[color=red][size=18]PROBLEMS WITH MAKING AUDIO CD[/s[/color]

kguragain · 28-12-2005, 03:50 PM

I brought SONY DVD RW DRU - 810A a week ago. It works absolutely fine for writing & reading. But my problem is: when I am trying to make Audio CD in 4x speed, I can’t see 4x speed in speed selection options. I had made an audio CD in 8x speed but my normal audio player could play it. I know the best speed for Audio CD is 4x. There is only 8x or higher in speed selection menu. I want to make Audio CD in 4x speed at any cost, so if somebody has any idea, please help me! I am using the Nero 7 Premium for burning.

The speed that will produce the best burn will depend on the media and the writer. That *may* be 4X. Equally it may not. It is a question of burning a 'signal' that the reader will be able to handle. Each
writer/media combination will produce a *slightly* different result. That difference can be sufficient to enable or prevent accurate reading. With a suitable combination, the writer will produce readable discs at the fastest speed it is capable of writing.

Newer CD players are capable of handling the minor variations(jitters) without problem. However, if the CD player is old, you may have to burn at lower speed to allow the player to reproduce sound with good quality...

Not sure if you can change speed in Nero, but try making an Audio CD using Windows Media Player or MusicMatch Jukebox, etc... Since they are specifically for audio cds, you may be able to burn at lower speed...
