Gilles, Many replication plants will provide clip art of the logos for you. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
David, Give it a rest. You annoy me terribly. You lie right and left. You seem to take great joy in bothering people. I asked you to let it pass and you refused. You continue to make a fool out of yourself on this forum and waste my time. Goodbye.…
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…
Kathy, I know where you could get one. I have a client with a 521 and he has yet to make a good disc with it. Seems there's a bug in the machine that leaves a corrupted block at the end of every disc. According to the client Philips has…
David, It's clear to me that you and I live in realities that have little in common. Rather than waste both of our time, let's let this pass. It serves nothing positive. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Deirdre', Unless you want to include the Texel drives (now Plextor) in that group. I have had to had Texel drives fixed and they still don't work….no trouble with the 4Plex however. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Mike, It's the clean up that I'm talking about. It's not so hard to make a CD from some tape but if you want anything even remotely close to CD quality then you need the items I mentioned and it's not cheap. I had a tape which I needed to…
John, Just an observation here. Recording speed has _nothing_ to do with playback speed so there is no advantage to checking recording speeds to figure out what compression ratio you'll be using. Recording speed and playback speed are independent of each other. BTW, if you (or your client) like we…
David, Not CIS rules you don't. They prohibit profanity and you clearly didn't follow that rule. No. _YOU_ are missing the big picture here. There are professional people here who were trying to help you and you started throwing insults around and swearing at people then wondering why you weren't…
David, First I personally find your language offensive and uncalled for. I expect it on the Internet but not on CIS where I pay good money. Second, I find your total lack of respect for someone who _was_ trying to help you to be very annoying. You may need help…
Poor language

Kathy, > Yup. Guess it ain't always d'bestest way 'o teachin folks how t' tawlk but's the way I learnt it.
Kathy, "PMJI" I guess but it's not the sentence structure they taught at my school.
Georges, PMFJI, I think Dana's keyboard burped, she left out the "F" in Pardon Me For Jumping In or PMFJIH with the added "here" which is applied once in awhile. FWIW. BCNU, Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Fred, I guess it depends on how you define "can see through it" as the gold is thin enough you can see thru the gold (for eclipses and such). Then again, if there's a hole in the gold you're looking thru (ie clear plastic) then yes, the disc is bad.…
Jeff, Afraid not. I've got several local companies that will burn a CD-R from audio DAT tapes for that kind of money. No editing or cleanup of course, just conversion. CD-ROM prices are still much higher than that but as you know, the quality has to be higher too and…
Georges, Oh no! Don't start any more of these. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc. http://www.cdarchive.com/cd_solutions/welcome.htm
Kathy, Yes. It's so confusing to have your name showing up in the header then find out it's Scot Bracken in drag. Can't he afford his own account? Ok, so the _three_ of us agree on our opinion. Consensus of professionals is important. So what does _that_ do to the…
Kathy,
Keith, I think CD Archives sells Toast software. You can reach them at: Georges Brown 73243,2356 Georges Brown Internet: Georges@CDArchive.com or 800-435-6779 Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Don, I might also add that when you're recording several small files instead of larger ones it takes a larger buffer or you'll have the same problems. No one ever said this was easy. It's still new technology and there's a learning curve that goes along with something this new.…
Peter, > Thank you for confirming my advice to go with the 2MB buffer. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Don, I use all AV drives myself but I've talked with people who are using regular drives without problems as long as they bump up the RAM. Talk with Georges Brown from CD Archives as he has some experience in this area. Georges Brown 73243,2356 Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Don, Personally I wouldn't risk it with a buffer that small. I'd want 2 MB for that type of drive I think but admit my experience with those drives is limited. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
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…
Of course. The resource fork is gone so double clicking on a file won't auto launch the proper application but clicking on the application will certainly launch the application without problems. BTW, what's your name? "VNM Support" doesn't seem to fit the forum guidelines very well and I certainly don't…
Unfortunatly some CD players don't handle the one-off discs very well. It's not a matter of drivers but rather a physical handicap from the way light is reflected from gold vs the way light is reflected from alum. There isn't a simple solution to your problem other than get a…
Mike, Humm…..I think it was regarding what adjustments they make to drives to assure they read CD-R discs properly given the various characteristics of various types of CD-R media…..Sound right? Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Carl, PMFJI Sure sounds like most of _us_ would rather visit _you_. My wife could spend a week in the Smithsonian! Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Robert, The audio market has one-offs in that price range but so far CD-ROM prices are higher than that. Thank God! Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Kevin, Pretty much any AV quality drive will work with the recorder. It's not as much of an issue as it used to be as there are more AV drives and they're cheaper than before too. Or….Your friend could have us make his CD-Rs's for him. Jerry Warner CD Solutions,…
Robert, Sorry. It's not so simple. It can be done but requires a high end sound card in the computer and software to edit/break the files. The signal stays digital when done correctly but I'm afraid it's not simple and it's not easy and it's not cheap. It'll cost you…
Kathy, The last time I priced the Rimage printer (about two weeks ago) the price was $5500 and they were selling them as fast as they could make them. As you say however, "you can call a dealer to find real prices." Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Brian,
Brian, There are indeed products that will allow you to label your own discs. The cheapest of course is a stick on label. For the silkscreen type effect (not really silkscreen at all) you can expect to spend about $5,500 for a good label setup. That's a lot of custom…
Mike, Felix used to visit this forum a lot but I've not seen him around lately. He must still be on CIS as he promptly replied to my e-mail. Felix Nemirovsky 71672,3720 Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
David, Before you buy the recorder you may want to check out the prices of having someone else make your discs for you. In many cases it's still cheaper to hire someone than buy the equipment and you get their experience too. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Pollyanne, You could set your old subdirectory as a drive letter then compare the entire drive or you could get Disc Detective which will read every sector on the disc and will compare to image files. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Goerges, Thanks for clearing that up. Hope I didn't cause your mailbox to overflow. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Kenny, I prefer to think of it as a wide-spread problem with CD Players instead of a wide-spread problem with CD-Rs. It's clear that CD-R is going to be around for a while so it stands to reason that the players should support the media. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Kenny, Wrong. An ISO9660 file _will_ show up on the Mac. If it's a _Mac_ application it _will_ run. It _will not_ look/act/and feel like a Macintosh discs however. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Kenny, No. At least not that I've ever heard of. The PC can't understand the Mac resource folk. It gets lost when you copy the file to the PC so it isn't even there for software to work with any longer. Now, having said that, I did hear something just…
Mike, I'm convinced that the ability to read CD-R discs isn't a simple matter. My Texel _used_ to read CD-R great then quit over a period of about a week. It was repaired (replaced) with a unit that was supposed to have been checked for CD-R readability. It can read…
Kenny, > Wrong. A Mac will execute a Mac application from an ISO9660 disc just fine but in many cases you can't click on a file and have it open the application that created it. In many cases you also lose icons and the resource forks. In other cases you…

Message #116284
Kenny, Your questions are good ones that we've addressed several times on this forum. Basically there seem to be different definitions of what a "hybrid" CD is, that is a disc that can be read on multiple systems. The most common hybrid is a Mac/PC hybrid however our company has…

As I said in my reply to your e-mail, it's 681,984,000 bytes but does depend on how the drive is formatted too so there isn't a simple answer. Formate with 2048 and you should be ok. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Oh now Kathy, you and I agree far more than we disagree and you know it . Our only problem is that we both want to be the first to say it. Jerry CDS
