gduns: Mine has a firewire. What does that do? Is that a faster alternative to USB 2.0?



Also, please catch my previous post in this thread, about 5 prior to this one?

Usb2 and Firewire both have a data transfer rate of 480kps. Firewire started out on a Mac computer. Then the Pc's come out with usb2 with the same data transfer rate as firewire.

oops

Here are some test results I found.

FireWire vs. USB 2.0 Hard Drive Performance Comparison
Read and write tests to the same IDE hard drive connected using FireWire and then Hi-Speed USB 2.0 show:

Read Test:


* 5000 files (300 MB total) FireWire was 33% faster than USB 2.0
* 160 files (650MB total) FireWire was 70% faster than USB 2.0

Write Test:


* 5000 files (300 MB total) FireWire was 16% faster than USB 2.0
* 160 files (650MB total) FireWire was 48% faster than USB 2.0

Ok, got a new driver on the way!! I have alot of cdg's I want to import to Hoster Lite, can I go ahead and get started on that before the driver is connected?? This may be a stupid question, but its not the first one Thanks so much

you will love this software when you get it up and running.


make sure your computer is up to date with windows updates

Do I wait for the drive before importing cdgs?

[gduns - with the Lord]

????? if you have a drive that will import them now, then import them now, If you don't then you will have to wait......

Bryant,
First USB 2.0 is faster than firewire, but not so much as you would notice it. They both should work error free. I have the chartbuster ess 4 collection, and made note that I also had problems importing them, as they had speckles in them. I used diskjuggler, and copied them. and then used the copy to import . They then imported correctly. Chartbuster has a lot of errors on their disks, and Importing a disk with an error on them will put the error on the Import.

I hope this helps.

Gduns; I see, but why do the errors get seen on the imports, but not on the copies you make for use in importing?
Also, why does the disc with those errors you speak of play fine in a CDG player, but NOT after import?
Did you have trouble with any songs on those discs, or just the "end-of-disc" (TRACK #14 & 15) as I seem to?

On the chartbusters The errors can be seen on most any tracks. the problems will be more prominent at the end of the disk simply because the outer rings of the cdg reads at a slower speed, and is subject to error. The cdg machines were designed to specificaly read cdgs, whereas on a computer cd reader other than plextor it is a second thought. Some players simply will not import cdg's without error. I believe that chartbuster either throws in errors as a type of copy protection, of their workmanship is so hastily done they dont check it. At any rate, if you notice on the cb ess collection. they done make all of the disks multisession. Figure that one out.

gduns: Thanx a lot!

How 'bout this one? When re-importing?
When I rename a hard drive file ex. 600 - 14 - title - artist so I can reimport those said songs, I also type in the same book ID as 600 as well so book ID = disc ID. But it doesnt let me enter an already used book ID. The message I get is "Book ID in use, choose anoither"?
How can I get that same song to the same book ID and disc ID number as the original w/o having to copy a whole disc with that track on #14?

I have a Plextor 716a and I don't get any bad spots (glitches) when I import them. I just imported cb60347 the newest one.

lmcmains,
I didnt start getting theese errors untill the essentials 4 series. but 4,5,&6 essentials are all like that. I haven't had that problem with the 6000 series, or the 9000 series.

I see gduns and incmains, now can you help me with reimporting a single file from the hard drive back into that same disc ID and Book ID number....please see my previous post ..about 5 up from this one?
