What bothers me the most is that in the ad. for MS 4.22 in the MTU website says it works for 64 bit W7 as 7/2/2010. Does it mean those poor freinds of mine can get a update for free of charge?

Version 4.22 does not work for any 64 bit system yet. MTU is working on finding the solution to this, but currently it is not ready.
As it stands right now if they have purchased within 12 months from the release of the new version then it will be a free upgrade otherwise they will have to purchase an upgrade.

I just got an email from mtu today in regards to the microstudio write feature using 64 bit. I am holding off purchasing a much needed computer to replace my old studio computer, untill the write feature is working. MTU is working daily on this, and have been for about 6 months. They do have microstudio working on 64 bit, but the error correction is not working correctly. They are getting distorted graphics. They're getting closer to getting it done, but like anything else with 64 bit, it's slow going.

Warren, you didn't steer your friends wrong at all. Microstudio is the best software of it's kind period. I purchased my first version of microstudio around 2000, on windows 98 if i recall correctly. I write alot of custom CDG's with khpro for my shows. And use Microstudio to put them on disc. Also of course for writing backups, and custom disc that i take out to other karaoke shows that i sing at. I have even written CDG's for local entertainers using their own original recorded music. A valuable tool.

My Microstudio 4.22 writes tracks onto CD perfectly, and I have Win7 64bit. I've always been able to write onto CD even with my older computer that had XP 64bit.

Unfortunately the majority including MTU cannot write correctly yet.

Dale, yeah I feel for you. I don't understand how mine can write, but we talked about this before. I contacted Bryan on checking mine out , and he asked if I had a program, I forget which one it was, and I told him I didn't. He was thinking that maybe that particular program was enabling me to be able to write, but when I told him I didn't, that was the last time I heard from him. I'm still open to doing a remote, if it will help all my fellow MTU friends.

Our Hoster & Microstudio IMPORT and DVD Drive Detector code functions work perfectly.

The problem is in the DVD DEFAULT DRIVE detector for the WRITE function with the code we have been shipping for years. It won't work with the 64-bit "virtual drives mapping" all 64-bit Win OS use. What you see - and as I recall EmilioM also sees this - is an @ where the drive letter should be. It will work anyway because the drive identification version and model number can be selected, even if you have multiple drives.

We have been integrating our IMPORT function DVD Drive Detector code into Microstudio, and integrating our new WRITE function code with this. However, our CDG "encryptor" code generated errors, and the created CDG RW codes have graphic "flecks". THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO US, so we won't release it as it would damage our good reputation.

We can try to come up with a stop-gap product that would include our older WRITE code. I think (will know tomorrow) that we can remove the @ symbol, and show 1, 2, 3, 4 for drives instead of the drive letters. This is a minor trade-off.

We had been stuck on hold for about 2 weeks, but this approach may be acceptable and fast for us to release. I'll talk to Engineering tomorrow.

If you have 2 optical drives, it can fail.

We can try to come up with a stop-gap product that would include our older WRITE code, forcing MS to only run on a system with a SINGLE OPTICAL DRIVE, and use our perfect IMPORT function code that detects the drive.

We had been stuck on hold for about 2 weeks, but this approach may be acceptable for us to release. We'd add code that detects if more than one optical drive is present, and if so require ony one to be attached to the computer. I'll talk to Engineering tomorrow.

Admin., On my new computer, I do indeed have only 1 optical drive. Thanx for the info, and thanx for working so diligently to put out a superior product.
