MakeCD FAQ
Please carefully read through the FAQ before attempting to contact the authors for support - you may find the answer in the FAQ.
http://makecd.core.de/
.
If you do not have Internet access, please contact the company that
supplied you with MakeCD-FAQ.
If you registered MakeCD-FAQ directly from the authors, you can
use the registration form to order a free demo version (you pay the postage
and packaging only -- 5 DM within Europe, 10 DM outside Europe). This offer
is limited to one floppy per letter. Enter your registration number in this
demo version to turn it into a new, registered version.
If you are not telling us which version you are actualy using, you will get
the actual version. If you tell us which version you have, we will make sure
not to send you the same version again.
You can save yourself time by paying for updates in advance. For example,
if you would like to be sent the next three updates, please send us three
times the postage and packaging fee (in this case 15 DM within Europe, 30
DM outside Europe) with a covering letter stating that you would like to be
sent the next three updates. Please don't take this to excesses - there may
not be as many updates as you pay for!
Incidentally, you do not have to be registered to order the demo version.
The offer is open to all unregistered users too, who perhaps are using old
versions of MakeCD-FAQ and are interested to see what the latest
version offers.
With MakeCD-FAQ you are able to get round this problem be setting the speed for audio CDs down to single or double speed in its preferences.Tests have shown that the CDD2600 is not 100% reliable when reading audio CDs or packet written CDs at 6x speed. This problem is caused by the hardware and can *not* be solved via a firmware upgrade.
You can get round the problem by reducing the speed for audio CDs in the settings to single or double speed.
HP is aware of an issue reading certain pressed CD-ROM disks with a single track. The most important factor relating to this problem is the data size of the disk. Disks with more than 27MB are likely not to have this problem. The less data on the disc, the bigger the chance the CD cannot be read.
Only a very small percentage of CD-ROM disks fall in this category. However there are two CD-R specific applications which may be affected:
- Adaptec Easy CD Pro
- Seagate Backup.
Analysis of the issue is almost complete as of mid-April. Due to component level work that needs to occur, a delivery date for the fix in not yet available. An exchange will ultimately need to occur when the fix is available.
Communication has gone out to small application developers and should minimize the issue in the long term. Updates will be communicated via the WWW at
http://www.hp.com/isgsupport/cdr/
as to when the fix will be made available.While work is being completed by HP and its partners to fix the issue, it is recommended that the disc be read by a standard CD-ROM in the system.
Thank You

. An
amigaguide document should appear with a link which can be used to check
the CD. Try checking the CD! If faulty files are shown without a read/write
error, your JVC burner is most probably transferring defective data without
error reports!
ILLEGAL COMMAND
. This can sometimes be solved by
shortening the SCSI bus (as Patrick found) or by using another, better
medium (as we were told by JVC). Try both! Also, a heat problem was
reported (the burner was getting to warm in a casing with a poor fan). In
one case the casing had been tightened so much that the burner was
slightly warped and developed a mechanical problem.

This error occurs not because of the size, but because of the file format. It is admittedly an AIFF file, but does not contain audio data that can be burnt directly to the CD (see the question on supported audio formats). The audio length settings are only used for data without additional information, and are therefore not used with AIFF.Source file »filename« has wrong type »wrong AIFF« or wrong size 0. Track 1 requires »Audio (normal)« with block size 2352.

.
Please bear in mind that this change will only affect those tracks that you
select after changing the settings. If you have already selected the
tracks, you need to select them all over again, since the block numbers are
automatically corrected when choosing the tracks and not when the tracks are
first read.

he could not read CDDA data at all. After he obtained the update,
everything was fine. Perhaps this will help with similar problems involving
Toshiba drives.

NSDQuery CHECKALL
. Please try to send us a copy of the driver
itself too. NSDPatch will allow you to edit the device driver without
restricting its functionality so that it no longer causes crashes.
Please turn on DEBUG
in the MakeCD-FAQ tooltypes and send
us the output generated by MakeCD-FAQ leading up to the crash.
If you are unable to adjust the device using the device selection window,
activate the MakeCD-FAQ program icon, select "Information" from
the Workbench menu, and edit the tooltypes by hand. Set
WRITE_DEVICE
, WRITE_UNIT
, WRITE_DRIVER
,
READ_DEVICE
, READ_UNIT
and READ_DRIVER
as required.
The extension .driver
must not be declared for the
