Nero Fast CD-Burning Plug-in.....???

When I mount my Ipod, Musicmatch is reading it as "Nero Fast CD-Burning Plug-in" How do I correct this?

CD Burner plug in 5.01

The will not install . any ideas why? i have an Audigy 2zs audio card. all other updates went well . ?

The Audigy 2ZS came with my Dell XPS 600... A CD Burner Plug In? works with Media Source Player 3. but the CD plugin version 5 will not work in Media Source 5 with my Dell Audigy 2ZS.. perhaps ill just uninstall version 5 of the software and stick with version 3 .. I prefer version 3 anyway as most player options are more handy in Version3 than in Version 5. thanks for your help.

Does it make my battery die faster when i plug it in the wall(every wall charger)

i was jut asking myself if it hurt my battery when i charge it on the wall because sometimes it get really hot....i used to plug my old ipod touch in a wall charger that came with my rechargeable AA battery... does it make my battery die faster?

It shouldn't, no, not when using the correct charger. The charging circuitry in your iPod has a cutoff to stop charging when the battery is completely charges. If you're using some other charger, though, that provides a different current or, worse, a different voltage, then you may indeed hurt your iPod. I'd strongly suggest you use only a charger such as the AC adapter that came with the iPod, that is verified to be compatible with your generation of iPod touch.

New FireWire DVD Burner Plugged In - DVD Player Wants To Change Region?!

I have just bought an external Freecom FW/USB 2.0 DVD Burner.
As part of my testing, I inserted a DVD-R video I had made and attempted to view it via DVD Player.
However, I got a warning window saying that as this was the first time I had played a DVD I would have to set the region.
This DVD is a home-movie and as such has no region.
Needless to say, the DVD plays perfectly when using the Superdrive.
If I did set the region would it only apply to the Freecom or would it be one of the 5 changes you are able to make to the Superdrive?
Is every DVD burner allowed 5 changes of region?
I have not attempted to change the region as normally I will not be using the Freecom to play DVDs . . . . . just burning and copying.
What exactly does changing the region affect? The DVD Burner, my iMac, DVD Player or what?

Hi Ian,
most if not all computer DVD drives allow up to 5 changes of the region code with the 5th being the last and permanent one.
The region code itself is saved inside the drive itself and each drive is 'for it's own'.

As for your home video DVD you might wanna have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVDregioncode#Circumvention

Using Dodge and Burn Plug-in

I took a photo that I like of a sunset with trees in the foreground. I've been able to crop the worst of the powerlines out but I still have two remnant lines in the body of the photo.
I have tried to figure out the workflow on the dodge and burn tool to accomplish getting rid of these powerlines with no success. I have searched this forum and the manual for instructions for using this tool.
Does anyone have a workflow that would get rid of these powerlines? I do not have Photoshop nor do I intend to buy it.

Hi there,
If all you're wanting to do is remove powerlines, I'd suggest using the Spot and Patch tool instead of dodge and burn. This should clone out your powerlines and replace them with sky for a more natural effect.
I've not used it much, so you'll need to experiment a little with the settings, or look up tutorials or other forum threads here if you get stuck.

Quick Time Sound but No Picture

I just installed the latest QT 7.5.5 for windows XP, but I can't play any video! It has sound but no picture. I cannot play any trailers from www.apple.com/trailers/. I tried to play a mp3 music, its fine. But I tried some videos, no picture just sound. It's doesn't matter what's the format of the video, all the same, just a green background.
Please Help!

Hi!
I have the same problem. I can hear the sound but see no MP4 video with Quick Time player (version 7.5.5).
I had the same problem with Windows Media Player 11 but now when I installed ffdshow Video Decoder that started to work. But it did not help Quicktime.
And selecting safe mode does not help, nor selecting legacy codecs, nor trying DirectX chekboxes on the advanced tab.
I could live with Windows Media Player but... My Adobe Photoshop and Britannica have been designed to use Quicktime player... Thus I need to get mp4 work with Quick Time.. 8-(
If it is of any help to understand the case, the list below shows what relevant items Windows Media Player understands being installed on my PC.

Itunes 7- Can't burn music to cd

Hello, I sincerely hope I can get some help. I've tried ALL of the tips on here to get iTunes 7 to burn the music I bought to a cd but I keep getting the "Disc Burner Or Software Not Found" error message.
I am able to burn music to cd using WMP 9, (and nero fast burn cd plug in) and when I go to the advanced tab in itunes it recognizes my burner drive.
Here is the diagnostics from itunes:

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I was able to burn from itunes before updating to 7, I have tried the itunes fix, I have uninstalled and re-installed itunes, I have uninstalled Nero in case there was a conflict there but nothing works.
Thank you for reading and have a great day.

I've seen post in the past about updating your drivers & firmware fixing this...unfortunately I don't know a lot about that. Hopefully this will push your post up in the list & someone elase can chime in...or you can search the discussion and find more information on this.

I updated my iTunes Software and now I cant burn CD's anymore.

I need help. I updated my iTunes Software and now I get this:
"The Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"
Disc Burner: No Disc Recording software found.
I just reinstalled iTunes when they changed the entire format about a month ago. And I have had Nero for my burning CDs/DVDs for years.

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP

Unable to Format or Burn a DVD-RW

I just got a new Samsung Slim External DVD Writer, which according to the box is Mac compatible. But after inserting a blank DVD-RW, I tried to format it by creating a partition with Disk Utility and got a "Partition failed: insufficient privileges" error, even though I was in my admin account, the DVD drive was plugged in correctly and the DVD said "DVD-RW" on it.
BurnAgain FS wasn't detecting the DVD, so I believed I needed to format it first, as I've had to do after erasing with Disk Utility a CD-RW burning session that committed an error. So I selected the DVD drive in the left column, 1 Partition under Volume Scheme, gave it a name, format and size, then clicked on Partition twice.
After getting an error, I then tried to create a disk image and got an "Unable to create 'disk1.dmg.' not recognized."
Is it true I don't have to format the DVD first before writing files to it?
If not, how do I format it?
And how do I write files to it?
Here's the disk info shown on the bottom of DU:

Just thought I'd add that I've an old, very heavy, Samsung external USB/Firewire multi-drive. Mine was from LaCie (liked the weight). Needed firmware & software drivers, which LaCie supplied with an oversight application, to update them easily.
Even after all the tech stuff was set right, to get an application to recognize the drive (in its preferences), I would occasionally have to unplug the cable, then plug it in again; or not add a disc until requested by the burning program.
These kludges I got in the habit of using. The second often suffices.
PS. iMovie & iDVD are wonderful for quickly making DVDs. Free, Aqua interfaces on Linux commands allow making or copying of double- and dual-sided discs (which don't burn as fast). 'Burn' will make analog or digital (mpeg) audio, & basic. For more details about this very complicated subjects of VCDs, SVCDs, &c, see dedicated websites. Here's a safe one I can recommend:
Afterdawn (Finland)

PS. If you have more time than discs, you might like to create a virtual disc on your hard drive, as I often do, then test it well before actually burning & verifying it. (I burn at full speed. Never a problem with Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden media.)

Extremly slow usb2 burning

hey guys...
i've got a pioneer dvr-111d 16x dvd burner (with latest firmware) in an external enclosure and it's taking absolutely ages to burn dvds. i've got certified TDK 16x discs which work fine in the same burner on a PC using Nero.
i'm burning off the local hard drive and activity monitor only shows that its reading the hdd between 1 and 1.5mB/s which is not 16x. After installing patchburn it goes to around 2mB/s. i'm pretty sure that usb2 16x burning should be at around 22mB/s.
i've tried:
-Toast 7.1
-diskutility
-2 different 111 burners
-3 different USB2 enclosures
-2 macs (macbook pro + imac g5)
-patchburn
any one else have this problem? or heard of this problem? or even better - know a solution?
in my eyes it looks like macosx doesn't like USB2 high speed burning.
cheers!!

Yes, it is plugged directly in to the macbook pro. I'd prefer not to buy another enclosure as each of the USB2 enclosures i've tried say they work on Mac and according to the commercials - everything just works.
i guess everything except USB2 burners

Burning the same project more than once

Hi guys I have a project saved on dvdsp4 and was wondering if there is any faster way of burning extra copies?yesterday I burned the first copy and it took about 2hours because it had to render the menu etc.. I saved the project and today I want to burn extra copies but it has started to render the menu again.Is this normal?or is there a faster way burning copies once the project has been built?
thanks
Danny

It's easy to burn another copy of a DVD if you have already burnt a copy of it before. Just click the "Format" icon in the toolbar. It will pop up with a window with some options. You shouldn't have to change any of these options, just make sure that the Output Device is set to your DVD drive, which it should be set to by default. Just click the "Burn" button, pop in a DVD, and you're good to go.
If you've made a few changes to the DVD, you can use the "Build/Format" button in the toolbar. It will pop up with a window similar to that of the Format window. Click "Build & Burn." It will tell you that a VIDEO_TS directory already exists, and it can reuse as much of it as possible. You can then click "Reuse" to build the new portions of the DVD, and then it will burn it on a DVD.
Hope this helps.

Error when burning dvd's

I have a satellite a305 with vista. I had been downloading torrents awhile back and got a nasty something because my computer went crazy. I managed to "fix" it except that the keyboard and mouse were nonresponsive. A usb mouse worked but no usb keyboard would install. Despite this, I was still able to burn dvd's.
Now, since it is unacceptable to NOT have a properly working keyboard I had to factory reset the computer. Now it all works great.
EXCEPT when I burn a dvd (dropping files to it....I haven't downloaded any 3rd party software) it starts to encode...gets to about 3.5% and then encodes super fast (usually burning a dvd takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours) and eject the disc after 30 seconds. A window pops up saying an error ocurred while burning the dvd. I am using memorex dvd-r discs. It did the same thing when I used my old disks (Sony dvd-r) but I assumed that since they were scratched a bit that must be causing an error.
I just want to make my DVD's. So frustrated!! I tried checking to see if Toshiba had a driver update I was missing since I did an out of the box reset, but they're screen to choose my laptop doesn't have my model available.
Any ideas for me?

Bad quality with ken burns slideshows on DVD

I've created several movies from still images using iMovie 08 (7.1.2) and its Ken Burns effect. The preview in iMovie looks really great and plays fluid.
Then I've exported the movie using the checkmark to produce a "large" video file. The result was then selectable in iDVD 08 (7.0.2).
Now I've made some nice looking menus and linked my movies to the project. The built in project preview of iDVD still showed me good looking results (the resolution was slightly decreased in order to meet DVD specs but that is acceptable).
But after burning the project to a DVD (or exporting it to an image file or VIDEO_TS folder) the quality went absolutely terrible! There are huge compression artifacts on some regions and all imported iMovie clips are studdering very heavily. Especially fast Ken Burns pannings suffer from a bad encoding quality.
It's driving me mad because those problems only appear on that part of the DVD I've created using iMovie. The (animated) menus and imported camcorder clips are playing fine in a good quality.
I've double checked the export results from iMovie (playing the produced m4v file using Quicktime and VLC) and they are absolutely fine...
Is there anything I'm missing?
The iDVD project settings are PAL, 4:3 aspect ratio and professional quality (even tried high quality and best performance at no luck). The entire project length is only ~20min...
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Okay, you are absolutely right. But it's a pity that Apple restricted the encoding engine in such a way. Users might think that a setting which is called "professioal quality" just does it job and encodes the material at this level.
I understand that a professional application like DVD SP offers a lot more settings for advanced users (without the ease of use when compared to the simple iDVD workflow) but I'm quite sure that it does this job better even with "default" settings.
For me I'm now doing those things with a 50$ version of TMPGEnc
Anyway, thanks for your help!

File name punctuation WILL cause MP3 and DVD burn errors – workaround?

OK, I’ve seen TONS of questions about problems burning MP3 format CDs and DVD. I’ve been having this problem for quite a while and today I just got ****** off enough to do some deep research. I seek to share my finding and suggestions for work arounds.
THE PROBLEM
iTunes can burn regular CDs since the song file name is not actually put on the CD. The CD or DVD burner work for burning audio discs and with other applications. All the burn preferences are set correctly and have been validated. But when you attempt to burn an MP3 CD or DVD (for backup, transfer or for player that play MP3 discs), iTunes may do the following:
Checking media (iTunes will ask: “You have inserted a DVD. Are you sure you want to create a Data DVD? answer yes, it’s a blank DVD disc in a working DVD burner)
Checking playlist
Burning disc… initializing
"The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (xxxx).”
THE CAUSE
Many times the error is due to song, album or artist names with unacceptable punctuation in them. iTunes does not tell you why and the error message and Google searches and Apple support/discussion forum details are sketchy… but in most cases its “illegal” punctuation in the song name, artist or album. I isolated at lest the apostrophe ‘ there are probably other illegal name punctuations too.
The cause my be explained by Apple following ISO or Joliet file name specifications or file name length specifications for CD or DVD discs. But since this appears to be undocumented (to the iTunes user) there is a need to understand the restrictions to allow error free disc burning.
THE CHALLENGE
Even if the playlist name does not have punctuation, if ANY playlist song name/artist/album does, the DVD burn will fail. Removing the offending songs from the playlists results in a successful burn but hey, I WANT those other songs too!
POSSIBLE WORK AROUNDS
Changing actual song file name – even if you change the name in iTunes (Get Info, Info, change name, artist, album) the actual song file names are not updated and continue to have the punctuation error resulting in a burn failure.
It appears that the actual file name needs to be changed. This can be a challenge. If you change only the file name you need to add modified file back into iTunes and the old file link is now broken. This is a bigger problem if that song file is in multiple playlists (the old ones are broken and the new one needs to be substituted). This is a REAL problem if you have 2,800 songs with an ‘ in them (like I do).
LETS WORK TOGETHER AND SHARE RESULTS
I’ve seen many, many unanswered questions about iTunes CD and DVD burning problems that will likely be solved if we can collectively develop and document a workaround. So, here is
THE QUESTION
What is the best way to rename (or retag) MP3 song files to eliminate punctuation and update iTunes and playlists so these songs can be burned to CD or DVD without violating the undocumented illegal punctuation restriction? The work around may differ for OS X vs Windows users so help on both would be appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for your help!
Windows XP Pro

been searching myself to create my own cdg for use in universal karaoke players. Kjams appears to offer the most hope for all I want to do. although there's something new now called Aria which promises to do a bunch of stuff for 79 $. Otherwise, all that I want to do as listed by the original poster, would cost me Kjams lite, plus the burn plug in is extra, plus I'd need the kjams producer as I would be building a cdg by adding the synced lyrics to something I've removed the vocal from, on Audacity program. if I go with Kjams, those 3 softwares, it will cost me 150, while I'm so jealous all those PC karaoke singers have free software for karaoke they can download.
I've been buying my cdg discs at 1.99 a pop, but they don't have special songs I want to perform. Aria for Mac might just do it all but I don't need the "scratch" sound they are pushing. that makes me steer away from the software.
experimenting with the Imac 10.6 idvd movie quicktime might work. I made a few cdg but have not tried them in the club karaoke machine yet. I added the lyrics to tuneprompter which is a free software that lets you add and sync the lyrics to the music with the spacebar. thats fun. but it's all in experimental thing so far. I know Kjams does not let you add lyrics and sync them yourself. you are supposed to import cdg to kjams that are already available and pay for them. in this case I want to find my own special tunes. good luck to you. there's one other thing but it's expensive. buying software which turns your mac into a windows platform by partiioning it and you start up in one or the other. that's also about 100-150 software.

Ken Burns effect - sutible plugin for FCE

Hello,
I have been looking though the forums and searching the net for a decent ken burns plug-in for FCE that allows an iMovie style action on a photo.
As I need to inlcude many photos I want something quicker then manipulating using keyframes, BUT I really would like something in FCE not just do it in iMovie and import it in.
Has anyone come accross a decent plugin for this? preferrably one which doesnt cost more the FCE itself!
Many Thanks
Andy.

Ian,
That looks like a nice package. I remember looking at their offerings a while back, but found that my graphics card prevents their software from running on my computer. Here are the requirements taken from the Noise Industries site. These are the supported cards on both Intel and Power PC machines:
• ATI Radeon 9550, 9650, 9600, 9600 XT, 9700, 9800, 9800 XT, X800, X850, X1600, X1900 XT, HD 2400 XT, HD 2600 PRO, HD 2600 XT, HD 3870
• ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, 9700, 9800, X1600
• NVIDIA GeForce 6600, 6800 Ultra DDL, 6800 GT DDL, 7300, 7600, 7800 GT, 7800 Ultra, 8600M GT, 8800 GT, 9400M, 9600M
• NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500, 5600
For best performance, a graphics card with a minimum of 256MB video memory is recommended.
The following graphics cards are not supported:
• NVIDIA GeForce FX Go 5200
• NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
• Intel GMA 950, X3100
• ATI Radeon 8500, 9000, 9200
Then I looked at the GeeThree offerings and find that you need FCE 4. I have 3.5.1. So until a new Mac shows on my desk, I'll stick with using the motion tab to animate stills.
