Re: 2011 Dell Laptop and Video Options

A LOT of the problems we have to deal with at MTU are caused by Microsoft Windows Upgrades. It's a real bummer!

Other problems relate to the new CDR/DVD drives being faster, and loading a LOT more data in the same given time period, causing the Song Display to be starved during importing.

Thus, we had to add "wait states" into the Singers Disc importing code so it didn't slow down the Song Display the singer is watching.

However, we haven't heard of this "doubling the time to import" as you say, but I would expect 5%-15%. Maybe on your older system it may take more.

Be sure to put in WRITING ith Dell that: "I have the right to return a new laptop if its DVD optical drive doesn't correctly import and burn Karaoke CDG format discs." However, good luck in finding some place yoiu can add such a note. I expect their "sales agreement" may disallow any such "qualifier".
