RE: [H] Nero 6 and CD text

Well, works for me using a Plextor writer and playing the disk on my Sony head unit in the car. Just had a thought. When you add the tracks to Nero, bring up the properties and make sure it has track info in there too. It usually guesses from the file name, but can be quite bad at it. You need to

Do these guys have warranties on their power supplies? I've got 1 of their 400W that doesn't seem to throttle up when I fire up a game - why my system shutdowns I thought were the ati 9800's fault. It's only about a year old and thought I'd RMA it if I could and have another spare, but I can't fi

How do I get Nero to write CD text to an audio CD?  I am trying to put together a compilation and I'd like my player to pick up artist/title.  What do I need to do in Nero Buring ROM version 6?  Is there a list where I can find out if my CD/DVD burner supports CD text?    You'd think I'd be able

Hit WDC's site & search for "Delayed Write Failure" before committing to a model. I know Seagate & Maxtor have had issues with their externals, so caution choosing a model is my suggestion. Veech wrote: I'm looking for a quick storage solution, and considering external hard drives. Buy.com s

The reason you would want a resonably fast CPU would be for video cleanup/postprocessing, especially if the output is to a HDTV. Most midrange video cards would be fine but the processor needs to be fast enough to handle divx and xvid, and to handle at least a little postprocessing. I have semp

Windows MCE is mostly for playback of various forms of media with a slick, user interface instead of having to fun programs and commands. Think of the difference between playing a DVD on your computer and a DVD in your player - which one can your wife do? Windows MCE at its core is simply Windows

They are not intended to be used as a game center, or anything like that are they? I keep reading articles on how to build them, and they always seem to use pretty fast components, fast CPUs, video cards, 2GB of RAM, none of which is needed for a playback machine. Plus high end fast stuff
