Ejecting A Cd

[leoram4]

I am using Roxio 7.5. When ejecting a CD, it takes just about 30 seconds before the CD is ejected. I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a setting that will speed up the ejection. Thank you and have a great day.

It sounds like you are using Drag to Disc, which doesn't write to the disc/disk, until you hit the eject button. That is normal operation.

Yes, I am using drag-to-disc. I did not know that it doesn't write to the CD until hitting the eject button. The reason I asked the question is that the CD ejected almost immediately after hitting the button on the previous version of Roxio. I guess that is what one calls progress. Thanks for the information grandpabruce. Have a great one!

You are welcome. I will give you some advice. If you are using Drag to Disc for anything other than immediate transfer of data from one computer to another, you are playing Russian Roulette. It is unreliable, at best.

 

Never use D2D for backing up any important data. Use Creator Classic, instead. It is much safer in the long run.

The thing that Packet Writing programs do best is permanently lose all data, so I hope you aren't trying to make "backups" with Packet-Writing.

 

"Never trust your ONLY copy of an important file to a Packet-Written Program, like Drag2Disc, DirectCD, Nero's InCD, Sonic's DLA, etc. Packet-Written discs have a tendancy to fail, usually at the worst possible time."

Thanks all. I always make two copies of anything important because I have learned the hard way. I will give creator classic a try.
