Well I borrowed my friend's AUS$900 Hewlett Packard CD Writer today.
The install program froze Windoze 98 twice. That's quite acceptable
when you work with Windoze.
The first CD copy I tried failed. The program said to fix the
problem, try restarting Windoze, or if that doesn't work try
reinstalling the drivers and programs for the CD writer.
Again that's expected when using Windoze. Reboot, and try again, this
time works fine on the same disk. Inconsistancy - well it probably
says that somewhere in the Windoze manual, quite acceptable.
A few more freezes, reboots, retries etc and I then made a nice audio
CD of my music, written with FT2 (ah a DOS program...that's probably
why they actually got done) and written to a @#$! huge WAV file on
the hard disk, then loaded into the audio CD program. CD sounds
great...for those interested in doing this, I used FT2.08 with the
config set to 44100, Stereo, 16-bit and set the WAV writing amp to 32
(max).
An interesting note about writing my own audio CD is that the
programs says that an audio CD must be written to all in one go, and
'closed' on the actual disk before you can listen to it on a CD
player.
I wrote about 20 minutes worth of music to it, and closed it, which
means a CD player can only now recognise those 4 songs. Additional
data can be written to it, but cannot be accessed by a normal CD
player. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Now where does one get the information for programing the CD writers
to make for example a DOS program?
I tried to get some information from the company that makes my car's
computer, and they said this information is 'Proprietory' and they
cant give it to me. Do they have this right?
