Problema
con l'importazione del database Freedb:
If you havent selected the switch "compress database" during importing,
the database would not run.
Reason: The databasefile was longer then 512 MB.
Until this version, Feurio! had accessed the files in "memory mapped"
mode.
Unfortunatly, windows 2000 and xp does support "memory mapped files"
only up to a size of 512MB.
We have changed the acess mode; now it should run even if the file is
greater then 512 MB.

Detection on DVD-R, output of
DVD-vendorcode and DVD-ATIP-Data:
We have implementeted a detection of DVD-R and DVD+R media.
If you have a DVD-Writer supported by Feurio!, Feurio! will display type
of dvd-media, capazity and dvd-vendor.
Also, you can display all pre-recordered data (like atip-data on cd-r)
of a dvdr.
IMPORTANTE: The output of the
dvd-vendorcode for dvd+r media does only work if your writer supports
reading of dvd+r-vendorcode; many DVD+RW-Writes cannot read the
vendorcode of a DVD+R! |

| Contatore-Burn-Proof per masterizzatori Plextor:
From now, after burning or simulation Plextor burners will also report whether (and how
often) Burn-Proof "pounced".
|
| Contatore-Burn-Proof / Registrazione Qualità
Audio Master per Yamaha 3200E:
From now, the Yamaha 3200e reports after burning whether (and how often) Burn-Proof
"pounced". Furthermore, as of now "Audio Master Quality Recording
Mode" is supported.
|
| Visualizzazione della velocità corrente di
scrittura:
As requested by many users, the Progress Dialog in "Expanded mode" now shows the
current writing speed and the average writing speed.
|
| Supporto per "VariRec":
Plextor's new "VariRec" (manual change of the laser power) is now supported as
well.
|
| Selezione della velocità: Mostra la modalità
di registrazione:
Quick CD burners (all burners faster than 16x) no longer burn at a constant speed but at
different speeds. There are different methods (partial CAV, ZONE CLV, ..).
Therefore, as of now, - as far as we know - Feurio! shows the recording mode in the speed
selection box after the speed, i.e. e.g. "12x (CLV)" stands for constant
recording speed 12x, "24x (Partial CAV)" for recording in Partial CAV mode (up
to a certain point, slow increase in the speed, then constant recording speed).
This display is not yet available on all burners, we will gradually ascertain this
information for all burners for which we have got test models available and include it in
Feurio!
|
| Modifiche ai driver di Masterizzazione:
As already described in version 1.62, we are currently changing CD writers to a new driver
concept.
In this version, the following writers have been "transferred":
Yamaha CDR 200/400/4001, CRW-2260/4260 and compatible (e.g. Traxdata CRW 2260/4260,
Waitec 4046)
Philips CDD 3600/3610, and compatible (e.g. Traxdata CDRW 2260 EL PRO, Traxdata CDRW 2260
Plus, Cyberdrive 602, Nomai 680.RW, Lifetec CD-RW LT 9875)
Hewlett-Packard Surestore 7100i/7200i and compatible (e.g. BTC BCE 62IE, Philips CDD 3600,
Memorex 1622, Wearnes CDRW-622, Acer CD-R/RW 6206A) |
Novità dalla 1.63 alla 1.64 (Rilasciato il 21.01.2002):
Feurio! CD-Manager:
| Special routines for defective (copy-protected)
Audio-CDs:
Unfortunately it seems to be becoming fashionable to put "defective" CDs (i.e.
CDs which do not comply with standards) on the market which then do not work in CD-ROMs,
some DVD-ROMs and some Auto-CD-Players.
As according to current legislation, copying audio CDs is expressly legal and the
"authorized use" in particular is significantly limited by these
"defective" CDs (e.g. you can not listen to them on your computer, can not copy
them onto mp3-Players), we have now included some routines in Feurio! which can correct
some defects.
In particular Feurio! now recognizes additional defective sessions and in this case, only
reads the first (correct) session.
We have tested this with various "defective" CDs -> Reading/copying all of
these CDs is possible without any problems with the current version of Feurio!
LIMITATION: It is possible that this is limited by the CD-ROM being used. Some
CD-ROMs are so "confused" by these "defective" CDs that they either do
not recognize that a CD has been inserted or refuse to read the CD.
If this is the case, then of course Feurio! is powerless to do anything - here we can only
recommend that you try it with a different CD-ROM.
|
| Feurio! Covereditor: Many enhancements:
The Feurio! Covereditor has been improved:
Tracklist Format can be changed:
The layout of the tracklist can now be changed. It is even possible to make tracklists
with several columns (for CDs with several tracks). It is also possible to define separate
attributes (character set, text size, text color) for the individual elements (number,
title, artist, playing time) leaving more room for creative design.
There are also several formats for the track list (e.g. including multiple line entries:
1st line artist, 2nd line title).
Copy & Paste -> Cover for Double-CDs!
Copy & Paste has now also been implemented for individual frames -> This can be
used for example to easily generate a cover for a double CD:
Simply open the Cover-Editor for both CDs (i.e. there are now two active sub-Windows with
both CDs), select the frame with the tracklist in one of the two covers, press
"Copy" move to the other cover, press "Insert" and then re-position
the two tracklists -> Done!
Standard character set:
In response to numerous requests, we have now made it possible to define a standard
character set which is to be used for all new covers.
|
| CDDB-Submit: Method "HTTP"
implemented:
Until now, CDDB-Submits have always been transmitted by "SMTP". In principle,
SMTP is also the best method - unfortunately however there are an increasing number of
Internet providers which do no allow "full" Internet access, i.e. no longer
permit direct IP-connections (e.g. to the SMTP-Server of freedb), but only allow indirect
connections via proxies.
Firewalls in company networks are sometimes also a problem which also sometimes block
direct connections.
To solve this problem, the Submit method "HTTP" is now supported so that the
data is transferred using a "normal" HTTP-Request - so that all submit problems
caused by Firewalls or Internet providers with limited internet access should now be
history.
|
| Error corrections:
MP3 commentary tag:
In some cases the MP3 commentary tag was not taken over correctly -> Corrected
Nero-Images Nero-Version 5.5.4.0:
Unfortunately Ahead has changed the format of the Nero-Image files again -> This
version can now also read the images from the newest version of Nero.
Reading the last track on a CD-Extra CD:
When reading the last audio track on a CD-Extra CD (and thus also some of the
copy-protected CDs) the last 2 seconds of the track were missing -> Corrected.
A-Open DVD-ROM "AOPEN 16XDVD-ROM/AMH":
With certain hardware versions of this DVD-ROM there were problems reading it: At the
start of a reading operation it always displays "Unknown error: Sense 5, ASC
64..".
Through special treatment of this drive it has been possible to get around this problem!
|
Feurio! CD-Writer:
| Problems with Windows XP:
Unfortunately there is still a problem with Windows XP after all:
If the writing progress window has been minimized, the surface of Windows XP
"freezes" until the write process has finished - i.e. although it continues
writing, it is not possible to use the computer at all!
The cause of this appears to be an error in Windows XP:
As you know, Feurio! normally sets the priority class of the writing process to
"Real-time" to thus also be able to ensure writing safely (without a
Buffer-Underrun) with burners which are not "Burn-Proof".
Unfortunately Windows XP does not appear to be capable of minimizing the window of a
process with "Real-time" priority - as demonstrated using just a small test
program (20 lines), Windows XP "gets stuck" as soon as the window of a process
with real-time priority is minimized.
For this reason we have initially set the default priorities for the CD-Writer to
"Normal" (until Microsoft solves the problem in the shape of a service pack) and
have installed a warning message if the priorities have been set manually.
|
| Program mode "One Window" eliminated:
Until now it has been possible to switch the Feurio! CD-Writer between the modes "one
window" and "several windows" which has in part led to misunderstandings.
"Switching off" the main window while writing in favor of the writing progress
window also did not always work correctly in Windows XP.
For this reason we have now abandoned the mode "one window", i.e. Feurio! now
opens a new window for every writing process.

|
| Again to: TEAC 512/516:
Unfortunately the changes implemented in version 1.62 had not eliminated all the problems
with the TEAC 512/516 after all.
However, we now really seem to have found the ultimate source of the problem:
As you know, if the writer window is open, Feurio! periodically queries the status of the
CD-Writer and issue the corresponding status information ("Tray Open",
"Loading CD-R", "Reading CD-R information").
Obviously the writer is not reading the information on the new CD-R correctly if at a
certain point in time during the loading process a certain command is sent to the writer.
The result of this was either the message "Cannot Write Media-Incompatible
Format" or several defective sectors at the start of the CD.
We have now ensured that the command in question is not sent to the writer until the
loading process as been completed - this really should finally be the solution to the
problem. If however, any other problems should occur, please contact us!
|
| Error corrections:
Mitsumi 4802:
When starting to write an error message was received that no writeable CD-R had been
inserted -> corrected. |
Novità dalla 1.61 alla 1.62 (Rilasciato il 18.07.2001):
Feurio! CD-Manager:
| Lettura Cue-Sheet File:
Feurio! can now read "Cue-Sheet-Files". "Cue-Sheet-Files" contain
information on track marks for example and are generated among others by CdrWin and EAC -
thus Feurio! can now directly read files generated by CdrWin or EAC.
Call up the function: "Project" -> "Generate Project from Cuesheet
file".
|
| Generazione progetto da una playlist:
Now a new project can be generated directly from a playlist by calling up the function:
"Project" -> "Generate Project from Playlist". This avoids the
longer route via "Generate project", "Import Playlist" and thus makes
it possible to quickly generate a project from a WinAmp playlist for example.
|
| Lettura file immagine di Nero 5.5:
Now Feurio! can also read the image files generated by Nero 5.5.
|
| CDDB Revision Marks:
Feurio! now supports the "CDDB Revision Marks". The revision marks are necessary
if you want to send corrected database entries to the CDDB-Server.
Note: You will have to re-import the CDDB database if you want to correct entries
as that is the only way to import revision marks which may exist (the CDDB-Server only
accepts corrected entries if the revision mark of the new entry is higher than that of the
old entry).
|
| Correzione Errori:
On some CD-ROM drives the following appeared if no CD had been inserted: "Error on
querying the drive".
The reason for this is that these drives do not support a certain command which Feurio!
uses to query the status of the caddy (and can thus e.g. display the message: "Caddy
open", "No CD inserted").
Feurio! will now independently determine whether the drive supports this command and if
not, will not use it.
|
Feurio! CD-Writer:
| Supporto JustSpeed (Regolazione Automatica della
Velocità):
The Ricoh 7200 is offering a "new" function: "JustSpeed"(Adaptive
Speed Control). JustSpeed automatically adapts the write speed to the medium inserted,
i.e. the writer analyzes the CD-Rs inserted and if needed, turns the maximum write speed
down.
Now Justspeed can be deactivated as an option (In the main dialog press the "Expanded
>>"-switch and deactivate the "JustSpeed" switch), so that the writer
always offers the maximum possible write speed (20x).
|
| CD-Text e copie con file immagine:
Feurio! saves "Images" as "normal" Feurio! projects, i.e. the
parameters of an image can also be edited - for this reason, in the case of an image copy,
the CD text data has always been re-calculated until now as soon as the image was
reloaded.
Many users have asked for the "Original" CD-Text information to remain.
So we have changed the behavior now as follows:
If CD-Text information was read when generating a CD-Image, this is now also saved in the
project and written onto the target CD unchanged. If the project is changed in the CD
manager, then the next time you try to burn, a dialog box will appear in which you can
select whether the ,"Original CD-Text information" is to be burned or whether
the CD-Text information should be regenerated.
|
| Supporto Cue-Sheet file, playlist MP3; supporto
Drag&Drop:
Feurio!® now also supports "Cue-Sheet files". Cue-Sheet files are generated for
example by CdrWin® or EAC® and contain information on the track distribution of a CD. So
now a CD can be burned directly from the Cue-Sheet file.
|
| Caricamento diretto Cue-Sheet file, playlist
MP3; supporto Drag&Drop:
Under "Program" there is now a new entry: "Load / import project".
With the aid of this entry you can directly load and burn a Feurio! Project file, an mp3
playlist, a Cue-Sheet file or a Nero or Iso image without having to generate a project
first.
The Feurio!® CD-Writer also now supports "Drag&Drop", i.e. instead of
calling up this function, the Feurio! project file, the playlist file, the cuesheet file
or the Nero image can simply be dragged into the Feurio!® CD-Writer window using
Drag&Drop - the file is then automatically loaded and can then be burned with just one
more click.
|
| Problemi nella scrittura/lettura della prima
traccia CD-Text con il TEAC 512/516:
Several users reported to us that CDs which had been burned with CD text using the TEAC
512/516 could not be played back correctly on several CD players:
The CDs got "stuck" in the first few seconds, but then subsequently they would
run perfectly.
We then tested this extensively here but were not able to reproduce the problem. In
version 1.61.4 / the driver update 1.61.5, we then reset the write mode for the TEAC
512/516 to "RAW". This seemed to have solved the problem - according to the
testers the CDs can now be played correctly.
Unfortunately other testers then reported that now CD text is no longer displayed
correctly on some players.
So we subsequently started a HUGE series of test with different CD players and CD-Rs and
have conducted in depth discussions with TEAC.
There really seem to be some problems here which only appear with certain CD-Rs and
certain players with a certain command sequence.
We have now set the driver back to "Cue-Sheet Mode" and in conjunction with TEAC
changed the sequence of the write commands - now writing should work without any problems
- all tests we conducted worked well, anyway. However as the problem only seems to appear
with certain constellations, we unfortunately can not guarantee that it has been solved
100% - please test extensively!
Reports back are welcome!
|
| "Non chiudere CD" per i masterizzatori
che non supportano la modalità Session-at-Once:
Many CD recorders unfortunately do not support "Session-at-Once" mode (they only
support writing in Raw mode) - which is why the button "Do not close CD" has
always been deactivated in Feurio! so far and the CD has always been closed.
We have now found out that with SOME recorders it is possible to work around this
limitation, by writing the necessary information to continue the CD in RAW mode.
Unfortunately this can not be used to make a 100% correct Session-at-Once recording:
Although in Raw mode you can write the "Next-Session-Pointers", unfortunately it
is not possible to update the "PMA area" of the CD-R (as far as we are aware).
The consequence of this is that the burned CD is not recognized as being "open"
by all CD recorders - many CD recorders check the PMA area and only recognize a CD with a
correct PMA area as being open.
We have tested the following recorders so far:
Mitusumi 4804, 4805:
Works, i.e. "Do not close CD" can now be activated
Acer 4x4x32, Tevion 4x4x32 and similar (ATAPI CD-RW xxx):
Does not work, i.e. the recorders do not accept CDs without correct PMA -> "Do
not close CD" can not be activated.
Philips CDD 3801, 4401, 4801.. and similar (IDE CD-RW xxx, many Waitec and Traxdata
models):
Does not work, i.e. the recorders do not accept CDs without correct PMA -> "Do
not close CD" can not be activated.

| Cambiamenti nei driver dei Masterizzatori:
Unfortunately we have to slightly change the Writer concept for Feurio!:
Until now there has been a special driver for every "Writer class" in the
"Drivers" folder of Feurio!.
Unfortunately the number of new CD writers has "exploded" - slowly it is no
longer possible to generate a special driver for every writer. Luckily it is no longer
necessary either, as in the meantime the writer can understand relatively uniform commands
(MultiMedia-Commandset) - there are only "minor" differences now (e.g. for
BurnProof, JustLink etc.).
We are currently working on changing the driver concept so that in future there will only
be ONE standard driver for ALL MMC compatible writers; internally this driver has a table
with the peculiarities of the individual writers - and of course the corresponding program
code. Thus, even with this "Universal driver", all peculiarities of the
corresponding CD writers will be supported just as well as they ever were!
All new writers which we are implementing in Feurio! will be linked in with this
"Universal driver".
At the same time we are gradually transferring all the old writers to this new concept,
the following writers have been "transferred" so far:
Mitsumi 4804
Mitsumi 4805
LG 8080, 8081, 8083
Acer 4x4x32, 6x4x32, 8x4x32, 10x4x32.. and compatible (e.g. Tevion 4x4x43)
Memorex TwelveMax 1032
Matushita UJDA 310
Ricoh 7120/7125/9120
Philips CDD 3801 (IDE-CD R/RW 2x2x24) and compatible (Waitec 2224, Traxdata CDRW2224,
Memorex CDRW-222 etc.)
Teac 512EB/512SB/516EB
Plextor Plexwriter 1210A, 1210S, 1610A
If there should be any problems with any of these writers, please mail us!
For all writers NOT listed here everything remains the same, i.e. they will still be
approached via the "old" drivers!
|
| Migliorie per le schede madri VIA:
As we have been contacted with an increasing number of "cries for help" from
Feurio! Users with VIA Motherboards, we have now got hold of a computer with a VIA chipset
and included several special adaptations for the VIA-Busmaster driver in Feurio!
In particular we have been able to correct some problems which occurred when burning under
Windows 2000 with a Via-Busmaster driver which was not quite up-to-date.
|
| Nuovi masterizzatori:
Ora sono supportati anche i seguenti masterizzatori:
NEC NR-8500A (incl. CD-Text)
Traxdata CDRW161040 Plus (no guarantee)
Ricoh RW7200A (incl. CD-Text)
Ricoh RW7163A (incl. CD-Text)
NEC NR-8500A (incl. CD-Text)
Sony CRX 0811 (incl. CD-Text)
CyberDrive CW018D (incl. CD-Text)
LG CED-8120B (incl. CD-Text)
Plextor Plexwriter 24/10/40 (incl. CD-Text)
|
| Migliorato il supporto di alcuni masterizzatori:
We have been able to improve support by Feurio! for the following burners as we have now
received test models from the manufacturers and have thus been able to extensively test
the burners:
LG 8080B
NEC NR-7700A
Ricoh MP7125A
Ricoh MP9120A |
Novità dalla 1.60 alla 1.61 (Rilasciato il 09.04.2001):
Feurio! CD-Manager:
| Compressione del database CDDB:
Ora è possibile comprimere il database CDDB. Con un risparmio di circa il 50% dello
spazio su hard disk (ca. 80 MB).
Per comprimere il database esistente, è necessario importarlo di nuovo.
|
| Bugfix:
E' stato eliminato il problema che mandava in crash Feurio con alcuni file MP3
danneggiati.
I file MP3 contenuti nelle playlist non vengono più ordinati automaticamente per nome.
|
Feurio! CD-Writer:
| Supporto "Just Link" (il Burn-Proof
della Ricoh):
Da ora Feurio! supporta anche la tecnologia "JustLink" della Ricoh. Il
"JustLink" ha la stassa funzione del BurnProof, ma con nome diverso.
|
| Nuova funzione di Diagnosi: "Test del Bus
Transfer":
La nuova funzione "Test del Bus Transfer" (nel menu "Extra" di Feurio!
CD-Writer) misura il trasferimento dei dati sia su BUS SCSI che su BUS IDE. In questo
modo, è possibile controllare che: [A] i dati vengano trasferiti correttamente (ad es.
non modificati da un cavo difettoso) e [B] si acceda correttamente al drive (misurandone
il transfer rate).
Nota: questo test funziona solo se il drive supporta alcuni comandi speciali di diagnosi,
comandi che purtroppo non sono supportati da molti masterizzatori.
|
| Contatore Burn-Proof:
Se supportato dal masterizzatore, da ora Feurio! può riportare DOPO la masterizzazione il
numero di errori di buffer underrun (svuotamento del buffer) si sono verificati e
recuperati usando il Burn-Proof.
|
| Nuovi masterizzatori supportati:
Ora sono supportati anche i seguenti masterizzatori:
 | Teac CD-W516E (inkl. CD-Text) |
| Plextor PX-W1610A (incl. CD-Text) |
| Mitsumi 4805TE (incl. CD-Text) |
| Mitsumi 4804TU (USB CD-Writer) (ink. CD-Text) |
| TDK VeloCD ReWriter 16/10/40 (incl. CD-Text) |
| Creative CD-RW 8435E (non garantito) |
| Philips CDD 4805 |
| Phillips CDD 4851 |
| NEC NR-7700A
|
|
| Bugfix:
Ora funziona correttamente la cancellazione dei CD-RW che dava problemi su alcuni modelli
della serie Sony CRX (ed es. CRX140e) e su alcuni masterizzatori HP. |
Novità dalla 1.52 alla 1.60 (Rilasciato il
18.01.2001):
Feurio! CD-Manager:
| Migliorate le funzioni MP3:
Stiamo migliorando completamente tutti i singoli blocchi funzionalidi Feurio e facendo
ciò stiamo implementando il maggior numero di richieste degli utenti possibile. In questa
versione, le funzioni MP3 di Feurio sono state completamente riviste:
| non più file ".framepos":
Fino ad ora, Feurio creava un file "framepos" per ogni file mp3 che
conteneva informazioni per il posizionamento all'interno del file mp3 stesso. Su
suggerimento e richiesta di molti utenti abbiamo completamente eliminato questi file ed
ora quelle informazioni vengono memorizzate nei file del progetto. Tutti i file framepos
creati da Feurio fino ad ora possono essere eliminati dopo l'aggiornamento alla v1.60
|
| Gestione dei file MP3 danneggiati:
Fino ad ora Feurio rifiutava di aprire file mp3 difettosi. Con la v1.60 è stata integrata
una analisi approfondita dei file mp3 danneggiati. L'analisi mostra esattamente che tipo
di difetto hanno (ad es. mostra il numero dei frame danneggiati) e nella maggior parte dei
casi permetterà di usare comunque i file mp3 danneggiati riproducendo i frame danneggiati
come interruzioni di rumore.
|
| Supporto degli MP3 che non sono in qualità CD:
Da ora Feurio può anche utilizzare mp3 che non sono registrati in qualità CD (44,1 kHz,
16bit, Stereo) e scriverli su CD. I file Vengono convertiti automaticamente (vedi giù).
Così Feurio effettuerà diversi processi di conversione contemporaneamente (decodifica
mp3, conversione della frequenza di campionamento ed eventualmente uniformazione del
livello). Grazie alla programmazione ottimizzata, questo è anche possibile "al
volo" durante la scrittura senza problemi - non è necessario perdere tempo per la
conversione, i file possono essere usati direttamente!
|
|
| Conversione automatica dei file Wave che non
sono in qualità CD:
Fino ad ora Feurio è stato in grado di gestire solo file mp3 e wave in qualità CD (44.1
kHz, 16Bit, Stereo). Da questo aggiornamento invece Feurio è stato potenziato ed accetta
TUTTI i tipi di file Wave o mp3 e li converte automaticamente in qualità CD consentendo
così di masterizzare su CD anche file mono o file con una bassa frequenza di
campionamento (kHz). La conversione viene effettuata "al volo" durante la
masterizzazione!
NOTA: è necessario effettuare questa conversione di formato perché i lettori CD sono in
grado di riprodurre esclusivamente tracce audio in formato 44.1 kHz, 16Bit, Stereo. Il
risultato di questo è che un file mono viene trasformato in stereo perché non esistono
CD mono, questo però sfortunatamente significa che non è possibile registrare 148 minuti
di audio mono su CD ma solo un massimo di 74 minuti di audio stereo. Infine, questa
conversione non migliorerà ovviamente la qualità: se si registra su CD un file ad es. in
formato 12 kHz, 8Bit, Mono, non sorprendetevi se il risultato non "suonerà"
particolarmente bene.
|
| Altre Novità:
| Funzione di registrazione - problemi con la selezione della scheda
audio:
I driver di alcune schede audio non erano configurati correttamente, impedendo di
selezionare alcune di queste schede per la funzione di registrazione. Nella maggior parte
dei casi questo era dovuto al fatto che queste schede non confermavano la loro capacità
di registrare nel formato 44.1 kHz, 16Bit, Stereo (richiesto per i CD Audio). Fino ad ora
Feurio mostrave solo le schede che davano l'ok per lavorare in questo formato. Per questa
ragione è stato aggiunto una nuova voce nella selezione della scheda audio:
"<< Mapper >>". Quando si seleziona questa voce, la scheda imposta
come sorgente preferita per la registrazione audio quella impostata nel pannello di
controllo di Windows.
|
| Prevenzione delle interrogazioni multiple al CDDB / Voci duplicate dei
dati nella cache CDDB:
In alcune circostanze Feurio si bloccava effettuando un loop di interrogazioni infinito al
CDDB, ad es. ripeteva all'infinito sempre la stessa interrogazione per le stesse
informazioni sullo stesso CD inserendole più volte nella cache del database CDDB. Per
questo è stata inclusa una funzione che impedisce una nuova richiesta al CDDB per lo
stesso CD per un periodo di 30 minuti (eccetto per le richieste manuali effettuate con il
comando: "Includi nuovamente il CD nella lista di richiesta"). Questa lista
ovviamente viene resettata quando cambiano i parametri del CDDB (ad es. selezionando un
altro server CDDB).
|
| Compattare / Scompattare Tracce -> gestori di spazio nel percorso:
Da ora quando si usa la funzione compattare/scompattare tracce, possono essere
utilizzati i gestori si spazio nella selezione del percorso (come nella funzione
"Copia Tracce").
|
|
| Bugfix:
| Corretto il problema della visualizzazione errata delle informazioni
dell'errore C2 durante la lettura (sotto "Parametri Speciali"->"messaggi
d'errore C2"->Mostra messaggi d'informazione quando si verifica un errore
C2").
|
| Corretto il problema che generava progetti danneggiati leggendo con le
opzioni "Leggi Index 0" ed "Autorilevamento delle Tracce Unite".
Inoltre verrà visualizzato un messaggio di avvertimento quando si selezionano le opzioni
"Leggi Index 0" ed "Autorilevamento delle Tracce Unite" o "Leggi
Tracce Singolarmente", dato che i dati Index 0 possono essere letti con
un'accuratezza del 100% solo con l'opzione "Leggi Tracce Unite" attiva.
|
|
Feurio! CD-Writer:
| Risolto il problema di scrittura del CD-Text con
i masterizzatore IDE ed il DMA attivo:
Con i masterizzatori IDE se era attiva la modalità DMA e si voleva scrivere il CD Text,
su alcuni PC il sistema andava in crash durante la scrittura del Lead-in. Il motivo di
questo problema erano driver Busmaster IDE difettosi. Per scrivere il CD Text, viene
utilizzato una dimensione dei blocchi non standard (96 byte per settore). Alcuni driver
busmaster non sono in grado di gestire questo formato. Ora abbiamo provato ad includere un
sistema che provvede a trasferire i dati al driver in un modo che non gli crei problemi.
Giusto per chiarire meglio: questo non era un problema di Feurio, ma un errore di alcuni
driver Busmaster IDE che probabilmente sono stati testati dai produttori solo con
dimensioni standard dei blocchi, causando errori con dimensioni non standard. Se ci
dovessero ancora essere problemi sarà necessario disattivare la modalità busmaster e
segnalare il problema al fornitore del driver (di solito il produttore della scheda
madre).
|
| Nuovi masterizzatori supportati:
Ora sono supportati anche i seguenti masterizzatori:
| TEAC CD-W 512SB (incl. CD-Text) |
| Aopen CD-RW CRW1232A (non garantito) |
| Aopen CD-RW CRW1232 (non garantito) |
| Memorex TwelveMAXX 1032 (non garantito) |

| HP 9150i (non garantito) |
| Sanyo CRD-BP1300P (non garantito) |
| Liteon LTR-1210 (non garantito)
|
|
| Bugfix:
| Eliminato il problema che mandava Feurio in crash quando il "Rescan
del BUS SCSI" veniva richiesta nella modalità "Scrittura Multipla"
|
| Si verifica un problema con i vecchi masterizzatori 2x (ad es. il Philips
CDD 3600 / HP 7100): questo problema è stato dovuto al fatto che questi modelli non sono
più disponibili per le prove e per questi modelli non è possibile selezionare la
velocità di scrittura. Il motivo del problema è che nelle nuove versioni Feurio chiede
al masterizzatore la massima velocità possibile per il CD inserito e limita di
conseguenza la lista delle velocità di scrittura selezionabili. Purtroppo questi
masterizzatori danno un valore pari a zero quindi Feurio non è in grado di selezionare
una velocità di scrittura valida. |
|
Novità dalla 1.51 alla 1.52 (Rilasciato il 07.12.2000):
Feurio! CD-Manager e CD-Writer:
| Bugfix:
dalla Versione 1.52 in poi sono stati risolti tutti i problemi della prima release in
italiano (la v1.51)! |
Novità dalla 1.50 alla 1.51 (Rilasciato il 21.06.2000) TUTTO
IN ITALIANO!! :
Feurio! CD-Manager:
| Migliorata la funzione di importazione database
CDDB:
Since some time the operators of FreeDB provide an updated CD database for downloading
(ftp://ftp.freedb.org). The database is not available as a single file, but as one (quite
old) "basic file" and several update files, each containing the new entries. To
import the FreeDB files, two improvements have been made to the CDDB import function:
| Several TAR files can be selected and imported as once (i. e. to
completely import all data you simply have to download all files from FreeDB and select
them then). |
| Updating the database implemented:
Up to now, importing new data erased the old database. Now Feurio! asks (if there is
already something stored in the CDDB database) whether the old data should be erased or
"mixed" with the new entries if a new file is imported.
|
|
| Migliorata la finestra delle impostazioni CDDB:
Now the CDDB settings dialog contains "Default buttons" for CDDB and FreeDB, so
entering the server adresses and so one is not necesseray anymore. (Of course the
"User defined" setting, where you can enter server adresses manually, is still
available, so other servers can still easily be used.)
|
| Aggiunta la funzione di submit (invio) del CDDB:
From now on the entered CDs can be transferred to the CDDB database and placed to other
user's disposal. Note: At the moment it is (for "political" reasons) not
possible to submit data to the "original" CDDB database the transfers will be
ignored by the server, because we refused to sign the new (restrictive) license agreement.
For details see: "Frequently Asked Questions When will CDDB2 be supported?".
Therefore transfering data is presently only possible to the FreeDB database. (As
mentioned above, this is neither a technical problem nor a bug of Feurio the server simply
rejects the data send by Feurio! unfortunately the operators of CDDB refuse to add Feurio!
to the list of programs that are accepted by the database. The transfer can be activated
from the CD-Edit dialog (Button "Edit" in the CD-Directory).
|
| Migliorato il riproduttore di CD e Wave:
"Tool-tip" per i titoli delle tracce
The title selecton of the CD-/ Wave-Player has been improved: If the mouse is moved over a
track button, the player shows the track title as a "tool-tip".
|
| Varie:
| CDDB request for project added:
With "Project" -> "Special commands" -> "Execute CDDB
request for project" a CDDB request for a complete project can be carried out. This
is useful, if an image of an unknown CD was read by Feurio! CD-Writer. |
| Project parameters -> UPC-Code input:
The UPC-Code can now be entered directly in the "Project parameters" (in the
extended view). |
| Filename generation new variables
By popular request new variables for the filename generation have been introduced:
"%D" -> CD-Artist
"%E" -> CD-Title
(In opposite to %C, that always contains the complete CD-Name in the form of
"<CD-Artitst> - <CD-Title>").
|
|
| Bugfix:
| Database -> Copy to Clipboard -> Track list partially generated the
playing time 00:00 -> Fixed. |
| CDDB recognition dialog:
In some cases the dialog disappeared immediately without one CD found -> Fixed! |
| Saving the selected drive:
Normally Feurio! starts with the last selected drive. Under certain circumstances (access
mode: ASPI, Drive-ID: 0,0,0) this didn't work anymore -> Fixed. |
| Switching CD-Player to digital playback:
If the CD-Player was started in analog playback mode and switched to digital mode while
playing and the playback was restarted without quitting the player, the player sometimes
locked-up at the function "Initialising player" -> Fixed. |
| Database view, Mode "Tree 2" and "Double-tree 2":
The playing times of the selected tracks weren't added if several tracks were selected
-> Fixed. |
|
Feurio! CD-Writer:
| Impostazionei DMA (Busmaster) per Windows NT
4.0:
Unfortunately many Feurio! users have problems with IDE CD-Writers or CD-ROMs under
Windows NT. Since service pack 3, Windows NT 4.0 has integrated busmaster-capable IDE
drivers. Unfortunately, under Windows busmaster operation is disabled by default and can't
be activated from within Windows but with an external program. Though the activation is
quite simple, we have implemented a function in Feurio! to activate the DMA (busmaster-)
operation under Windows NT: Menu: "Extras", tab "ATAPI DMA settings".
|
| Nuovi masterizzatori supportati:
Ora sono supportati anche i seguenti masterizzatori:
| Ricoh RW-7120A (incl. CD-Text) |

|
Novità dalla 1.32 alla 1.50:
Feurio! CD-Manager:
| Integrated, high quality mp3-Decoder-Codec:
As of now Feurio! has an integrated mp3 decoder codec (licensed from the Fraunhofer IIS)
and is thus no longer dependent on an external codec. This should also improve the quality
of the playback of mp3 files. This means that Feurio! can now play back mp3 files now
WITHOUT external programs and burn on-the-fly onto CDs! To CREATE mp3 files however, an
external Codec is still necessary - an integrated encoder codec is far too expensive!
|
| Feurio! CD-Player: Digital Playback introduced:
A mode "Digital Playback" has additionally been included in the Feurio!
CD-Player. In this mode the CD-Player reads the data digitally from the CD-ROM (i.e. via
the SCSI or IDE-BUS) and then sends them to the soundcard. In this way it is possible to
play back from CD-ROMs / CD burners whose audio output is NOT connected to the soundcard.
|
| Volume control for CD/Wave-Player:
The Wave-Player has now got a volume control. Caution: The volume control only works
correctly if setting the volume is supported by the soundcard!
|
| Search function implemented:
In the view Database, a full-text search function has been implemented.
|
| Lame-Encoder: VBR and Joint-Stereo implemented:
If the LAME-Encoder as of Version 3.66 is implemented, then from now on mp3s in
"Joint Stereo" and/or "Variable Bit Rate (VBR)" mode can also be
created. To activate the new mode, "Program" ->
"Program-Parameters" -> "Mp3-settings" Box: "Create mp3
files", Button: "Settings" has to be called up once. If Lame Version 3.66
has not been installed yet, then the correct path for Lame 3.66 has to be given here!
|
| Sort code implemented:
A sort code can be given in the database editor not only for the CD but also for the track
artist; sorting in the database view is carried out according to this sort code. Using
this, you can make sure that, for example, "Bob Dylan" is filed under
"D".
|
| Further sort options:
In the database view there are now extended sort options available (e.g. playing time,
purchase date etc.)!
|
| Autostart of the Windows CD-Player is prevented by Feurio!:
As of now Feurio! prevents the Windows CD-Player starting automatically, providing Feurio!
is active (this of course would lead to some problems). Automatic start of data CDs is NOT
prevented! Bonus for Windows NT Users: If automatic start is activated, then if Feurio!
has been started and a new audio CD is inserted, the CD-ROM which the CD has been inserted
in is automatically selected as the copy source in the Feurio! CD Manager or Feurio!
CD-Writer (If both CD Manager AND CD-Writer are active, then the most recently activated
program module is used, i.e. if you were last using the Feurio! CD-Writer, then the new CD
is given as the source for "CD-Copy". If you were last using the Feurio!
CD-Manager, then the drive is activated as source in the Feurio! CD-Manager)
|
| Button "Copy" in the CD-Player:
Improved CD-Player: In the CD-Player, the track which has just started being played can be
copied into the current project by pressing a button!
|
| FAQ totally reworked:
The "FAQ" catalog has been completely revised including both appearance and
contents. The individual questions and answers have been divided into categories and each
question/answer pair appears on its own page. Many more new questions and answers have
been included. Please have a look through, comments are welcome!
|
| Help files summarized:
So far every one of the 4 Feurio! modules (CD-Manager, CD-Writer, Track Editor and Cover
Editor) has had its own help file. As requested by several users, the help files of the
CD-Manager, CD-Writer and Track Editor have been put together to make one help file. From
an operational point of view everything remains the same - the great advantage in doing
this is that the full text search now finds key words from all texts.
|
| Improvement CD/Wave-Player with more than 28 Tracks:
If the CD/Wave-Player is used with more than 28 Tracks, then as of now a scroll bar is
displayed next to the track selection button; using this scroll bar other tracks can now
be accessed directly.
|
| Read speed for Device Test can be changed:
As of now the read speed for the Device Test can be changed - using this you can now
determine, for example, if the CD-ROM reads better at a lower speed!
|
| Nero 5.0 Images implemented:
Unfortunately the structure of the Nero images was changed, from now on Feurio! also
accepts Nero 5.0 images!
|
| Database display improved:
The database display has been improved, structuring the database entries is now carried
out in an extra thread, so that the dialog box can also be used while the entries are
being put together. This in particular improves the display of the CDDB database so that
the very irritating "hang ups" which sometimes occurred when, for example,
selecting the tree structure view, no longer occur! This also makes the search function
more useable.
|
| Behavior in the case of defective MP3s improved:
Unfortunately many programs dont create correct mp3 files (i.e. for example, faulty tags
are written or the frame structure is incorrect). The mp3 routines have now been made more
robust against faulty mp3s so that Feurio! can now in many cases still decode the mp3s.
|
| Odds & Ends:
| Wave-Player: As of now the thread priority of the playback thread can be
changed; furthermore a correction function for several faulty soundcard drivers has been
installed. |
| Wave-Player: As of now the position can also be changed in pause mode;
the track forward/back buttons also now work in pause mode. |
| Database view: Sorting the album/track list can now also be changed by
clicking on the column title. |
| With Copy tracks / Pack tracks, target: "Harddisk path",
stand-ins can also be used in setting the path, i.e. for example, the path can depend on
the artist. |
| Drag & Drop from Explorer now also works with mp3 player lists (.mu3
files). |
| Speed set for TEAC 540: If the TEAC 540 is equipped with Firmware 3.0,
then the speed can now be regulated from Feurio! (i.e. without the TEAC tool). |
