What the heck happened to Roxio's recorder support info?

[Clint H]

Hi all. Ok, I've wasted several hours on this and am pi$$ed off to no end. I had to post this at some other forum:

 

<rant>

Look at this BS. http://www.winoncd.de/english/support/drv_user.html

"Note: Support for Easy CD Creator and DirectCD"

 

I FINALLY found that page, and that #$^@ link is bad!! It goes some OTHER page! Their search SUCKS. It keeps saying I'm searching for "POPCORN" when I search for 'recorder support'!!! That "RoxAnn" assistant of theirs is ON CRACK or brain dead!! They totally ABANDON anyone that is NOT using their @$%#$ latest version!!

 

Also, http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/service/c...er_support.html

Now do YOU see any link for recorder support????

"First, you can go to our recorder support page to find if you need an update."

 

You can't even d'load their freakin' updates without being subjected to logins. I am appalled that one must be subjected to so much BS just to download a $#@!% update!! This is INSANE. I cannot login using my OLD login info, NOR ANY NEW INFO!! I keep getting "REGISTRATION_GENERAL_ERROR" and the same exact thing happens when I try and get to the forums! So I can't even ask this at their forums!

</rant>

 

So POH-LEEZE, can someone tell me where is the freakin' link for recorder support? I have EMC8 and I need to know 1) how to download updates for it, and 2) if it will support a DQ60 (BenQ, DVD+/-R & RW, & DVD-RAM).

Thanks.

--------

The only thing that's changed since then, is I was able to get the update downloaded, and obviously was able to create a new user here. (I had to email the domain owner of Roxio.com to get them to do that). I still need to know what happened to all the recorder support links, or at least if that DVD-RW drive will work with EMC8.

Thanks,

-Clint

Actually if you'd used the convention of spelling it as 'magnetic disK and optical disC' on search, google would have found this

 

http://phorums.com.au/archive/index.php/t-163423.html

 

it's scandisK (magnetic media)..

 

The forum is a long one so I won't c/p it here

[cdanteek]

I think Verbatim may be one of those types that's actually made my Ritek, or Yuden, something like that.

 

If your referring to this list, Firmware: BENQ DVD DC DQ60 MREC.

It's specific to the BenQ model and firmware, not other drives!

The MCC and MKM Media ID (MID) is Verbatim.

 

Verbatim® Corporation and its parent company, Mitsubishi Kagaku Media.

All make or contract there own media!

Odd. I just c/p'd the exact message I received! Also strange that Roxio spells it both ways in the error messages! However I don't see anything on that page regarding this issue.

[ogdens]

Thank you.

 

Looking over that list, I don't see any mention of Verbatim media. Does that mean it won't work? I've been using that in my Plex PX-721A (SATA). I think Verbatim may be one of those types that's actually made my Ritek, or Yuden, something like that.

 

I am surprised that a somebody who is in the business of building computers is asking basic questions like this, you should know all this stuff , especially about CD and DVD drives, manufactured since the late 90's, will be recognized by the software, if the firmware for the drives is up to date.

Use a RW till you get the problem sorted.

 

What the heck happened to my other thread on this?? I started a thread on this because it was different than this thread. It had more info in it and NEW info in it, and now the #$^@ thing as been deleted without warning!! DAMMIT, now I have to type all this crap all over again!! Who's the jerk that did this??

 

I also had the problem with DVD+RW media (WHICH I DESCRIBED IN MY NEW THREAD!) I could not format it using the "Quick format" option. Of course I don't have the exact error message now nor all the details on it!! It was something about unrecognized media. I tried the full format, and before that I went to that area that you pointed to at that other thread and set the RW area on the right to "as-is". That worked ok, the +RW media is fine. I added a file to it, ejected it, put it back in, it's ok.

 

So, why won't DVD+RW media work with the "Quick format" option, what happened to my DVD-R media and how do I fix it since Scandisc keeps crashing?

Thanks.

 

Odgens, if "leave the media as is" is checked, then how can the media be read in other PC's?

 

Why was that not necessary with CD media? All those options were left at the default for CDR media and I don't have problems with it.

 

WHY can't I add a new reply!!??? Every #$^@ time I click to reply, it keeps editing this post even though the text area IS BLANK!!

 

Another thing, according to that other thread I still should have been able to at least READ the media when it was ejected in the default manner, but I could not (described in my post above).

[ogdens]

I've had no problems copying CD's or using DTD with CD's. I

just tried DTD with a Verbatim DVD-R, dragged the files to it

with no problem, even a 4gb backup file. It copied all very

quickly. I waited a bit, went to "eject" the DVD and it's

opt'd to be readable on other PC's. It stopped and said "If

you eject the disk now it won't be readable on DVD-ROM drives"

or something to that effect. I canceled it, and it ejected it

anyway "as-is" as it said. I put it back in the DVD-RW drive,

and the SOB said it could not read the disk! It suggested to

run Scandisk (and mumbled a few other words about why), and I

did. After wasting about 15 minutes waiting, it said no files

could be recovered and did I want it to repair it so it would

be usable again. I said "Yes" and the SOB CRASHED! "Scandisk

operation has encountered a problem and needs to close". @#$@!

It keeps doing this crap again and again!! That's a

typical Roxio product. ECDC6 always crashes on my PC!

 

The "Event Viewer" was it's "usual helpful self" with "Fault

bucket 265261789" and another entry "Faulting application

scandisc.exe, version 8.0.5.23, faulting module scandisc.exe,

version 8.0.5.23, fault address 0x0001bdcb"....for which it

didn't say jack about either one! Of course I'm the only

person in existence that's had that problem that's ever

reported it, because no SE has any results on either one! Not

even "Faulting application scandisc.exe faulting module

scandisc.exe fault address 0x0001bdcb" (no quotes) had a single

hit!

 

So what's the deal??

The first link you posted is for a very old product so anything there would not be applicable to V8. That product was sold when burners were still burning at 2 and 4 X but the faster ones were being developed. The second link you posted took me to a page where you could select updates to various software versions.

 

When you are saying recorder do you mean burner? Any updates for the burner would be called firmware and would be placed on the burner manufacturers site- in your case BenQ, Yes, if you are using that burner, you should be able to use DVD-RW blanks. I looked at the BenQ site and did not find any updated firmware for your burner.

What problems are you having other than not finding Roxio sites? If you are having trouble burning, perhaps you have bad blanks. Product quality varies with manufacturer. Verbatim, Fujifilm (made in Japan) and others are good but house brands and Memorex have been known to cause trouble. You can often get some bad discs in a cakebox when the rest are good. If you can't play a DVD-RW on the player attached to a TV then the problem is the player. Some won't play certain types of discs; especially home burned RW. RW discs of any kind are not intended for long term storage.

 

If you come back and post what your problem is, perhaps we can provide more directed help. I don't want to be mean but perhaps a course in computers and some time spent with the manual might be in order. Please don't flame me, I'm just being honest based on your post. I want us both to have a happy holiday season.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't understand the confusion. I stated clearly:

I still need to know what happened to all the recorder support links, or at least if that DVD-RW drive will work with EMC8.

 

That's pretty straight to the point. I didn't say anything about "firmware". I said updates, software updates for EMC8; and will that DVD burner/recorder work with EMC8. Roxio themselves call it "recorder support", so I would gather one would know from that "burner", same thing.

 

I build computers for a living. I'm not going to put this DVD drive in a customers PC if it cannot work with EMC8.

 

So....again, where are the links Roxio used to have for "optical recording/burning devices" that will work with their products (EMC8), or if no one knows why they've hidden those pages and stopped giving the information; will that DQ60 work with EMC8?

Thanks.

No drive support updates are needed anymore. After version 5, the Roxio software relies on the firmware in the DVD/CD burner to recognize it. You need to have the latest updated firmware installed for the BenQ, and you should be fine.

 

BTW, that particular BenQ model was not their best effort. This is just one thread about the burner, but there are a multitude of them about the problems that model has had.

I've had very few issues with Adaptec's DTD. My problems have been the failure of the so-called "permanent media" of optical disks! They were allegedly supposed to last for "a hundred years" when they first came out, then more recently that had been cut to 10-15 years. I had many, different brands, that were toast after only about 4 years! All data on them unreadable.

 

With this most recent episode, that DVD-R media was created and then tried to read on the exact same PC, so there were no cross-platform issues.

Here is some more info: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

I said I built computers. That's hardware, and Windows OS's. I didn't say I was a software vendor or blank media vendor!! It's the customers' option as to what software they want to install!

 

I've come across numerous optical burners that will NOT work Roxio. So don't tell me that ALL of them since the late 90's will work. Furthermore, I have NEVER USED EMC8, I've only used ECDC 6 and earlier, and personally, very rarely at that.

[Clint H]

After all this and the mofo's firmware can't be updated! I run the FW updater and it says "The drive is not allowed to be updated." !!! Current FW is "GRDC". The drive has on it "DQ60", but from what I'm reading now, Teac makes it but I have no idea what Teac FW it would take...if any. Ho boy, this is going to take some research.

 

A quote from another forum:

However nobody at BenQ knew why the MREC flasher program always returned the "The drive is not allowed to be updated" message. WTF??

 

Looks like it may be a Teac DV-W516E, but that FW page says "Note that this program cannot be used for the DV-W516E with a firmware revision other than 1.05/1.07/1.0B/1.0C/1.0D/1.0E."

[Clint H]

That update that I went through hell to get (EMC80_805_Update) isn't even needed! When I check for updates via the interface in "Creator Classic" nothing happens AT ALL. It won't check for any updates. I find it hard to believe that after several months there are no updates (for the other parts of the software), but I'm curious as to what the issue is with Creator Classic's update function.

After some digging, I found a way around this and got its FW updated. I used the "MCSE" program. http://ala42.cdfreaks.com/MCSE/ . For anyone else with similar issues:

 

Unzip/unpack the firmware, open up MSCE then....

1) "Load" MREC (the latest FW for the DQ60 at the time of this post).

2) Bottom right under "Current drive ID," select ATAPI DVD DC 8X16X8X (in this particular case).

3) A window will pop up then click "Yes".

4) Click "Save" then click "Yes."

5) A new firmware file will be created.

6) Click the new created executable and the OEM DQ60 will become a retail DQ60, and of course be updated to the latest MREC FW.

 

This IS a retail boxed drive, but, it was retail boxed by HiVal, and probably IO Magic and others as well. You can apparently also update (this drive and maybe others) to OTHER firmware brands like the Plextor 750, and use that company's FW updates. I didn't try that, I thought I had better stick with BenQ and MREC.

[Clint H]

[grandpabruce]

I was getting the notifications, they stopped.

 

I don't know what you mean by post #5. I'm simply curious as to how you know that drive will work with EMC8. If it relies on firmware, then I still need to know how you know it will work. A drive's firmware doesn't have any info in it describing which 'ware it will support.

Thanks.

 

Post #5 of this thread is where I told you that Roxio software drive support updates are no longer needed. Let me see if I can make this clearer. ALL CD and DVD drives, manufactured since 1997, will be recognized by the software, IF the firmware for said drives is up to date.

 

THERE IS NO NEED TO MAKE A LIST OF EVERY OPTICAL DRIVE MADE!
