes sense that it would, because to my knowledge, WinNT does not use MSCDEX as a redirector, so there must be built-in CD-ROM support. >>Also, if I create a CD using this (assuming…
As a matter of curiosity, what is the "something better" you would recommend? Cheers, D'
You are right that Easy-CD BackUp, and its twin sold by Pinnacle, do not automatically close a session with every write. This is done to save space on the disc (you lost 13 megabytes in lead-out for every session closed), and we are assuming that usually you would be making…
Sorry, that's not a dumb question, that's me assuming too much. There's a file in the Incat library (GO INCATS), "Reading Multisession Discs: Problems" (MULTIS.TXT), which explains the problem. It's not that you have done the wrong thing (nor could you with the software), it's that CD-ROM drive manufacturers have…
Brenda, it's always to good to hear that problems have been solved 🙂 My company is the manufacturer of software for CD-Recorders. Currently we have packages for Windows and Macintosh. To learn more about my company visit our forum (GO CEQUADRAT). Peter
Walter, There certainly are a lot of opinions about the Pinnacle, some good and some not so good. Before you commit to a drive, do monitor this forum for a while and try to sort them out and see how they might apply to your situation. My opinion: I've just…
Deirdre' Pardon me for asking a dumb question but what's " the classic multisession-in-Mode 2-only problem"? Does the s/w version supplied with the RCD1000 keep us from accidentally doing the wrong thing, or are we on our own? John
Dirk, Tape offers higher data transfer rates and much higher capacity per unit of medium than CD-R, and arguably requires less skilled attention than cutting a CD. If your idea of backup is just to copy a limited number of data files that you've recently modified, CD-R may suit you…
Thanks! I'd really like to get this thign working.

Michael, I was visiting OMI today, and was told their NT version is in beta now, out the door very soon. Kathy
Yamaha 4X Toast Bundle?
Message #117664
Can anyone recommend a Yamaha 4X and Toast CD-R mastering software bundle? I have selected this combo and am looking for the best price available, either mail order or local to SF Bay area. Thanks. Barry Alexander
#Dataware – where?
Message #117653
i'm looking for bbs or online support for Dataware Technologies (CD Record software)…any thoughts?
Dana, >>Win95's Joliet will support Unicode, the ISO 10446 spec for a 16-bit character >>set. CDFS, Win 95's replacement for MSCDEX, will act as a "receiver" for >>Joliet. CDFS is not ISO 9660-strict, allowing for longer filenames. Interesting. Do you know if WinNT is going to support Joliet as well?…
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!! I have been trying to solve that problem for quite some time. By the way, what does your company do? regards, Brenda
Correct
When an ISO disc is cut from a Mac, it is possible to use the Apple Extensions which put the resource fork into an associated file (allowed under ISO, not DOS), and to allow the long filenames. Incat's Easy-CD Pro for Macintosh implements the Apple Extensions automatically, and I think…
David, SO at this time the PInnacle rc1000 is not supported?
