Plextor...

Is a manufacturer. We sell these drives after we bring them in, test them, upgrade the flash BIOS, and certify they read and write CDG discs. Some drives are manufactured a year and a half ago and won't work with recent Windows version without being upgraded. When you purchase from MTU we also provide you support if needed.

A bit more info on the file types:

1. MTU developed and was the first to use the .cdg file extenison. As MTUSUPPORT states, our .cdg files contain the exact same file image as is on your CDG Karaoke disc. There are other companies who took our .cdg extension and use it for only the graphics/lyrics r-w codes, but without the audio. These files are intended for illegal distribution of copyrighted material.

2. The .bin file was first defined and used by GoldenHawk with their CDRWIN software. The problem is they use this extension for every file type they import. For example, they use it for:
A. Disc images that are 700MBytes insize , and duplicte the entire disc.
B. Track images that are 30MB-60MB in size that are a single track file.
C. Karaoke CDG song tracks (audio+CDG codes), CDROM data tracks, Audio CD song tracks (audio only)

So, you can see that the MTU .cdg file is exactly what you need for a complete Karaoke CDG song. It is never used BY MTU... for any other file type.
