Support for the Yamaha CRW-F1 ?

This Yamaha drive will not work for Karaoke, this is the reason that you are getting the pixilation. This is actually due to the Yamaha drive. There is no way to get around this with that drive. The Yamaha drives after the 8-4-32 have not worked correctly for Karaoke. It seems that they have a problem with the CD+G format, and they are not willing to fix it. We tried to work with them when they broke it on the 8-4-32 drive, but they were not willing to try to fix the problem.

This is the reason we do not recommend using the Yamaha drives, because they don't give you usable graphics for Karaoke. You are stuck with a drive that works great for everything else, but Karaoke now.

What happens when you use your HP 8200 as the reading drive and the Yamaha as the writer? I believe the Yamaha drives can write the Karaoke ok, but it is the reading part that they mess up on. You could give this a try and see what happens. The Plextor brands are the only ones that truly work correctly, just so you know.
