help on CD+G

[mribm]

Good day to all -

Please help me understand these karaoke CD's.
I have some that I would like to copy backups on - however looking at CD's - they list cda format in burner - burner is a LG CED8120B that is listed as a unit that I can use do copy with - however its just not seeing cd+g formats.

I have tried firmware updates, and 3 different software builders for this format and so far unsuccessfull at anything. Best to date is though GoldenHawk CDRWIN that actually made bin and cue -but playing this off of HDD remains blank.

I was thinking this .cdg would be easyer then DVD however..... ???

Please help me understand and figure out what I need to use to be successful in my quest.

Thanks - mribm

According to the specs on the lg site that drive does not support cd+g discs

Try using alcohol burning program as it is the only one i have found to do it for me,tried cdrwin before that and others but alcohol was the only one to do it right.

Extra information.

You can back up a CD+G format data disc using alcohol software.

However it is up to driver's reading and writing ability. If you want to
burn a CD+G disc completely, your drive must support reading and recording
subchannel data.

Subchannel

Subchannel includes Data Subchannel and Audio Subchannel, where a disc saves
additional information other than normal data and tracks. Since not all
CD-ROMs/ CD-RWs support subchannel, some game and music vendors save the
"fingerprint information" in the two sub channels. Therefore, if user wishes
backup the disc, it is considered as failed if these data do not correctly
backup. The manufacturers that use such measure of CD copy protection
include Sony's Securom ("fingerprint " has been saved in Data Subchannel),
New Securom ("fingerprint" has been saved in Data and Audio Subchannels),
LibCrypt (Sony's PlayStation) and LaserLock. The data saved in Subchannels
includes 16bytes (such as Securom and New Securom) and 96bytes (LibCript).
Therefore, the performance of CD-ROM/ CD-RW can read the two Subchannels
include: a. Raw+96, b. Raw+16, c.Raw (the data on Subchannels are
unreadable), d. none (both the data on Subchannels and normal bad blocks are
unreadable).
