CDG Burning

Post by franks »

Dave
Tried burning two kJams CDG songs with Plextor 880U external burner.... Ran into problem.

Both songs played perfectly in the kJams video window(bright colors, fading & all)... however after burning same songs in burner, one song played OK(except for significant loss in color fidelity and resolution) and the other song got hung up on the Intro template but music continued(also lost color fidelity & resolution)

I repeated the burn of each song separately(one to a disc) and the same hang up playback problem persisted on the same song. Loss of color fidelity still present.

Note songs were played back on a LDC TV with standard RCA video input line.

Songs were burned using Memorex "silver" CD-R discs at 24X burn speed.

Any thoughts??

I note that the 880U does NOT advertise that it can burn CD+G:
CD-DA, CD-Text, CD ROM Mode -1/2, CD-ROM XA, CD-I, Photo CD, Video CD, CD Extra
When it doesn't actually specifically specify "CD+G" as a "Usable CD Format", YMMV.
In fact, it is listed under "Does NOT work for Sure" on my Drive Compatibility page.

It seems to be pretty well established that the Q840U does in fact burn CD+G quite well.
