The problem with CD-R in DVD-Video decks is that the media is invisible to the read lasers used in DVD-Video playback mechanisms. DVD-Video decks that can read CD-R media have a second laser mechanism just for this purpose. CD-RW requires more power than CD-R to read. Many portable CD players cannot read CD-RW. Same goes for some very old, first generation CD-ROM drives, and apparantly a small number of DVD-Video decks.

Again, as I said, the fault is the deck, not the media. Agreed. Ive also seen this problem b4 on not so old CDROM drives. Currently. With some CD Burning software it states that if the CD player you are going to use to play an Audio CD DOES NOT support CD text and you Burn a CD on CD-R or CD-RW with the CD text support option turned on then it might not play. My Girlfriends sony portable CD player is only a year old and will not play any CD-R's I burn for her. Yet they play fine on every other deck or even those really cheap players for 30/40 quid. It worries me a little as in my spare time I write a music/fashion magazine which I intend to feature a compilation on MD and or CD (CD-R). I dont want poeple coming back to me with the CD telling me it does not play on their CD player. laughing Try telling them its not the media after buying my magazine.

If you set it to something like 5 or 6 seconds you will ensure that the recorder catches the gap and pause. Now, what I recomend doing is, if you have a CD or DVD player with optical output, use WinAmp (or whatever) to convert to PCM WAVs, and burn CD-Rs or CD-RWs with Nero. I like Nero over CDRWIN because I can easilly set the intertrack gap to whatever I want, and has an on the fly rec level normalization filter.
