Hi all,
I'm using Nero InCD to handle my CD/DVD recorder with RW disks as a standard disk.
With InCD, all aplications get the possibility to write, rename, delete etc. individual files to the CD/DVD RW disks, except for SmartPix (8.05) that has a very strange behavior:
I created a new test database (on the HDD) and added some files already present on a DVD+RW.
This worked fine, except the process is very (very) slow.
1) If I unload the DVD, I still have the keywords and thumbs (stored within the database), and a "Load error message" in the database display (good).
When I reload the DVD, nothing changes:
- A single click displays the same "Load error message"
- A double click brings up a window stating "The file <filename> is located on the cdrom <disk label , serial xxxx>, insert the cdrom in your E drive".
When I hit ok, the file is loaded in the external editor, but still not displayed in SPM database view (folders view is ok).
2) I tried to update the database:
- Again the process is very (very very) slow.
- All files are considered as duplicates (option to check duplicates on insert).
If I choose not to insert them, the result is the same as above.
If I choose to insert them, I get a database with duplicate sets of files (as many as updates).
Each duplicate is considered to be on a different disk (the label is always the same, but the serial number is different for each update).
Please help! |

Hi Thierry
Long time no chat :-)
It sounds like the disk does not have a consistent serial number, so SPM does not believe the correct disk is inserted.
Under File>Options, Other, Advanced, what setting do you have for "Always double check CD-ROM errors"?

"Double check for CD-ROM errors" is checked.
I have checked with different disks (DVD+RW, CD-RW), with the same results.
When I use the sames disks previously recorded with Nero, it's OK, and I get a reasonnable performance (5 to 10 times faster than with InCD disks).
The problem seems to come from InCD-SPM compatibility:
Nero (std) CD's are Mode 1, ISO 9660 Joliet.
InCD uses Mode 2, ISO 9660 Joliet, UDF 1.50 preformated CD/DVD RW disks.
It writes on the disk using the packet writing method/UDF format.
This permits any application to create/append/rename/remove files on the RW disks just like on hard drives.
The format of InCD disks seems to be corrupted by the writes done with SPM: after some files add, move or deletes, InCD becomes unable to recognize the disks as regular InCD file system disks (UDF).

Hi Nigel,
It happened that I also got some problems with other applications.
Seems like it came from the new InCD version bundled with Nero v7.
I had to give up with support and switched to an equivalent product: Roxio DLA (Drive Letter Access).
Everything is ok now and I'll be able to free some hard disk space!
You can discard my request. Sorry for inconvenience,
Thierry |
