Crashing on multisession import

[Picolo Porco]

When I try to import the last track of a multisession disk or have any other kind of error reading a disk, Hoster gives me an error message then unceremoniously crashes. I know I won't be able to import the last track until 3.2, but how do I avoid the crashes?

Before I knew about the multisession disc and would try to import the last song my computer would just lock-up......if this is what you are talking about.......

Just un-select the last song and the very last track (for it is nothing more then a small bit of info) EXAMPLE....you have 18 tracks on the disc. Hoster's import shows 19 tracks. Select only the first 17 tracks. The 18 & 19 track will cause the computer to lock-up.

This is what I do until something better comes along (3.2?????)
GOOD LUCK!

That's what I've been doing.... Seems strange that the whole app crashes, though, instead of handling the error properly. I get the same crash when I have a damaged disk and Hoster eventually gives up on trying to read the track.

I guess this could be a "feature" request for the import module to handle errors without completely choking.

Hello Picolo Porco,

If you have Microstudio you can import the for instance the 18 music tracks of a 19 track multi session disk to your hard drive and then import the 18 music tracks into Hoster. Track "18" will still contain the add silent minutes that where added to the song but at least you'll have all 18 tracks that you paid for!

Since yours is the only post I've seen where Hoster crashes predictably at this point I would suspect a hardware/configuration/driver issue. When lots of computers have an issue you can usually find something in common to figure out whats wrong, but when it's only one computer there's a bazzillion different variables that make it much more difficult.

I agree with Sam as to it being a Hardware/Configuration problem. I have not had any other clients reporting this type of problem to me. Please make sure that you have all of the Windows updates from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

This is the only thing that I can think of. Also you might try making sure that you have the latest version of Firmware from www.plextor.com for your CDR drive.
