Re: MD: off topic: video cd
I"m not quite sure what you're asking. But let me try, What kind of video card you have? Does it support real time MPEG1 encoding? If not, try to record to AVI using Indeo 5, 352x240, 30 frame per second, stereo/16bit/44khz. Then download a free MPEG1 encoder (BBMPEG, Panasonic Mpeg Encoder) to compress the avi to VCD compliant MPEG 1 file. Then burn a VCD using EZ CD Creator Deluxe, WinOnCD, or Nero. If you have an ATI VGA card with Video In, you can try captuing to AVI using ATI-VCR2 codec. It saves a lot of HD space. Hope that helps.

Re: MD: is MDLP worth the wait?
The only thing I don't like is I can't find any MDLP car unit in US. I have R900 and a Sony MDS-PC3. I squeeze 2 to 3 MDs into one 149 minutes MD using LP2. I can't tell the difference.

MD: My first night with MDS-PC3
I setup MDS-PC3 at home last night. I have to sit in front of it for 2 hrs to figure out how to connect it to the PC. The manual is useless. USB Hub It doesn't say if the "PS/2" type port is for controlling the machine only. From the graphic in the menu, it doesn't say I have to hook up the optical cable. I thought audio data will be transferred to that PS/2 type plug. But it isn't. Remote Control Tiny and small. I wish all the features are accessible thru the main panel. It sucks more because I have other Sony device at the same spot. When I hit "Play" it plays my CD deck too! that's not cool! Sometimes when I hit - button, it skips two tracks. Buttons The buttons on the main panel is very limited. To skip to next/prev track, I have to turn the tiny knob. The increment is very little. So I always skip 2 or 3 songs using that knob Sound Quality I have no doubt about the sound quality. The biggest reason I buy this unit is I can record all my old MD back to PC digitally. I have a Winfast 4XSound which works beautifully with digital in and out. I don't have to worry about SCMS at all. Then I encode them in MP3 (using CoolEdit 2000. it works fast! it encodes a 5 minutes song in 18 seconds). Then I rearrange all my songs and record back to MD using MDLP LP2 mode. I did it last night, sound quality is great even in LP2. I can't tell any difference. and at the same time, I expanded my MP3 collection :) LCD Display The LCD Display is not that prominent. It's small and hard to read. The white back light is really beautiful. Size The unit is like the size of a CDROM drive. It's a little bit taller. Other wise, I will just fit it to one of the drive bay. I'm thinking of using it in my car because I can't find any Car audio unit with MDLP in the US. but it might skip like hell. MCrew Software Stupid stupid stupid! I have to go to Multimedia/Audio under Control Panel to change my preference to USB Audio Hub in order to record song to MDS-PC3. In other words, I won't be able to hear any other audio event in my machine. Many software out there will let you to pick either "Wave Mapper" or a specific device! If the software uses only that USB Audio, why they don't hard code it to the software to use it? It's getting annoying. Luckily I have a sound card with optical out. I'm going to hook up that in addition to the USB hub for mp3 song title transfer. Problem solved. Also, I can drag and drop MP3 files to the program and it transfer all the ID3 tag as track title. But if a MP3 doesn't have ID3, it will use the file name as the title including the extension .mp3 why couldn't they remove the .mp3 from the track title? Overall Don't get me wrong for most of the negative comment. I love this puppy. The best part is I can reduce the number of MDs I have by using MDLP moving files digitally without any lost. I would recommend it if you have a sound card with optical I/O and want to do serious MP3 recording to MDLP.

It has a 9X hardware mp3 encode acceleration. But CoolEdit 2000 is even faster! AMD Rocks! the CPU costs me $80. I still remember the old day, I use L3Enc to encode wave to MP3 in DOS mode.

Re: MD: Size of WAV files from decoded MP3 files
If you convert an mp3 back to wave using uncompressed PCM, that's the same as the wave file you ripped from CD. Bob was right, the size of the wave file is depends on the frequency, bit depth, and mono/stereo channel.

I believe there are daughter boards that you can buy to add a digital input to SB Live. And when you have all of that setup, you have to have a program that will record the signal from your MD deck, which you can then save as a WAV file.

I've just touched the surface of its features but even its audio playback screen has a fancy sound-to-light converter with loads of types to choose from.

RE: MD: Iomega CD Drive
I don't understand why they name the drive as ZipCD. It's just an ordinary cd burner. __ TAKY CHEUNG Creative Services Digital Consulting Software Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spider.net.hk/~taky -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Magic Sent: Sunday, October 10, 1999 5:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MD: Iomega CD Drive "J.

Iomega drives are not rebranded, they are manufactured by Iomega. You can use almost any software you like, as the drive comes with a device driver which is compatible with most Windows software. I know it works with Adaptec CD Creator Delux as this is the software I use with the unit at work. - - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
