I have three questions.
I use deamon tools to mount bin files and do a cd copy with nero for svcd at 4x so far so good all good quality .
I read here some time back about copying speeds.Once the movie has been encoded and burnt at 4 x if I were to make a copy of that film again cd to cd would it be ok to then burn at say 24x or is it always best to burn films at the slower speeds.
next
since using the set up of deamon tools and encoding films I have encountered a few burning problems .One which has been discussed here although i cant find it again, my writer says no cd inserted even though a blak cd is in.If i put the cd in when asked for this works more often.if it says no cd i open and shut the tray and it will eventually start burning.
with some of the failures to write its generally two reasons no seek complient or focus on tracking error tonight ive had this for first time Calibration area full.Can anybody explain these to me.
Below enclosed three logs.i have xp pro xcorporate version. and cannot turn dma on my dvd if its compatible .log2 &3 just the end of log.
