By any chance do you have the K-Lite CODEC pack installed? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 2:43 AM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Nero 7 problem
I have had a audio Nero 7 problem . I have a retail Nero 7 that I have continuously updated as versions became available, hoping that a update would resolve the problem. I have tried Nero 7 on two computers, both of which have had Nero 6 on them. Both computers have 52 speed Lite on CDRW and one has a NEC DVD burner while the other has a new Ben-Q lightscribe DVD burner. So I have done this on four different burners. My point is that this is not a hardware problem. I have installed Nero 7 on both computers XP PRO SP2 fully patched. I just tried it again on a brand new build on one of those computers, with the same exact problem. I have no problem burning data DVDs with Nero 7. I haven't tried video yet because I don't use Nero for video and I want to figure out the audio problem first. When I burn an audio CD from mp3s, Nero 7 reduces the track size on some, but not all, of the mp3s. This results in missed passages during playback. I don't know why it decides which one's to reduce or what is causing this. I have a Xmas CD play list I made back in the Napster years. I have burned many copies of this, with Nero versions going back to 4, and never had a problem with the burn until Nero 7. The same play list burns perfectly under Nero 6 on the same computers. It's a 10meg download, but here is the last track on the CD with both a good Nero 6 rip and a bad Nero 7 rip... you can hear what I am talking about. www.winterlight.org/badburn.zip 5,669,242 Nero6.mp3 3,778,103 Nero7.mp3 Notice the way Nero7 has reduced the size of the mp3 This must be something to do with Nero 7 re-encoding the mp3, but what? I haven't touched any of the default settings. Anybody have any ideas what is going on?
