FEURIO BURNS WRONG ISRC-CODES! |
| Question: |
When I copy a cd-audio, on the copied cd, the ISRC-codes
read from my reader are different from the ones read by my cd-writer!
For example:
Original cd (read by the Teac cd-532s and by the Teac cd-r56s, the ISRC-codes are read
ok):
TRACK 01 ISRC ITD009900029
TRACK 02 ISRC ITD009900030
TRACK 03 ISRC ITD009900031
TRACK 04 ISRC ITD009900032
TRACK 05 ISRC ITD009900033
Copied cd (read by the Teac cd-r56s, according to it, the ISRC-codes are read identical to
the original ones)
TRACK 01 ISRC ITD009900029
TRACK 02 ISRC ITD009900030
TRACK 03 ISRC ITD009900031
TRACK 04 ISRC ITD009900032
TRACK 05 ISRC ITD009900033
Copied cd (read by the Teac cd-532s, according to it, the ISRC codes of the track n.4 is
different from the original ones!!!)
TRACK 01 ISRC ITD009900029
TRACK 02 ISRC ITD009900030
TRACK 03 ISRC ITD009900031
TRACK 04 ISRC TCJAA1942451 (!!!)
TRACK 05 ISRC ITD009900033
|
| Answer: |
We have forwared this question to TEAC. The Answer from
TEAC:
This is not a problem on CDR56S - CDR56S comply with Orange Book Part2 Ver3.1, but
CD532S does not because it developed before the standard was finalized. According to this
standard, CDR56S must record RID (Recorder IDentification code) automatically. Since both
RID and ISRC are recorded with Sub-code Q channel mode 3, CD532S can not distinguish the
data; however, CDR56S can distinguish the data because it is checking C1 and C2 bit on
Sub-code Q channel mode 3. The mode 3 data will be RID if C1 and C2 bits are 1 and 1, but
it will be ISRC if C1 and C2 bits are 0 and 0.
On the other hand, CDR55S does not comply with Orange Book Part2 Ver3.1. This mean CDR55S
does not record RID, therefore, CD532S did not have any problem to read ISRC because there
are not RID data on the media recorded by CDR55S.
The first 3 digits on RID are assigned for Manufacturer Code, the next 4 digits are for
Type Code, and the last 5 digits are for Recorder Unique Number. Our Manufacturer Code is
"TCJ". That's why the customer is seeing some ISRC as "TCJAA1942451".
In respect to this information, there seems to be no chance to read the correct
ISRC-Codes from CDs burned wth e.g. a TEAC 56 (or any other recorder comply with Orange
Book Part2 Ver 3.1) with any "old" CD-ROM.

WHAT ABOUT
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MS-AUDIO / VQF? |
| Question: |
Is it possible to implement the MS-Audio / VQF format into
Feurio! for on-the-fly burning?
|
| Answer: |
MS-Audio: The software codec provided by Microsoft
just support decoding at SINGLE speed, so you can only burn at single speed, but most
writers don't have a constant data flux even at this speed, so it s trash. Also the German
magacine C't has found out that it isn't even as good as mp3, so forget about it now.
VQF: There are no known free codecs, if you know one, tell us and we'll implement
them.

BURNING
MULTIPLE FILES AS ONE TRACK? |
| Question: |
I've got multiple files which should be one track on the
CD. By linking, they are one track without pauses but they have got multiple numbers. How
can I change this ?
|
| Answer: |
Feurio! can't do so. For Feurio!, one wav.-file is one
track. Anything else would be too complicated.
Solution: Use a normal .wav File editor to make one file out of the tracks and get
this file into the Feurio! project.
|
|
DELETING
NOISE IN THE TRACK EDITOR? |
| Question: |
I want to delete a noise with the track editor. How can I
do so ?
|
| Answer: |
You can't. The Feurio! editor is no fully functioning
editor, it's just a tool for for leveling, fade-in and fade-out, starting and end positon.
This trackeditor doesn't change the files, it just tells the starting position and so on
to the real burning prog.
This concept has a lot of advantages: Fast working, fast undo, no saving, but you can't
edit the data. This would be too complicated and would cause enormous work. Look out for
real editors like CoolEdit to change your .wav-files.
I also want to say that I don't think I should make Feurio! too big a program, it would be
too expensive and nobody uses all the functions. Most real wav.-file editors are even
bigger and more expensive than Feurio!

Is there
going to be a CD-Text update for my recorder? Is Feurio! going to support this? |
| Question: |
I've got a xyz recorder. Will there be a firmware update
for CD-text? |
| Answer: |
Only the manufacturer knows. Ask him direct. Some of them
tell us before or provide betas, but we are not allowed to tell this until its official.
So we can't tell you more than the official homepage of the manufacturer.
|
| Question: |
Will Feurio! support the update?
|
| Answer: |
It's up to the manufacturer. We want to do so, but some
make it real hard for us. If we get betas, you can get new drivers by the official release
of the new firmware or you don't have to update the drivers because when reading the new
firmware number, Feurio! knows if cd-text is supported. If the manufacturers don't want to
work with us, it could take more time or if they use non-standard code, it can be
impossible.
|
|
I want to
use track at once instead of DAO, is it possible ? |
| Question: |
I want to burn one track on a CD and later another and so
on (e.g. sampler). Is this possible?
|
| Answer: |
You can't do with Feurio! Because: Feurio! uses Dao.
(Feurio! only uses TAO if the recorder doesn't support Dao) The whole CD has to be
recorded at once without any delay.
We decided to NOT support TAO cause cou can’t produce perfect CDs with TA:
 | Errors between the tracks:
Normally a CD has all the data in one row. By using TAO, there are gaps because the laser
beam pauses between the tracks. So some blocks are samcked up and defect (normally 2
seconds). Some discman with anti-shock protection read ahead and hang up reaching those
tracks.
|
| No linked tracks:
There are always gaps between the tracks at tao, if you have live concerts, you hear the
gap and it clicks not that nice if you hear the voice and then a two second gap before the
next word!
|
| Problems with the capacity:
The gap between the tracks can't be calculated exactly, if we go to extrems, perhaps one
tracks can't be on the Cd because of the gaps.
|
| Problems with different TAO lengths.
You can’t change the Index0 gaps to any value you like. Some recorders only support 2
secondes, other recorders supports various range of index 0 gaps.
|
| No Index 0 music
You can't hide music in the Index 0 section of the CD. |
That's why Feurio! doesn't support TAO.
Recorders which don't support DAO use TAO, but you can't use the particular advantages of
TAO.
The TAO method would require a total different program. For example you don't need the
Manager and the burning prog. You don't have to seperate them.

I want to
print multiple copies of a cover but I can't check the box. Why? |
| Question: |
I want to print multiple copies of a cover, but I can't
change the "Number of copies" box. Why? can't you change?
|
| Answer: |
The printing dialogue is from your printer driver, only a
new driver can change.We don't know any solution to activate the box from Feurio! for a
manual change. We thought about a dialogue before the printing dialogue which activates
the printing dialogue several times, but we thought it wolud be to scary to have 2
dialogues all the time for a normal user.-)

Can I decode
/ burn mp2 files with Feurio? |
| Question: |
I've got some mp2 files, can i burn them with Feurio?
|
| Answer: |
Feurio! knows mp2 and can deal with it. But I don't have a
codec to decode those files. All mp3 codecs just work with mp3 but none supports mp2. If
you find a codec tell us. It should be possible to implement it theoratically.....
Remark: We always get mails like "But xyz- supports mp2" This doesn't
help. Those progs have internal routines to decode. Feurio! can't use them. We need a
codec which registrates at the windows sound system. Or a codec which has documentation
and open interfaces. (Command line interface isn't enough)

|
Why doesn't
my CDRom reach it's max velocity according to the device test? |
| Question: |
The device test says my CDRom works at 12 x. But now
reading audio, the speed is slower. Why?
|
| Answer: |
The reading speed is very much related to the positon of
the data. The inner part is read more slowly than the outer parts. If the diference it
with the same Cd at the same position, your HD might be to slow the data has not just to
be read but also to be written.
Hint: Check out Program -> program parameters and the buffer setting. Look out
for the display of the buffer. If ist full at reading most of the time, your HD might be
to slow or you have to change the buffer settings.
Note: If your CDRom and your HD are both IDE and work at the same channel, a
problem with the bus occurs. It isn't possible to use multitasking . A command has to be
finished until a new command can go to the next device. Even if the CDRom looks for the
data and doesn't tranfer data, the bus is blocked.HD and Cdrom block each other try
different IDE channels.
Hint for Windows 95/98 and SCSI-CD-ROM:
Win 95 and 98 often use CDROMs in a slow mode. So they block the SCSI bus longer
than they should.
Try this:
Start the Device manager, choose CDROMs, choose settings, activate seperation DMA and
synchro data transfer.

|
How can I
avoid having the CDR ejected after each simulation? |
| Question: |
I realized that Feurio! ejects the CDR after the
simulation. How can I prevent?
|
| Answer: |
Normally, Feurio! doesn't eject the CDR after the
simulation. But some writers think, the CD is full of data after the simulation so Feurio!
has to eject the CD to make the writer think the CDR is still empty!
|
|
Why isn't my
CDROM detected? |
| Question: |
When starting Feurio, Feurio! doesn't know my IDE-Devices,
it is just showing the SCSI-devices!
|
| Answer: |
For sure Feurio! works with IDE-devices, but it needs an
ASPI-driver.The drivers provided with Win98/95 don't work sometimes, so check out for a
new ASPI-driver (see link-page).
WinNT can use a special mode "DeviceIOControl" to use all drives which are
supported by WinNT
|
|
Why does the
cover editor just print the tiles but not the artists? |
| Question: |
I've made a sampler and filled out track and artist for
each track.Why doesn't the editor print the artist?
|
| Answer: |
Just check the box "Sampler" in the CD-editor or
the CD-view!
|
|
How do I
have to set Feurios buffers? |
| Question: |
How do I have to set the buffers for Feurio?
|
| Answer: |
There are many answers, so just a few suggestions. The
more buffer, the more stable is the wirte-process, but there is less memory available for
other applications. Just try. Do one or two simulations and look at the buffer. But in
general: The faster your device burns, the more buffer your need.

|
When will it
be possible to burn MP3 CDs? |
| Question: |
I think there will be CD-players for MP3 CDs in the near
future. When is Feurio! going to be ready for burning those CDs?
|
| Answer: |
First I've got to know the filesystem and the
specifications of those systems, only then I can start to program a particular version.
|
|
How can I
get rid of the 2 second index 0 gap before the first track? |
| Question: |
I can edit the Index0-silence lenght in general but it
doesn't seem to work with the first track, why?
|
| Answer: |
You can't! EVERY Red Book standard audio CD must have a
two second gap before the first track according to the standard. But all the audio players
start at 00:02:00 so it doesn't mind. Without this gap, the CD would certainly be only a
coaster. This is also the reason why the whole project is always two seconds longer then
the added length of the tracks itself.

Why doesn't
the CDDB online database work! |
| Question: |
The CDDB database doesn't seem to work, please tell me
why.
There is always the problem: " Error connecting"
|
| Answer: |
First of all, you should try another server, perhaps your
server is offline. Go to CDDB-database, choose CDDB-Onlinedatabase and click at site-list.
Choose another server. If that doesn't work, you might have a problem with your provider.
Your Proxy-sever might be the problem or a firewall.
|
|
Where can I
download the latest CDDB database? |
| Question: |
My version of the CDDB-database is rather old. Where can I
get a new one?
|
| Answer: |
Nowhere! Since November 97 the authors do not provide them
any longer. If you want to complain, mail to the authors (http://www.cddb.com).
|
|
I've bought
the Feurio! CD. Where is the CDDB database file? |
| Question: |
I've bought Feurio! on Cd. Isn't it possible to copy the
database to the Cds in order to save online time?
|
| Answer: |
I'd like to do so, but due to copyright reasons, I just
can't do it.

|
The MP3s
playtime in the harddisk card is wrong! |
| Question: |
The mp3s playtime is wrong if the files aren't recorded at
128 kBit/sec!
|
| Answer: |
Just activate the box "Show full mp3 info" in
the "harddisk" menu. Then everything will be fine althought it takes more time
to built up the filestructure!
Background: Feurio must know the bitrate to calculate the playtime of an mp3 file. If the
box "Show Full mp3 info" is disabled, Feurio! doesn't know the bitrate and
calculates its lengths by 128 kBit/sec. If enabled, Feurio! can calculate the time without
any doubt.
|
|
How can I
get the same audio level for multiple tracks? |
| Question: |
I've got different tracks from different sources in one
project. How can I get the same level for all tracks ?
|
| Answer: |
There are two ways:
1) Automatic leveling by Feurio!
Got to the Trackeditor, choose "extras" and got to "Regulate (whole
project)"
This has got certain limitations so look at the Help file.
2) Manual leveling.
Just look out for a loud passage within the track, and set an emphasis in the trackeditor
or waveplayer. The passage should just be emphasized enough to reach a red level in the
bar.
I often get messages that "Nothing happens when doing the leveling", but don't
be afraid. The .wav-files aren't changed, it works on the fly while burning for some
reasons:
| There are no floatingpoint problems at rounding the levels.
|
| Your can undo each operation
|
| It takes time to create a new 40 MB .wav-file
|
| You can hear the change immediately and without delay
|
| It works with mp3-files without having to encode those again
|
|
|
Why doesn't
Feurio! make 1:1 copies? |
| Question: |
I copied a CD with Feurio! There is always an offset
within the copy. When is this problem going to be solved ?
|
| Answer: |
This is not a problem of Feurio!, its a problem of Audio
Cds. Audio Cds have got no Sector indices to konw where exact the data is stored. All data
is in a long chain. In this chain, there are subchannels encoded. One of this subchannels
contains a time mark, but it varies by 1/75 sec. This subchannel is used for the time LED
of your audio player.When reading one of those Cds, a CDr has to interpret the subchannel,
because there are no real sectors. That's the Problem. Cheap CDROMs read just the first
data the subchannel fits into, this is how the jitter errors occur. At different read
access, the CDROM provides different data.Good CDROMs have a jitter correction which looks
where the subchannelblock ends and always provides the same data.. Those corrections vary
due to different firmware releases from CDROM to CDROM, there is always a different
offset. And Writers also create different subchannel data, so it is also important which
writer has burned the CD. If the CDROM provides the real data, Feurio! creates a 1:1
copy.. Normally, this doesn't work but the offset is under 1/75 sec, so nobody can hear
it. It the Jitter correction doesn't work, you can use a special function of Feurio! Got
to program parameters, device parameters, special parameters and give an offset to each
sector. Feurio adds this offset to each sector. By finding out the exact offset of your
drive, you can correct the CDROMs errors. At this time it is just possible to correct by
hand, but I am working at a function to calibrate the CD-roms by reading a burned
Test-Cd-R
|
|
Where can I
get a MP3 codec? |
| Question: |
Feurio! says I need a mp3 codec to play / burn mp3 files.
Where the hell do I get it ?
|
| Answer: |
There are two Ways:
1) Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 4.0:
Install the IE 4.0 with the Full installation option. Installing the netplayer, the codec
is also installed. You can remove the other components afterwards in the system panel.
2) Audioactive Production Studio.
The trial-version of the audioactiv production studio will install an mp3-Codec in your
system.
Simply download the trial-version at "http://www.audioactive.com/download/" and install it!
(IMPORTAND: Do REALLY download the "production studio" and NOT the mp3-player
or mp3-decoder)
|
|
Why doesn't
Feurio! work with the xyz encoder? |
| Question: |
The Fraunhofer codec takes up a long time, why doesn't
Feurio work with the xyz codec?
|
| Answer: |
There is a special interface in Windows, Feurio works with
all codecs which support the standard of this interface. But some programs don't fit into
this standard, so it's not Feurio which needs to be changed but the codecs. So complain to
the codecs programmers! But time isn't everything at converting mp3, the more time it
takes, the better is the quality. I personally prefer to wait twice as long and have a
better quality.

The cover is
too small / large! |
| Question: |
The cover, inlay or label are to small / large, can you
change it ?
|
| Answer: |
Do it yourself! Go to the covereditor choose
"File" and "resizing cover" and fill in the right measures!
|
|
Feurio!
doesn't know my recorder (especially IDE devices)! |
| Question: |
My writer isn't detected by Feurio!
|
| Answer: |
There are 2 possible ways to solve this problem:
1) The writer is disabled.
Feurio can disable devices. Because some CDROM don't report correct as CDROM devices to
the system they could be a Cdwriter, you know... Feurio disables those devices.
To enable such a writer, to the following:
| Start the Feurio! Writer Got to Program -> Device Listing (If you
don't find the writer, check out 2) |
| Choose the writer, go to "device info"
|
| Check out the box "Use this device as writer"
|
| Choose the driver in the opening box, normally you can accept the
suggested driver. |
2) The writer isn't recognized by the ASPI-drivers of your system
If your ASPI-drivers is old, check out for a new ASPI version also if it's IDE, make an
update of your ASPI driver.
If the Writer isn't installed at all, check out the whole installation for the hostadaptor
or the channels for the IDE drives Check out the SCSI Ids |
|
Renew the
CDDB database check of a particular CD? |
| Question: |
I can't find a particular Cd in the CDDB database. If I
put the Cd again into the drive, it isn't requested again. Is this an error?
|
| Answer: |
No. Renewing the check for a CD makes up a lot of
Internet-travel which isn't necessary. So a CD is locked for some days. Your can change
this time for locking at the menu: CDDB database, CDDB onlinedatabase "Request for
unknown CDs after xx days". Just fill in 0 for immediate request.
|
|
Is there any
possibilty to get a project which has crashed into the database? |
| Question: |
Will there be any possibility to get crashed projects into
the database. I had some crashes due to overburning and so the Cd isn't written into the
database and I have to fill in the data again.
|
| Answer: |
This option is provided. Go to CD-Manager, put in the CD,
choose the project, click the button "Assign" in the project-TOC. This button
assigns the project to the CD and into the database.
|
|
Since I
installed Feurio! xyz program doesn't seem to work any longer ! What the hell did Feurio!
install? |
| Question: |
My xyz doesn't work any longer since I installed Feurio!
What f... did it install?
|
| Answer: |
Feurio doesn't install any drivers, system enhancements,
systemdata or anything else. Just the Microsoft Visual C Runtime databases are installed -
after request! No data in the system directory is changed. There MUST be a different
reason for this malfunction. Think about a driver being loaded only after booting again
when installed! Look carefully at your driver config.
|
|
Does Feurio!
work with other burning programs? |
| Question: |
I want to install different programs for burning. Does
Feurio work with them?
|
| Answer: |
See one up. Feurio doesn't install any drivers so it
should work with most programs.
But not every program is that nice. Some install drivers which prevent Feurio from
working. If a program installs drivers and the system doesn't work properly thereafter,
deinstall the drivers by going to windows/iosubsys and reinstall the ASPI driver from the
CD
Some examples:
Nero: It works nice. Nero installs a driver for disabling auto-insert-notification
and for temp-data: NEROCD95.VXD, if it causes any problems, just deinstall the driver.
Win On CD: Caused a lot of problems, which should be solved. Download the latest
driver or rename the c2 XXXXX.vxd drivers in windows/system/iosubsys/. WinOn CD works
without those drivers if a correct ASPI is installed. Reinstall the ASPI driver after
installing WinOnCD
Packet-Writing Programs: Argh! Cause a lot of problems because of locking the
device, always looking for new data,.... Just shutdown this program, deintsall or exclude
your devices from those packet-writing programs.
|
|
While
reading CDs I constantly get error messages |
| Question: |
When I try to read a track, an error message pops up!
|
| Answer: |
Different cases should can cause this problem:
- Reading doesn't work at all. (directly after starting the operation).
The device isn't configured correctly. Check out Programm paramters and set new read
settings.
- Reading works, but indices or creating an image doesn't work.
The index information isn't configured properly, many IDE CDROMs can't read them. Got to
Programm, program parameters, special parameters. Change Subchannel data (index) read more
in the Help file.
- Reading works in general, but there are messages like track smaller 4
secs copying a Cd I get Error reading index information.
The reading of indexinformation isn't properly setted. Got to Programm, program parametrs,
special parameters. Change Subchannel data (BCD) read more in the Help file.
- The data contains cracking noise or error occur without scheme!
Many CDROMs cant read Audio data properly. But other problems can cause this effect:
 | Wrong terminated SCSI-bus
|
| Too many devices in the bus, too long wire
|
| Old ISA-SCSI hostadaptor
|
| IDE-CDROM: No busmaster driver
|
| IDE-CDROM: DMA mode doesn't work
|
| IDE-CDROM: Wrong Master-Slave configuration
|
| Old ASPI drivers
|
| Drivers of other burning programs
|
| Packet CD, Direct Cd or other packet writing programs
|
| Scratched CD or dirty CD
|
|
|
The cover
editor doesn't print the labels |
| Question: |
I created a cover and a label, but feurio doesn't print
the label.
|
| Question: |
The Covereditor crases after I wanted to print a label
inlay!
|
| Answer: |
This isn't the fault of Feurio! Your printer driver
doesn't support round clipping. The Bmp of the label is round, so there are just two ways
to solve this problem:
- Get a new driver for your printer
- Deactivate round clipping by checking out Measurements in the file menu
of the covereditor. Choose label got to mask print on label area. Disable. Now the label
is printed with a square, this should work on most printers, but the text can be slightly
larger than the label!

|
Why can't my
xyz player play Feurio!s CDs? |
| Question: |
I have burned a Cd with Feurio, but it's a coaster to my
audio player! My CDROM can read the CD though!
|
| Answer: |
This is not an error of Feurio!
Burned Cdrs haven't got the physical appearance of normal CDs, the reflexion is different.
If your player is older, or the lens is dirty, normal CDs might work, but CDRs don't. But
also writing speed and the layer of the CDr are very important. Sorry, but you have to
try. 80 Minute CDRs often don't work at all. I once got a mail saying: But my writer
should work best with those CDrs, according to the manufacturer! It might burn best, but
if it reads best in your audio player......
|
|
Why doesn't
my TEAC 55 show the CDRs manufacturer nor the recorders buffer? |
| Question: |
I've got two writers, a xyz and a TEAC 55. The xyz shows
the CDrs manufacturer but the Teac doesn't. Why ?
|
| Answer: |
The Teac 55 isn't able to read the Cdr Id, a code is
written onto the CDr which contains some information about the CDr.
|
| Question: |
I've got an xyz writer and a TEAC 55 Why doesn't the TEAC
show the buffer while recording like the xyz writer?
|
| Answer: |
The Teac 55 isn't able to provide the buffer data. |
|
How can I
copy multiple tracks at once? |
| Question: |
I want to copy multiple tracks at once, e.g. track 1,6,7,
11. How can I do this?
|
| Answer: |
Just like in EVERY Windows program you can use the control
bar to select different tracks and copy them by cut and paste or drag and drop. Copying
multiple tracks which are from 1-5 or 4-8 e.g. select the first tile, press the shift bar,
select the last title copy copy them by clicking with the mouse
|
|
Is there a
printed documentation for Feurio? |
| Question: |
I'd like to have a written documentation for Feurio!.
Where can I get it ?
|
| Answer: |
There is none. For some reasons:
- It would never be really up-to-date
- Feurio includes a complete, detailed and updated Online-Help
- If you need a particular written documentation, just print some pages
from the help files.

Copying Cds
with into-each-other fading tracks? |
| Question: |
How can I create Cds having tracks linked or fading into
each other e.g. for mixes, live-concerts? Can Feurio burn without gaps?
|
| Answer: |
Yes: Using the direct copy option in the Feurio Cd-Writer,
all the gaps of the original cd are copied one by one. If you read the tracks from the
manager, read all tracks at once, select "autodetect linked tracks". If that
doesn't work, you should try Reading tracks in a row which forces linked tracks. Those
tracks are markes with an < in front of the track number, this indikcates two linkes
tracks. Feurio will never add a gap between two linked tracks.
By the way, your writer must support Dao to burn linked tracks.

Making CDs
with into-each-other fading tracks? |
| Question: |
I've got a huge wav-file, I want to burn as several
tracks. There shouldn't be a gap between the tracks, the tracks should fade into each
other. How does it work?
|
| Answer: |
- Copy the file into a project.
- Start the trackeditor
- Look for the end of the first track, place the cursor, click on
"Split track (linked)" (5th icon from the left) or menu "Split track"
in "actions"
- Repeat these actions for all the other tracks
- After this, there is a new tracklist of the project in the window. The
tracks are markes as linked tracks by <, there is no gap between those tracks
Your writer must support dao to burn this way. |

Problems
with the CRC checksum of a MP3 file |
| Question: |
Im using Bladeenc to create mp3 files. I've chosen CRC
checksum in the encoder options. I can read the waveform image in the editor, but there is
no sound. What's wrong?
|
| Answer: |
The BladeEnc doesn't work properly creating CRC checksum,
I already contacted the author. You can see the waveform because Feurio reads this image
from an overview file. It contains a reduced image of the mp3 file. The whole mp3 can't be
read apart from this image, so it only seems to be completely okay.

Saving the
database? |
| Question: |
For reinstalling Feurio!, I want to save the databases in
order to prevent myself from being forced to enter each Cd again. How can I do this?
|
| Answer: |
Just copy all the db_xxx.cdb from the Feurio directory
into another directory, reinstall Feurio! and copy them back!
|
|
Feurio!
doesn't find my.wav files any longer |
| Question: |
I've bought a new HD, so the drive letters have changed.
Now Feurio doesn't seem to find my .wav Files. What can I do?
|
| Answer: |
Every project saves the path of the files, so the new path
might not be in the projects file. Solving the problem:
| Get the drive into Feurios list (Menu: "programm", entry
"select data paths") |
| Choose the project, choose project parameters, press control and select
the new paths.
|
|
|
Is there a
denoiser/declicker in Feurio? |
| Question: |
I've made an image of an LP on my HD, how can I denoise
this .wav file?
|
| Answer: |
- Feurio is quite a powerful tool, but it can't feature everything!
- A good Denoiser isn't just a simple piece of software they aren't that
expensive for some reasons!
- I can't program those things myself and it would cost a lot of money to
give someone the order to built one, Feurio would be more expensive. But if someone grants
me one as a gift, Id accept...
- And: I didn't find any good denoiser / declicker at all, I prefer the old
Lp noise than having my old music sound strange.

Why doesn't
my Quadspeed (or higher) CDRW work at full speed? |
| Question: |
My Writer doesn't reach full speed burning CDRW? WHY?
|
| Answer: |
You need special CDRW which have the specification for
Quadspeed (or higher). Normal CDRW are written at doublespeed!
|
|
I've got
problems with 80 min CDRs |
| Question: |
I want to burn oversize with my writer but it just doesn't
work!
|
| Answer: |
It's not a problem with Feurio! It's a hardware problem.
80 minute CDRs don't fit into the Red Book standard, so they are illegal. Normally, a CD
can contain 74 minutes of data, but there istsome additional space in reserve. This space
is used to produce a 80 minutes CDr. If there is any tolerance in burning the CDR there
will be an error burning the CD. So the manufacturer is even more important and his
quality. Some writers don't support those media, because it isn't contained in the red
book standard. Just give it a try if your writer supports oversize.
|
| Question: |
My Player doesn't read oversize media !
|
| Answer: |
If the quality of the CDr isn't okay due to the lack of
tolerance for oversize media, the player just reads clicking and cracking. Feurio doesn't
care if the media is oversize, burning is the same. So try out another speed or media.
|
|
Why do I get
error messages like "can't lock device" |
| Question: |
When I start burning a CDr, I get the message "can't
lock device". What does it mean?
|
| Answer: |
This might have several reasons. The drive letter might be
wrong, some program tries to access the writer or the writer is e.g. opened in the
explorer.
| WIN95/98: Deactivate auto-insert-notification |
| Deactivate Packet-Writing programs or virus scanners which might lock the
device. |
| Solution for packet Cd: Context menu, properties, device, exclude from
packet cd. Just disable the writers setting, not the setting of the CDROM or your UDFS
can't be read any longer!
|
|
|
Why can't I
create MP3 files? |
| Question: |
I want to create MP3 files with Feurio, but I can just
choose the wave format. Why ?
|
| Answer: |
You need an mp3 codec to create mp3 files. Normal codecs
just can decode mp3 files. You can check your codec by going to program parameters,
mp3.settings, Just look out for chosen codec and capabilities. The normal Fraunhofer codec
just can decode (Only the professional version can encode).
You can use the Bladeenc as an alternative: Choose program parameters, mp3 settings,
creating mp3 files, about bladeenc.
|
|
Why doesn't
Feurio! have codecs to create / decode MP3 files? |
| Question: |
It would be more easy if I didn't have to use external
codec for mp3 files. Why doesn't Feurio contain a codec?
|
| Answer: |
There is a copyright issue on the mp3 format and no
"commercial Freeware" is tolerated.
|
|
Why doesn't
my 32 max CDROM work with full throttle? |
| Question: |
I have got a 32 max CDROM, but I just can grab audio data
at 15 X speed. Why? can't you optimize Feurio?
|
| Answer: |
- All the new CDROM have no constant velocity. They reach their full speed
at the outer sectors of a CD. Audio CDs often aren't full, so the CDROM doesn't reach full
speed.
- The ratio is for Data CDs.
Audio CDs are much more compliacated to read (cause they have no sectormarks).
15 x speed is nearly heaven, just some drives get that fast. But at this speed, the
quality of the data is often very poor.
|
|
Why doesn't
my writer support overburning? |
| Question: |
I want to overburn a CD, but I always get error messages.
can't you correct Feurio ?
|
| Answer: |
I can't. The firmware of some drives prevent overburning.
Every CDR contains the maximum record length, many writers read this data and can't write
into "illegal" sectors even if the software wants to. Some are really mean, they
make you think that overburning is okay, but they stop after the nominal playtime and
deactivate the laser. It is no problem of Feurio! or a driver problem. You need to change
the firmware of the writer. But those writers work correct, they don't want to write CDs
having "illegal" sectors.
|
|
Why doesn't
my writer support CD-text? |
| Question: |
I want to create a Cd having CD-Text, but I can't. Do I
have to download a new driver or a new writer?
|
| Answer: |
Theoratically, every writer could write cd text but
practically they can't!
The Problem: The CD-text data is stored in the R-W subchannels of the leadin. All the
writers write the leadin and all the subchannels, but most writers write just zeros into
the sr-w-subchannel. The software can't change this.
Every Dao supporting writer could write CD-Text if you can get a firmware update, most
manufacturers don't support new firmware for old recorders, some want to some don't.
Feurio! can't change the situation.
|
|
Why do I get
buffer underruns / systems config |
| Question: |
Feurio! shouldn't get buffer underruns! Why do I get some?
How can I optimize my system?
|
| Answer: |
There is always the possibility on a Win95/98 system that
you can get buffer underruns. But some things can reduce the risk:
| Installing a busmaster driver for all the IDE devices |
| Deactivating Microsofts FindFast provided with Microsoft Office in the
system panel. |
| Active Disconnect in the system-control-panel for the cd-writers/cd-roms
|
|
|
What about
the CPUs usage while reading / burning a CD ? |
| Question: |
Why is the CPU usage that high during burning / reading.
It just has to be some per cent, doesn't it?
|
| Answer: |
There might be some reasons:
| IDE devices without busmaster drivers.
Windows uses all IDE devices in the programmed i/o mode (PIO) which involves the CPU
active. This takes a lot of time and usage. You have to activate a busmaster driver.
Where can I get a busmaster driver?
Normally, it should be shipped with your system or your drive. If you don't own own, try
to download it from the support page of your mainboard manufacturer, or try to get a
generic busmaster driver at http://www.bmdrivers.com
Windows 95 Users: Be careful!
After installing the busmaster driver for Win 95, the DMA mode isn't always activated. You
have to check out the box your CDROMs in the system panel and activate the DMA box. If you
don't see any, DMA doesn't work or isn't properly installed. Some old devices don't work
with DMA, pleases deactivate if errors occur. |
| Burning mp3 files which are compressed must be decompressed while
burning. This decoding takes a lot of time.
|
|
|
Using CDRWs |
| Question: |
Is it possible to use CD-RWs?
|
| Answer: |
Yes. You can use those media like a normal CDR media, if
your writer supports CDRW.
You can erase the CDRW in the menu extras.
Be careful: A lot of old audio players or CDROMs can't read CDRW discs.
|
|
Disc-at-Once
/ Track-at-Once: |
| Question: |
Where can I select between TAO and DAO?
|
| Answer: |
Feurio is just burning in the DAO mode to create perfekt
audio cds. Only if the writer doesn't support DAO, the writer records with TAO.
|
|
Copying data
files / creating data files |
| Question: |
Can I copy/create ISO 9660 data CDs with Feurio!
|
| Answer: |
Feurio is made up for audio Cds. Feurio would be more
expensive and it takes a lot of time and manpower to create the support for data discs.
The Feurio Professional version provides the possibility to burn nero images and to copy
iso-cds in order to record on many devices at once.
|
|
Recorders
buffer monitoring: |
| Question: |
While simulating, I see the recorder buffer. Why not
during burning?
|
| Answer: |
You need more commands and CPU usage to get the
information from the writer. This might cause an buffer underrun, but if you want to, you
can activate the bar in the parameters dialogue.
|
|
Cutting
silence in the middle of the track |
| Question: |
On one of my CDs, there is a gap of 5 minutes silence
after the last track and then a bonustrack. How can I cut out the silence?
|
| Answer: |
You can do this by making a little trick. Just make 3
tracks from the regular track, set fade out and fade-in and delete the middle, silenece
track. See the linked-tracks section for furthermore instructions

Buffersize
of a Yamaha CDR 200, 400, 2260, 4260, 2261, 4261,2216, 4216, 4416 / Plexwriter: |
| Question: |
The size of my writers buffer should be 2 MB, why does
Feurio just support a fracture?
|
| Answer: |
The answer of the Yamaha support was:"The size of
the dDRAM is 2 MB however the area for the host is 500 blocks. For instance, in case of
Mode 1 data (2048 bytes per block) the buffer area for the host is 2048x500 byte. In case
auf audio-data (2352 bytes per block), the buffer area for the host is 2352x500 byte
(1,176 MB)."

The audio
level playing a *.wav file is different from the CDs level! |
| Question: |
The level of a CD played in the CDROM is different from
the same wav-file on the HD. Why ?
|
| Answer: |
If you play an audio cd with your CDROM, the CDROM
converts the digital music into analog voltage, the converted data goes to the soundcard.
If you play a .wav file, the audiodata is converted by the soundcard into analog data.
Because the converters of both soundcard and CDROM are different, the sound in a different
quality and volume. But most soundcards also provide a mixer which can have different
volume settings for CDROM and wav files. Look at the manual of your soundcard. Both
volumes must be at the same level to achieve the same output. |
