- Question (CD Back-up Copies):
-
How can I make a back-up copy of my diverse CDs (with several tracks to)?
- Answer:
-
In the Audio section of the settings window you have to use as Start 0
blocks and Pause 152 blocks. Back in the main window you can add the
entire CD via the menu. When required (if the performance is not
sufficient), you can turn on temporary images and write the CD.
You can use these settings to copy most, but not all, CDs successfully.
Disk-At-Once is required for making 100% identical copies of CDs. This is
planned for version 3.0 of MakeCD. Even so, the above method
often suffices.
- Question (Copying problems):
-
I have tried copying a CD to a CD-R. I read from the CD_ROM drive and
wrote directly to the CD-burner, i.e. without using temporary files. My
CD-ROM drive reads at 12x speed and my CD-burner writes at quad speed.
Suddenly, the speed of the CD-ROM drive falls dramatically and the buffer
empties out. Another saucer.:-( Please repair this.
- Answer:
-
We cannot repair this. CD-ROM drives often reduce their speed when they
encounter a scratched surface that has to be read. Once the scratch has
been passed, many drives then move speed up again, while others stay at
the reduced speed. The latter is probably what is happening in your case.
You could try a firmware update for your drive that may correct this, or
use temporary files for scratched CDs. It may also help to reduce the
write speed.
