- Hints/Comments:
-
- When I read the audio tracks at full speed (set 0 in the settings
window), it happens that they have small errors, which sounds like when a
CD player is jumping a bit. I can hear it only with really good audio
equipment. Since I discovered those errors, I read audio tracks with single
speed only. Perhaps it's just a subjective feeling, but the tracks now seem
to be OK.
- Sometimes AFS causes problems on both hard disks -- it waits for
4-8 seconds without doing anything, my tasks are hold for that time, and
after that, everything works again. I didn't have these pauses when I
was using FFS -- but AFS is far faster...
No SCSI hangups. 50 CDs written, 40 successful. The 10 coasters resulted
in either a frozen system or in strange error messages:
- I was clicking in other windows when writing -- the system froze
and I had to reboot (I am using a 16 bit deep workbench screen ---
perhaps that's the reason).
- Error messages like "Medium Error 2, Illegal request" (sorry, I
can't remember the exact texts) happened. My CD writer sends these error
codes to MakeCD and then it refuses to finish or repair the CD-R. The
strange thing is: if I don't change anything (I just insert another
CD-R), it writes this CD-R without any problems. I tried 6 or 7 different
CD-R types, e.g. TDK, FUJI, KOCH, even nonames, but it seems to me that
it makes no difference.
- On the other hand, I never had errors like buffer overflow or
underrun, even if I write straight from a HDD in MS-DOS format, from my
SCSI HDD or from my AT HDD to the CD writer. Sometimes, when I try to
write directory trees that contain a few thousand very small
files, I have to increase the buffer size from 8.000 KB to 24.000 KB to
avoid getting a buffer underrun.
- I tried to remove all my Commodities (MCP, NewMode, MagicMenu and
others), but nothing changed.
