No, it is not applicable.

Does R12 not support before-track-one-hidden-audio, or does it just not show up on drives that don't support it? It's not showing anything on a CD that I know has audio there.

Re: Discussion of dMC R12 Alpha

Not by default, no. There is some way to copy that track, but I forget what it is right off.

Thats a problem, especially if Im going to be buying the new reference ver.

Re: Discussion of dMC R12 Alpha

I've been testing R12 for a few months now and basically because of little things like that I've decided to stick with EAC. R12 is missing too many small features that make ripping large numbers of CDs tolerable. If I have to keep EAC around to check for HTOA, I might as well just use it for everything. Same thing with the lack of any ability to fix tags automatically. It might take 2-3 minutes to fix tags in R12 while in EAC I can do in one click.

EAC has no problem with hidden tracks. I would hope a pay for version of dMC would not either. I dont usually know most of the CDs well enough to know there is a hidden track until EAC shows it. I dont want to have to manually change setting to find it...

FYI, the updated exe for usb c2 support, appears to break c2 support for my firewire burner..

I supect the drive has poor c2 anyway, but the new exe definately breaks c2 for it. Disabling c2 (on the newer exe) enables the disc to be ripped.

Re: Discussion of dMC R12 Alpha

That is odd, the fix was to rip in blocks of 13 frames as opposed to 26 (which was causing problems over usb as it is over 64KB). I do not see how ripping less frames should fail on your drive, we will have to see if other reports come in.

Re: Discussion of dMC R12 Alpha

I've been waiting for someone to post this problem, but evidently I'm the only one having it.
When I use the right click/edit ID-tag, more often than not, Windows Explorer crashes and I get the error message " Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.etc. " Sometimes clicking close on the error message will close the explorer window, but more often it takes the Task Manager to close it, and a couple of times, a hard reboot.
This has happened in all the r12 alphas & betas. I have tried redownloading,uninstalling,reinstalling and as a last resort, a clean install of WinXP Pro. I've never had this happen with r11.5. If it's not r12 causing this, then I hope someone out there has a solution to this problem. That said I think r12 will be a great program when finished.

Re: Discussion of dMC R12 Alpha

I had this problem on a few computers and it turns out it was a different right-click entry that another program had put there. Does it only happen on audio files or any files? If it happens on more than just audio files, then dMC is not the problem. If it only happens on audio files, dMC might be the problem, but more investigation is in order.

If it is the later, please start a new thread in the Beta forum so that we may dedicate more effort to solving your problem.

Re: Discussion of dMC R12 Alpha

LtData, I'm pretty sure it's r12. It only happens on editing ID tags. The same thing happened when I installed it on a second computer and when I uninstalled and went back to r11.5, the problem went away.Since no one else has reported this problem, I was reluctant to blame r12,but I can't get any other right click option to crash explorer.

Re: Discussion of dMC R12 Alpha

OK. Please start a new thread in the beta forum so that we may investigate this further. Thanks!

Re: Discussion of dMC R12 Alpha

I was converting some FLAC files into WMA & MP3, so I had two converters running simultaneously. I started the MP3 conversion first, then the WMA conversion.

Two files failed to convert in the MP3 conversion, and I clicked on the "re-convert failed" button.

The converter came back up with the WMA conversion selected -- seems like it should choose the same conversion settings from the failed conversion, not the last conversion settings used.

[LtData]

Re: Discussion of dMC R12 Alpha

dMC stores the settings from the last conversion in the registry, so it uses those settings when it reconverts. This could lead to the problem you describe, however.
