Hi Martyn,
The clicking noise you heard probably was the recording head unit coming up
against the stop. You will get slightly different recording times from
different brands of 74m59s discs. Also, 80m59s discs differ from 74m59s
ones in the UTOC formatting & pitch. This means that it is unlikely that
you will get a full 80m59s from a 74m59s disc. WARNING: It is not very
good to let the head unit bump against the stop too much, so in future (with
this brand of disc) record only up to 78m00s to play safe. Other brands of
disc may vary slightly where the 'stop point' is reached. Learn the stop
point of each brand and then record up to 10 seconds before that point.
Regards,
John.
| Hello,
|
| This is the first time I tried cloning on my mini disc
| unit. I was
| able to get extra time on the mini disc by following the
| instructions on
| David Tamkin's web page,
| http://www.minidisc.org/cloning_procedure.html
| . I was able
| to get 78:40 worth of time on a Memorex 74 disc. Around
| :30 before the end of 78:40 there was noise coming from the unit, a
| clicking sound, and just before the time ended the unit displayed an
| error message, (recording error). The unit would not turn
| off, the disc
| wouldn't eject or nothing, until I unplugged it, then everything went
| back to normal. Has anyone else experienced anything like this with
| there Sony 520 recorder? The unit works perfectly at all times, this
| surprised me. I don't see how a person can get more
| from a disc
| by cloning it's TOC, but of course I'm no expert, so I'm not really
| surprised the unit acted up when it did. Should I try another disc to
| see if I can get the complete 80:59, or what I received from the 78:40
| is what is expected with this procedure?
|
| Thanks in advance for any feedback.
|
| Martyn
