I'm trying to get it to make a VCD - not easy. With Nero it just says where is the file, and off it goes. compufig Frequent user Joined: 02 May 2002 Posts: 50 Post Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2002 10:34 pm Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ you lack knowledge. go post your good news in a windows forum. how much was nero again?? $79?? flare Frequent user Joined: 14 May 2002 Posts: 60 Location: Bournemouth, UK Post Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2002 10:58 pm Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ Free with the device thanks. Arson can create SVCD so I've started to use that instead. Also available form Texstars site.

I heard that the full blown version is much more powerful. How good is arson anyway in terms of cdburning? K3b seems ok as long as you don't do a cd copy (it crashes in the attempt). flare Frequent user Joined: 14 May 2002 Posts: 60 Location: Bournemouth, UK Post Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2002 10:27 am Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ You are correct it is crippled but I was just tryiing to point out that Nero works without trying to much but each of the CD burning utils I've tried all have little flaws. k3b can't handle SVCD files particularly well - or it is my lack of knowledge. Arson works OK with SVCD files but I've had problems doing a CD copy as well. XCDroast works OK with copying CD's but doesn't to my knowledge have support for burning SVCD's. So instead I use a windows utility to copy over my SVCD files from their ext3 partitions to a windows one and use Nero instead. This works reliably. Perhaps this is partly my fault as I haven't fed back my comments to the developers of any of the archiving programs.

Ripping: grip CD -> CD copying: XCDRoast Mixed music CD's: KreateCD (although eroaster has improved a lot ately) what some people see as weaknesses others see as strengths..... Confused personally, i kind of like seperating out the steps to different programs. don't ask me why....i guess it's a control thing.........lol Wink Editor's note: This thread was originally posted at the old MUB (Mandrake User Board at club-nihil).
