Hi all, This is my first post as I am a new member so please excuse me if I dont get it right the first time. I am having problems when I burn music cd's. The problen is I get dropouts when I playback my cd's. I have reloaded windows and also reloaded nero 6. I have also changed my burner and tryed burning at all speeds but nothing helps. There is no error msg. it says burn was succsesful. I have also used Burnatonce with the same results. AMD Athlon 2400+ XP Windows XP Pro 512 mb Ram 120 gb Hdd Aopen 52/32/53 cd-r Please Help.
Welcome to this fine place, and lets see if we can help out. First thing that comes to mind here is to try & see if everything works okay if you create a disc image first, and then burn the image to CD afterwards. I am not familiar with Nero's details, but there should be an option for you to write your CD to HDD first, and then to disc from that as opposed to doing it "on the fly". Also, have you tried the CD on a different player? Are you trying to play this off the PC, or in a standalone player?
Wilkes, Thanks for your early reply. I have tryed converting to wave first and burning the wave files to cd with the same results. I have tryed playback on my home stereo and also in my truck which played fine with the same media previously. any more ideas???
So the burner used to perform okay then? You say you tried converting to Wave first, and then burning with no difference? Can you try writing a disc image to Hard Drive, and burning from that? Also, what brand of media are you using, and are all the bad burns from the same batch of discs? Perhaps you can try using either a different brand, or a different batch at least. If these errors continue across differing brands, then unfortunately it is beginning to sound like new burner time. However, it may well be that swapping brands will help. Try to avoid using cheap discs, as these tend to have higher error rates. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]www.opusproductions.com Digital Audio Specialists[/small]
with nero, from memory, its like most burning programs, if you set the reading drive and the burning drive the same, it will write to the hard drive first rather than burning on the fly
Thanks for your replys, I did mention in my original post that I have changed the burner, the problen started with Optorite burner and I am now using an Aopen burner. I have used Verbatim disks for a long time with good results until now and I have also tried Memorex and Maxell disks, all giving the same results. I have now tried writing an immage and burnt the immage to disk as you suggested, still the same results. I have also shutdown background programs while burning and have my resorses at 90% for burning but still no improvement.
What mode is the burner in? PIO or DMA? Saw a thread earlier where the wrong mode was causing someone a problem, and this also rears it's head in DVD writing too. Check it out in control panel/system/device manager, and look at the burner in there. It will tel you what mode it uses. Whatever it is set to, switch it & see if that helps. Running out of ideas here!
