Audio CD from Vegas -- compatibility issue

Former user wrote on 2/7/2003, 2:54 PM
I recently burned a disk-at-once audio CD from the timeline within VV3. It is only one track and is 30 minutes long. The resulting CD plays fine from all of my CD devices here at home and in my car. But, the home CD player my client uses won't play the disk. I exported the 30 minute track as a WAV file and burned it with Nero and that disk plays just fine in the same player that refuses to play the VV burned one. Is there anything about burning from VV that can cause an issue with compatibility?

Did you use the same brand of disc for both burns?

Yep. Same 100 disk spindle.

Nothing to do with VV3. Most likely the brand of media in conjunction with his player (or your writer, to a lesser degree). His wasn't a 'changer' type player by any chance ? They can be pretty bad at playing CD-Rs...

His player is using a single CD unit. And both CD-R's were the same brand, burned in the same CD-R drive (Lite-On LTR-40125S). Not a big deal, just wondering if there was something else that I might have done in VV3 to avoid the bad burn. I will do a few more tests to see if it was just a fluke.

You could try different writing speeds. I seem to have best results at 8x.

Burning at 40x right now. I'll try a lower speed.

I also have had great success with 8x. I'll burn data a faster speeds but for audio, 8x has yet to produce a coaster.

I have heard that you should never burn audio at 40x and i think that 4x is the optimal speed.

actually, since he burned it in nero and it worked, it DOES have something to do with vegas... wether its a program failure, or a setting that is inncorrect.

I think that 4* is an old wives tale, but 40* Is a little fast...

are you making sure you are closing the session when you are done? or burning disc at once?

Ah, missed the Nero bit. Maybe VV3 has more trouble (overhead ) keeping up with a 40x burn than Nero, but I can't imaine how the burn wouldn't have given an error message.

Let's wait and see how his 8x burn works.

Well, I tried a few things (went through more than a few CD-R's though ;-)

Used different burn speeds, even tried burning with my other burner (Sony DRU-500A) and the CD-R's burned straight from VV will not play in this particular player, but the CD-R's burned with Nero will play without issue. I tried three different brands of CD-R's (Verbatim, Teon, Imation) at 4x, 8x and 40x. Always used disc-at-once. My friends deck is a fairly new Sony, and he has never had a problem with CD-R's playing in it.

I've tried both the VV and Nero burned discs in at least 15 CD players now (computer drives, portable, home units and automobile units -- single and multi-changer) and his is the only unit the discs will not work in. So, I'm going to figure his player is an anomaly and not worry about it anymore. Thanks for everyone's input ;-)

What are your settings in WMA...? do you have "digital" checked, etc...I don't have a line from my soundcard to my hard drive, so my only option is to go thru the motherboard...

Right now digital is checked. But, the CD-R burner in my system has an analog cable to the "sound card", which is built into the ASUS P4S8X mobo. I never set it one way or the other, so I suppose it is set to digital by default.
