Nero vs. CD5

It seems like if I construct my complete mix via , SF6, ACID 4, and Vegas and then utilize NERO 6 -- I can basically obtain more advanced CD than what I can gain fro CD5, why...

Nero supports CD text - redbook, it is faster and deals with more applications

Why did I buy CD5 - well I thought it would be better than anyother tool, but I get so many bugs with this software --

What are you guys out there utilizing for CD mastering?

What are we using ? CDA5, except when CD-TEXT required.

I record multitrack stuff in Vegas, or 2 track in SF. I construct the CD and master in CDA5.

Nero - faster ? How exactly is that: is the interface somehow more intuitive, efficient, or powerful ? Or does it burn 8x at 9x ?

What 'bugs' do you get ? I get none.

CD 's that have the tracks present but the darn tracks cannot be accessed by my cd player, whether it is my computer being utilized as a cd player, or the one in my car. The cd have errors all the time. Except when I use Nero -- I like the interface of CDA5, but Nero seems to have a better performance. I rather use CDA5, it cost me a lot more than the free Nero 5.5 that have so. Well we see --- so far these messages result in a lot of chatting but no real progress, I call support and they seem to be very traditional about the problem -- it is your computer not our software. I guess I should buy another CD burner and do away with the issue -- then I would have spent like $300.00 in total just for CD mastering capability --

Sorry, same old vague wording. "...Better performance...". Yes I suppose 'better performance ' in your case, because you have a sytem or CD writer problem. But for those of us with 'sound' systems that do write OK, the 'performance' *is* the interface.

I sincerely hope you isolate and correct the source of your problem, and we forum members are here to try and help. Some specifics like OS, CPU, RAM HDD type and configuration, other install software, background services, etc would be a good start.

It seems to be so that CDs burned by CDA5 is NOT compatible with all CD players.
Burned by other software and using same hardware CDs are compatible.
CDA5 has obviously some exceptionally compared with red book standard.
I hope Sonicfoundry do something with this feature.
