Easy VHS to DVD

[WEBSLOW]

When I attempt to record an LP (Long Playing record with several songs on on side) Easy VHS to DVD puts all the songs on one track. Why won't it change tracks at the end of each song? How can I manually change the tracks if it won't do it for me. When I tried it, the program makes each song track one. I've written Roxio about this at least eight times. The first time they responded they told me how to increase my system resourses even though they exceed those required by Easy VHS to DVD and there was absolutely no mention of my question. When I responded to that email I heard nothing back until I finally received a message that they have not heard from me so they assume my problem was solved. All requests since that time have been unanswered. Can anyone out there tell me how to make the program record each song on a different track?

I don't see how it couldn't work…

 

But it does key off of the silence between songs.

 

It is possible if your Recording Level was set too high or the output volume of your player was too high, it would not "hear" the silence…

 

Likewise the other extreme, if everything is too low, it might not be able to distinguish the silence.

 

What do the meters look like during the song and the silence?

I never found Roxio products to work that well doing this. I usually capture the entire LP as one large WAV sound, save it, and then break the WAV file into songs with another program. I use Goldwave (www.goldwave.com - $50), which is excellent, because one simple keystroke puts a cue point into the WAV file wherever you want it, and a second keystroke splits the WAV file at all of the cue points. This works particularly well with live music because you can divide the WAV into songs and not hear the empty break in the applause between songs. After dividing the WAV with Goldwave, I use the Roxio product to burn to disc, and I do it with no 2 second break between songs because the empty sound between songs on the LP is already there in the WAV, or I don't want a 2 second break (in the case of a live recording).

To be honest I don't remember exactly what the settings were but they did seem to be low. Roxio set the volume automatically for me. It has been well over a month since I attempted to record the LP. I'll try it again in a day or two and adjust the recording and output levels to see if that helps. I'll let you know how it turns out. I appreciate your help.
