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. It's also an ever
changing field. A year ago we talked about a "non-thermal recalibration hard
drive" or AV drive. We did so because it didn't recalibrate while we were
trying to read/write. Someone got the idea to call it "Intelligent
recalibration". It's mostly a sales technique if you ask me because the two
are really the same. To some degree you can tell how long a player has been in
this game by the terms they use. If they just came in, they don't know the
older terms. If they tell you that you can make a disc with a very small RAM
buffer, they haven't made many discs. If they alwasy say one premastering
package is best, they haven't made many types of discs.
