Karaoke

Does anyone have a guide or can tell me how to backup my karaoke discs to cd-r? Thanks in advance!

[BJ_M]

it is supposed to be not legal to do that in the USA , but to back one up -- you use cdrwin or clonecd (prob. other software would work) ...

to MAKE one- you need cdrwin and a plextor burner and some pretty hard to get software ..

[jlec]

I do have both of those programs you mentioned. The burner i have is a TDK DVD+r 420n. I have tried clonecd, and the outcome was the audio was there, but no graphics were displayed. Is there another program out there that i can try?

Try Alcohol 120%. Also, your CD or DVD burner must be able to read and write CD+G format. Run DVDInfoPro software and see if CD+G format is checked (compatible) under drive information.

not many burners work - i know plextors do (some of them) , the old scsi 820 was the best at copying ANYTHING

I have tried dvdinfopro, and i do no see anything that pertains to cd+g.

I had done it only once using DVDShrink to rip, Nero 6 to burn (dvd-r) and it worked fine. My burner is a Sony DRX-510UL.

Byronleehk-

what does that have to do with CD+G karaoke? are you sure you're posting to the right thread?

Others-

CDRWin has good features for this.

---edit: oops, BJ_M said it 1st.
Try tyranosoft.com (sp?) or an app called PowerKaraoke for making 'em. (not free)

Download and install Clonecd. Then open Windows Notepad. Copy and paste this:

[CloneCD ReadPrefs]
ReadSubData=1
RegenerateData=1
ReadSubAudio=1
AbortOnReadError=0
FastErrorSkip=2
ReadSpeedData=0
ReadSpeedAudio=0
IntelligentBadSectorScan=1
SectorSkip=100
NoErrorReport=0
FirstSessionOnly=1
AudioQuality=3

Into notepad. Save as "CD+G.CCP" Copy the file into the PROFILES directory of CloneCD. When you open CloneCD to read from the disk, select CD+G. After it has made the file Write the file with CloneCD. This has worked great for me. Good Luck.

I asked the very same question on this forum once with no response. I searched on different forums and found out that Alcohol 120% is the best software for making backup copies of CD+G disks. I tried Alcohol 120%, and it worked! However, as I mentioned earlier, the reader and burner must be CD+G format compatible. I used my Optorite DD0203 DVD burner for both creating image file and recording from image file. When I run DVDInfoPro and select my Optorite burner, it shows check mark under CD+G reading support. There is no box for CD+G writing support, but the burner did its job. The backup copy of the CD+G disk plays just fine on Karaoke player. I tried to burn the same image file with Hi-Val 48x24x48 CD burner, and the disk was not recognized by Karaoke player. The Hi-Val burner does not show CD+G compatibility in DVDInfoPro.

P.S. One thing I noticed though: video is slightly out of sync with audio during playback of last songs.

Note: My Yamaha and Teac CD burners can read+write CD+G (most of their models can).

However, for those who can read-but not write CD+G-a good solution would be to get an app called cdg2avi and convert to HuffYUV as a temp file, then go on to convert to (S)VCD or DVD the usual ways. Then it will be playable on most everything (though not on CD Audio players anymore).

HTH,

P.S.--if you're still interested in a CD burner that can do CD+G, look for "DAO96" capability. That means it can also control and burn the full R-W subcode.

I'ts pretty simple to create cd+g karaoke disks, but as has been mentioned before onlycertain writers can read and write them. I bought a plextor which does it perfectly. I use cdrwin and mp3+g toolz to do it. There are some things I can't put in this message so if anyone wants to no how to do it pm me.
