Introduction to CD-Wizard

This chapter gives you a basic introduction in the functions and concepts of CD-WIZARD After reading this chapter you will be able to use CD-WIZARD extensively.

You have three possibilities to start CD-WIZARD. The normal method is the start menu and the program menu. CD-WIZARD can also be started via the program menu and the subdirectory 'CD-WIZARD'. The third possibility can be reached in the desktop extensions. This will be explained later in a separate chapter. You can also start CD-WIZARD from the desktop, if you have placed it there.

Depending on the configuration of your computer, the following warning window can appear:

When writing on a CD-R media, it is essential, that there is a constant data transfer. But the transfer can be interrupted if the computer has to do other things at the same time. This can be the case, if you insert a CD-ROM and the computer has to recognize and possibly has to start a program. (i.e. Auto Start CD). For this case CD-WIZARD can deactivate the automatic recognition when the ASAPI interface is used. If not, the above windows will appear and you can select for which drive you want to deactivate the notification. Remove the checkmarks from the drives for which you want to deactivate the "auto insert notification". If you aren't sure which drive influences the writing on the CD, just disable  this function for every drive.

Now CD-WIZARD will actually be started. The Welcome window of the CD-WIZARD will appear.

Here you get useful hints for program operation.In parallel you can carry out by clicking the buttons following program operations:

· Starting CD-COPY

· Generate a new Virtual CD

· Get access to this manual

· Show the next tip of the day

If you don't need this hint screen anymore, you have the option for a permanent switch off from the next program start onwards.

By clicking 'close' you will get access to the main screen.

As you can see, CD-WIZARD is similar to the 'Windows Explorer'. On the left hand side you see the tree structure of you CD-WIZARD desktop while the right side always corresponds to the drive on the left, that is activated. This can be e.q. files or also functions for special objects.

One of our main CD-WIZARD development targets have been the best possible integration into Windows 95. That's why we could put many functions into the object related menus (right mouse key). After a short time of learning, you can work much faster with this local menu structure  than with the standard menu line.


Virtual CDs

The main element for effectively working with CD-WIZARD is the virtual CD. The virtual CD contains all the information except the data for the new CD. Instead of the data all links to the data are stored in the virtual CD. For this reason you only need a small part of the memory which shall come on the CD.

While writing or creating an image, the files are combined to a legal CD-ROM format.

Right after starting CD-Wizard the first time, you will see the directory 'virtual CD-ROMs'. In this directory you can create or load as many different virtual CDs as you want. For this you have to click on the 'virtual CD-ROM' with the right mouse button.

You can 'add' virtual CDs which already exist or were even created on other computers. With 'new' you can create new virtual CDs. They then will be shown with the corresponding tracks, if present, in the tree structure. The way the tree structure looks and what the different elements mean, will be explained in the following chapters.


CD Formats

A CD generally consists of one up to at most 99 tracks. A Track is a continuous region on the CD, which is addressed by the track number. With an audio CD one track usually corresponds to one song. CDs consisting of one data track combined with audio tracks are called mixed mode CDs.

In contrary to a track, a CD does not have to be written without interruption. If ordinary CD-ROM drives or audio players shall be able to read the CD, the writing process has to be terminated. This termination is named  'finalize'. The written part of the CD is called session. A session can contain one or more tracks. If you add more sessions to an existing session, the CD can only be read by drives which are capable of multisession. Most computer CD-ROMs are capable but hardly any audio CD-ROM has this feature. That is why it makes no sense to add another audio track after finalizing a CD, because no audio CD Player can play this part. If you add a second session to the first session, you need the information from the first session for the multisession CD if you want to use the first session as well. If you are able to read the first session, you have a multisession CD otherwise a multivolume CD.

If you start with an audio track and add a data track, you call such a CD 'CD Plus' or 'CD Extra'. An audio player can than play the music and the computer has access to the data.

Besides of these format the CD-Wizard is able to generate Bootable CDs. It will be differed between the floppy and the hard disk emulation. An image of the floppy or the hard disk will be written to the CD, in addition to your CD-ROM data. If your BIOS supports this option, the CD will boot as Drive A or Drive C. The original Drive A (or Drive C) will be assigned to Drive B (or Drive ..., the next free letter).

It is also very important to 'close' the CD. You can enable this in each writing session. If this option is enabled you can not add data to the CD again.


New virtual CD from the Welcome dialog

When starting the CD-WIZARD the Welcome screen appears if this isn't switched off. In the right half of the window you see the button "New vitual CD". Pushing this button takes you to the assistent for Virtual CD creation. Please read further at "Virtual CD assistent".


New virtual CD from the desktop

You can also create a new virtual CD without starting the CD-WIZARD only by using the CD-WIZARD desktop integration. Simply click with the right mouse button on the windows desktop background and select New/Virtual CD from the menu. A virtual CD icon will appear. The name of the icon will be the name of the CD. You can rename the icon by pushing the F2 key. Please consider that the name must end with ".vcd". To fill the CD with data, you can drop any data from the explorer to the virtual CD. What kind of CD is created, depends on the data you drop on it. If you drop only WAV files 44.1 kHz, 16 Bit, stereo an audio CD will be created. Otherwise the CD will be a data CD. If you want to add special tracks you can use the "Virtual CD assitent". To start the assistant select "Add track" from the menu. If you want to write the CD you have to select "Write CD" from the menu.


New virtual CD from the CD-WIZARD

You can create a new virtual CD also directly in the CD-WIZARD. Click on the empy page icon in the icon bar.

You can also create a virtual CD by choosig "New" from the local menu "Virtual CDs".

In both cases you are lead to the assistant for virtual CD creation which is described in the next chapter.


Virtual CD assistant

After starting the virtual CD assistant the following window appears.

Please specify the name of the virtual CDs you want to create. This name is only for your administration and must not be identical with the name of the CD you want to create. Click on "Next" to get to the next page.

In the next page you have to choose the type of the track you want to create. Yoe can choose between data track, audio track and image track.


Create an audio track from a WAV / MP3 file

If you have already an existing audio file you can add this file to your virtual CD. Remember that on the WAV and the MP3 formats are supported and the quality must be 44,1 kHz, 16 Bit, stereo.

The box shows the the audio files you have selected the last times. You can also seach the audio files with a browser by clicking the "Search" button.

If you add compressed data to your virtual CD these data will be decompressed before writing the CD.

After adding the track you are asked if you want to add another track. If you want to, answer with "Yes". The assistant will start from the beginning. If not, the assistant will finish.


Create an audio track by DirectAudio

With DirectAudio you can sample audio direct from your soundcard to your virtual CD.

You can start the recording by clicking the red button. If you want to finish the recording you have to click on the same button which shows a stop sign while recording. After recording, you can play the recorded audio file by clicking the "Play" button.

To add the recorded file to your virtual CD click on "Finish". After adding the track you are asked if you want to add another track. If you want to, answer with "Yes". The assistant will start from the beginning. If not, the assistant will finish.


Create an audio track from an existing CD

If you have no existing WAV files available on your harddisk you can select audio tracks direcly from an existing CD. First you have to select the device from which you want to read. After that, click on next to go to the next page.

You can select more than one track by pressing the Shift or the Ctrl key simultaneously.

If the CD titles are not regognized automatically you can assign names to the CD and the tracks manually by selecting the text and pressing F2. This is the same, as you can rename files in the Widnows operating system. You should assign names to the tracks because the automatic label generation uses these name and the tracks are stored on the harddrive with these names.

To read the specified tracks from the disk and add your virtual CD you have to click on "Finish". After adding the track you are asked if you want to add another track. If you want to, answer with "Yes". The assistant will start from the beginning. If not, the assistant will finish.


Creation of a data track

If you want to create a data track you have to specify the most important settings of this data track at first.

The Volume Name will become the name of the CD after writing. You also have to select whether the CD shall use the long file names according to the Microsoft Joliet Format and whether the files shall all have the same date. If you do not choose the JOLIET Format you can only use names in the DOS Format 8+3. Selecting that all files should have the same date and time will cause, that the time and date informations of all files will be set to the creation time of the virtual CD. You can change all settings after the virtual CD creation, too. Click on "Next" to go to the next page.

You can use this window to add contents from your computer to the virtual CD. To do this you have to select the source files and directories at the left side and than to click "Add". If you want to delete entries from the virtual CD you have to select the files and directories which you want to delete on the right side and then click "Delete".

You do not have to use this dialog because you can do all the things you can do here much better in the normal CD-WIZARD Explorer interface after a short while of settling.

If you have finished to add the contents of the virtual CD you have to click on "Finish". After adding the track you are asked if you want to add another track. If you want to, answer with "Yes". The assistant will start from the beginning. If not, the assistant will finish.


Creation of an image track

If you already have an image of a track, you can add this image to your CD by selection this item. You can type the path and name of the image in the field or click on "Search" to search for the imagefile. You do not have to select the type of the image because the type is regonized automatically.

If you have specified the track you want to use you have to click on "Finish". After adding the track you are asked if you want to add another track. If you want to, answer with "Yes". The assistant will start from the beginning. If not, the assistant will finish.


Properties of Virtual CDs

To set the format of a CD you have to select the corresponding 'virtual CD' with the right mouse button and then select 'properties'.

In the registry 'general' you can compare the size of your virtual CD with the the total size of the selected CD. If the size of the the virtual CD is bigger than the size of the selected CD you are warned.

This registry offers you to input CD title, interpreter, as well as the UPC code. The title and the interpreter will be used for the automatic print label generation. The UPC code will be written to the CD. The UPC code (Universal Product Code) is a world-wide valid unique number for Manufacturer and product.


Properties of data tracks

You will get access to the properties by opening (right mouse click) the local menu of -Virtual CD - Track- Properties

General

In the 'general' registry you set the track format, as well as the creation, changing, validity and expiration date and the copy permission. The indications don't have to be used but are defined in the ISO standard. The copy bit does not prevent the coping of the track. It only shows the property.

Normal Data CDs will be created in CD-ROM Mode 1. Mode 2XA CDs will be used very seldom.

Misc

Here the data track title, the ISRC Code as well as a pause before and after a track can be assigned. After writing the CD the data track title becomes the name of the CD.  The ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) explains the generation of the CD. But this is not so often used. The item 'Pause between Tracks' is given in the format Minutes:Seconds:Frame (1/75 Seconds) . The evaluation of this information is very depending on  the CD-Recorder and the kind of recording. Most of the available

CD-Rs support the pause information only with the Disk-At-Once recording.

Volume informations

The settings in the 'volume information' make up the 'primary volume descriptor'. These describe the CD. The entries have the following meaning:

Volume name: The CD is integrated in the system with this name. If you enter 'TEST' here, the CD will appear as 'TEST' on your desktop.

System name: The name of the system, for which the CD was created.

Name of the set: If the CD is part of a set of CDs, the name of the set is entered here. Is it part of a set of wild animals in Australia, you could enter 'wildlife' as a set name.

Publisher: Here you can enter the name of the publisher. This entry does not have to correspond with the producer.

Application: Here you can enter information about the contents and the files on the CD.

Data preparation: The person that prepared the data.

Copyright: The name of the copyright file, which has to be present in the root directory of the CD.

Bibliography: You can enter the name of a file in the root directory, containing bibliographic information on the CD.

Abstract: Here you can enter the name of a file in the root directory, containing information about the CD.

Filenames

In the registry 'filename' you will find format options, concerning the filenames. You can select the 'Joliet' format, enter a file version and whether all files shall have the same date.  With the JOLIET format is becomes possible to create data names with more than 8+3 characters. If CDs should be created for a Microsoft operating system windows 95 or NT4 or higher, the Joliet format is recommended.

The file version is not used any more. In this option one add to each filename the version separated by a semicolon.

Bootable CDs

With the CD-Wizard you have the possibility  to create CDs, from which the computer can start up, if the computer BIOS supports it. These CDs are called Bootable CDs. There are 2 kind of boot emulations:

A Hard disk drive (HDD)  and a Floppy disk drive (FDD) emulation. With both options the first drive (A or C) will be moved to the next free character and the CD will become A or C.

Depending on the emulation modus the complete image of a FDD or HDD partition will be written to the CD, additional to the data track. You can select between the device and an image data file. If you choose HDD, the data of the HDD will be read out during the burn process. If you choose FDD, the image of the FDD will be back up stored on HDD. Therefore there is no need to have the Floppy available during the burn process.

AutoPlay

With the CD-WIZARD you can create AutoPlay CDs. If such a CD is inserted in an Computer with Windows operating system and the "auto insert notification" is enabled, the program, specified in this settings will be started. You can specify the program and the icon directly on this page or through the file properties.

Please note that only one file can be the AutoPlay file. If you select another file, the last settng will be resetted.

File filter

This setting enables you to exclude files or directories from the writing process. You can add the predefined coditions and add user defined conditions with wildcards. (e.g. *.bak, *.old).


Properties of Audio Tracks

Access to the audio tracks properties are given by the local menu ( right mouse click) of any audio track of a virtual CD.

General

The registry 'General' shows up  the type, name and size of the audio track. The items 'Copy Permission' is only a indication and does not prevent the copying of the track. CDs, recorded with 'Preemphasis` have a special enhancement of the high audio frequencies.

Misc

Here you can input the audio track title, the ISRC code as well as a pause before and after the track.

The item CD recognition will be used for the automatic label generation. The ISRC code (International Standard Recording Code) describes the generation of the CD. But this is used rarely. The item 'Pause between Tracks' is given in the format Minutes: Seconds: Frame (1/75 Seconds) . The evaluation of this information is very depending on  the CD-Recorder and the kind of recording. Most of the available CD-Rs support the pause information only with the Disk-At-Once recording.


Add Files

To add and change files on a track you proceed just like with the Windows Explorer. CD-WIZARD was developed such, that you don't have to learn new things an can start right away. Just pull the files and directories you want on your CD onto the directory in the track of your virtual CD.

Furthermore you have the same functions as in the Explorer for creating directories an manipulation files and directories like renaming, adding and deleting. All these functions can be reached in the object menu as well if you press the right mouse button. Keep in mind, that the files you enter in your virtual CDs are only links to the original files. If you rename, move or delete them, the links will become invalid.


Multisession CDs

For creating a multisession CD you first have to create a new virtual CD. After that you must add the directory structures of the CD on which you write the virtual CD. If you do not add these structures you cannot access the data which was available on the disk before writing.

There are two ways for adding the contents of the CD. If you only want to add new data you can make your virtual CD as normally and write this virtual CD on the CD. The CD-WIZARD will recognize, that the CD is not empty and ask you wether you want to add the contents of the CD or not.

You can also add the content of a specific track by choosing 'add multisession' in the local menu of the current track. The following window will appear.

In the upper field you can select the CD recorder you want to read the track information from. If you can't find any recorder, please read the chapter about error correction.

Did you choose a recorder with an inserted CD a list with tracks will appear. Chose the track with the directory structure you want to use and click on 'add'. The data of this track will appear in the new directory structure with a reference. You can use the files in the same way as ordinary files. If you delete a file with reference, you don't gain the space on the CD, but you have no access on this data from the new session.


Create ISO Image / Direct Pre-mastering
Create ISO Image / Direct Premastering

Due to the unique concept of CD-Wizard, a kind of pre-mastering is already done by generating a virtual CD.

If there is a need to sent the data to someone, or to archive your CD data, you can easily generate

an ISO Image, whenever you want:

When a data track is created you can create an ISO image. This is usually not necessary except if the CD is produced in larger number by a CD producer. Is this the case you have to select 'save as ISO image' form the object menu. You will be asked to enter the name the image shall be called. The image than can be transferred directly to the producer. How to write your own CD is explained in the chapter "Writing CD-Rs".


The integrated WAV editor

The CD-WIZARD contains a powerful WAV editor with real time effects. This editor appears autoatically in the right half of the window if an audio track is selected in the treeview.

In the top of the editor the iconbar is located.

The buttons of this bar have the following function from the left to the right:

Play:

With Play you can play the wave file with your soundcard. The playing begins at the current position of the Play Marker. If you click the Stop button once again the Play Marker will be resetted to the beginning of the file. While playing some functions cannot be used. However, most of the functions and all real time effects are working.

Pause:

Pause pauses the current playing process. If you want to continue push this this button once again.

Stop:

Stop stops the current playing process. If you push this button once again the Play Marker is resetted to the beginning of the file.

Save:

Save saves all changes and effects into the WAV file. The old track is overwritten. If you have splitted the track you will get as much WAV files as often you have splitted the track. The new tracks are automatically integrated in the CD-WIZARD treeview structure. The effects must be calculated for the whole track. This can take a few minutes.

No Zoom:

Pressing this button will show the full WAV file in the WAF detail view.

Zoom Selection:

If you press this button the WAV detail views will show the selected part of the WAV file. You can select a part with the right mouse button in the WAV detail view.

You can move the selection by clicking in the selected area with the right mouse button, holding the button and move the mouse. The seletion can be resized by clicking with the mouse on a border of the selection and mouse the mouse.

Zoom In:

If you want to see more details in the WAV detail view, you have to push this button.

Zoom Out:

If you want to see less details in the WAV detail view, you have to push this button.

Set Index:

An index is a mark in track. Some CD-Recorders can write these indizes and some CD-Players can read them. With these CD-Players you can play indizes like tracks. Please note, that a track begins automatically with an index. Pushing this button sets an index at the current position of the Play Marker. You can also create an index by clickin with the right mouse button on the index bar.

Delete Index:

If you push this button the current index is deleted if possible. You can also delete indizes by clicking with the right mouse into the index bar.

Set Trackmark:

With this button you can split the track. The real splitting into different WAV files will be done if you save the track.

Delete Trackmark:

With this button you are able to delete the current trackmark. When saving the changes the track will not be splitted at this position.


Declick / Denoise

This button enables you to reduce noises, clicks and scratches from the original sound input. These errors in the audio signal can occur if you sample data from bad analog source devices. With the slider you can specify the quality of your input data. If the quality is very themore transformations are needed. These calculations impede the original sound, too.


Pitch

This effect changes the speed of the playblack of the audio signal. The sound seems to be with higher frequencies if it is played faster and with lower frequencies if it is played slower.


Echo

Input Gain:

This value defines how much of the input data is used for the calculations.

Panorama:

This value define the balance (left / right) of the signal.

Output Gain:

This value defines how much of the caclulated data is fed back into the original data before playing.

Filter:

This checkbox enables the feedback of the echo calculations loog into the original signal.

Feedback:

This value defines the feedback of the echos into the original sound.

Delay:

This value defines the delay of the current echo loop before feeding back into the original sound.

Gain:

This value defines how many percent of the calculated signal is fed back into the echo loop.


Flanger

Delay:

Dry Mix:

This value defines the percentage of the original signal which is mixed back into the input signal.

Wet Mix:

This value defines the percentage of the calculated signal which is mixed back into the input signal.

Feedback:

This value defines the feedback of the echos into the original sound.

Mod. Rate:

The value defines the modulation rate, with which the signal is modulated

Mod. Depth:

This value defines the modulation depth. Every single modulation is done in this bandwidth.

This value defines the delay of the left channel.

Right Delay:

This value defines the delay of the right channel.


Phaseshift

Sweep:

This value defines how much the signal is "sweeped"

Dry Mix:

This value defines the percentage of the original signal which is mixed back into the input signal.

Wet Mix:

This value defines the percentage of the calculated signal which is mixed back into the input signal.

Feedback:

This value defines the feedback of the echos into the original sound.

Mod. Rate:

The value defines the modulation rate, with which the signal is modulated

Mod. Depth:

This value defines the modulation depth. Every single modulation is done in this bandwidth.


Automatic Label Generation

If you want to create CD labels or cover inlay sheets  please select from the virtual CD local menu the item 'Labels'. Depending of the CD type different format drafts are selected. For an Audio CD the following window will appear:

As you can see, for Audio CDs the Audio Tracks are listed with their names. (Audio CDs which are not automatically recognized, should be named before starting the label program.)

If you have (virtual)  Data CD or a Mixed More CD the following format draft will appear:

Unlike Audio CDs, where tracks will be shown, here you will get listed the main directories.


Label Features

You have the possibility to switch between the circular CD label, the CD case inlay cover card and the

CD case inlay backside sheet. This you can do with the appropriate buttons or  with the menu item 'View'.

For each of these label you have a properties menu by clicking on the draft background and then selecting properties. Here you can assign the standard font values.

If you select 'print help lines', the object frames will be printed, too. This can help you to cut the sheets, if you don't use pre-cutted print material, or if you want to calibrate your prints.

In the registry 'Fonts' you can select your font types and save this as standard for this virtual CD. To change the font types you only have to select the appropriate button. The following window appears:

Besides the font types you can select color, style, etc.

On the right side you find the schematic draft of the selected labels. Only the just active label will be shown. Depending on your selections, the labels will be at different positions. It is recommended, to test printouts and adjust the margins on normal paper until the prints are exactly calibrated for the label sheets.

If you use label paper with 3 labels/sheet you can select up, middle, down labels.

This registry defines the inlay cards. There will be the inlay card for the cover page and the inlay cards for the back side. For the cover page you have the option for a normal card or a folder. If you want the cover inlay and the back inlay printed on the same page please choose the option  'print on paper with cover inlay. The calibration procedure is the same as for the circular labels.


Text and  Drawing Objects

It is obvious, that you can add own texts and other objects. By clicking on the left sided tool bar you can choose the symbol for the requested object. - ellipse, rectangle, image

After selecting the symbol you draw, the left mouse button pushed,  a rectangle for the area where your object should be placed. For a new  text string you only have to click the left mouse button in the selected drawing area.

The created objected are easily moved or changed you select your object by left mouse button. After selection 8 points will appear (one for each corner and one for the middle of each line). You can change your objects by moving these points.  You can move your object with the cursor, the left mouse button pushed.


Object properties

Each object has its own individual properties. You can inspect and change them by selecting the object with the left mouse button and choosing 'Properties' from the object menu. Or you choose with the right mouse button 'Properties ' from the local menu.

The text properties define the text itself, the font type, the size and the position of the text frame.

The ellipse properties define size, position, type of lines and the fill stile. The property 'transparency' should be selected for a non filled ellipse.

Same as the ellipse properties the rectangular properties define size, position, type of lines and the fill stile. The property 'transparency' should be selected for a non filled rectangular.

Images can be loaded by the 'Load Button`. The images must be available in the BMP format.


Object Positioning

If several objects covering each other, it becomes necessary the arrange the order of objects. The CD-Wizard offers you the menu items for each object and the buttons 'To the foreground' / 'To the background' in the task bar.

All this above will able you to create fast and effectively attractive and professional CD Labels.


Jukeboxes

A Jukebox is a combination of drives, a place to put CDs and a transport mechanism for the CDs. The CD-WIZARD supports the following elements:

Jukebox:

The Jukebox enables an easy access to al elements in the Jukebox. Double click on the Jukebox icon to open the Jukebox to have access to all the elements.

Magazin:

All CDs are organized in Slots which are organized in Magazins. Often Magazins are also a mechanical unit with access from out of the Jukebox.

Slot:

A Slot is a place to put the CDs when they are not in any element. Typically a slot is into a magazine.

Mailslot:

A mailslot is a special slot with access from out of the Jukebox.

Printer:

Some jukeboxes have special printers for CD printing.

Drive:

The drives in Jukeboxes can be both CD-ROM drives and CD-Recorders. You can handle drives exactly like drives which are not organized in CD-Recorders.Only the appearance is different because drives in a Jukebox are organized below the Jukebox in the treeview.

When starting the CD-WIZARD, all elements in any connected Jukebox are checked whether they are full or empty. The elements with CDs in them are marked with a small CD about their logo. If it is impossible to check an element, the element is marked with a question mark.


Moving CDs in Jukeboxes

CDs can betransported from one element into another through simple drag and drop. To prevent errors, only full or unknown elements can be dropped.


Writing CD-Rs

For writing the virtual CD on the CD-R you have to choose 'Write to CD' from the local menu of the corresponding virtual CD or select the "Write CD" icon. The following window will open.

First you have to select the CD-Recorder(s) on which you want to write. To do so you have to mark the boxes in front of the Cd-Recorders. If you want to write parallel on more than one CD-Recorder, please keep in mind that all CD-Recorders must be exactly of the same type and firmware version. In jukebox systems you have to open the jukebox to get access to the drives in the jukebox. You can ope the jukebox through clicking the small "+" symbol in front if the jukebox symbol or through double clicking the jukebox symbol. In jukebox systems it is also possible to mark slots and magazines. If you do so the CD-WIZARD will transport the CD-R(W)s into the selected CD-Recorders and write and/or verify the CDs automatically when you click on start. If your CD-Recorder is not recognized as a CD-Recorder please read the chapter "Troubleshooting".

The next step is to set the writing speed. The optimal speed depends on you system configurations. You can try the speeds available in the simulations mode without risking an error.

The next important setting is the write method you want to use. The CD-WIZARD supports Track-At-Once, Session-At-Once and Disk-At-Once. All methods have specific advantages and disadvantages. Some Recorders do not support all write methods:

Track-At-Once:

This write method writes the tracks one after another in seperat write processes. The advantage is that the session does not have to be closed. The disadvantage is, that there must be a gap between the tracks. Some CD-Recorders support only two seconds pause and others support "Track Pause Zero" which means a gap of two frames (2x 1/75 second).

Session-At-Once:

This write method write the complete session in one step. The advantage is that there must not be a gap between the tracks in this session. The disadvantage is that the session has to be closed.

Disk-At-Once:

This method writes the complete CD in one step. The advantage is an optimal space utilisation. The disadvantage is that no more data can be written on the CD.

The next step is to select the closing method. The following methods are available:

Close CD:

This option closes the CD finally. No more data can be written to the CD.

Close Session:

This option closes only the session but not the CD. The CD can be read in any CD-ROM and additional sessions can be appended to the CD if enough space is available.

Leave Session open:

This option does not close the session. Additional tracks can be written on the CD but before the session is closed the CD cannot be read in a normal CD-ROM drive.

Please note that most of all Audio-CD Players are only able to play the first session.

The next important setting is simulation. When simulating all write operations are executed, but the write laser is switched off. If the writing procedure is discontinued the CD-R is not affected and can be used after correcting the error. As long as you are not sure about the performance of your system you should always make a simulation before you really write.

Because that you don't have to be present after a successful simulation CD-WIZARD offers you some special option to execute after a simulation. Like this you can choose  'not write', 'write directly' and 'write after confirmation'. The last point is meaningful for CD writers that eject or need to eject the CD-R after simulation.

If the simulation is not successful because your system was not fast enough you can reduce the speed of writing and a activate 'write on hard disk first'. With this option an image is created on hard disk and then is written to the CD-R. Like this also weak systems can write CDs without creating a image file.

The last setting is verify. If you select this option, the written data is verfied with the data which should be written. The differences are written in the logfile.


Scheduled Writing

In a jukebox system it is possible to wite several CDs or whole magazins in one writing process. The changing of the CDs is done automatically. After the writing process is finished you get an slot overview. This overview showns you the latest status of the CDs.


Reading Audio CDs

You may like to read audio data from CD. CD-WIZARD has an option in combination with a cutting system, that can read audio data as a whole or in parts an save it as WAV file. For this you just have to put an audio CD in a CD-ROM drive and activate the function 'save as' in the local menu (right mouse button).

Notice that many SCSI CD-ROM drives and all CD writers are able to read audio data in digital format but hardly any AT/DIE/ATAPI CD-ROM drive. This has nothing to do with the ability to play audio data. After activating 'save as' the following screen opens.

In the upper part of the window, you can define where to save the data. With the scrollbar and the buttons for beginning and end you can define the region for saving. The default setting is the whole track. Underneath the scrollbar you find the size in Mbytes, minutes and sectors.

Because there is no positioning information about the data on audio CDs some CD writers have problems with positioning on the CD. For preventing these problems CD-WIZARD has a special procedure called 'read  safe'. This procedure is slower but results in much better quality.


Troubleshooting


Confirm automatic notification settings

This dialog appears only if the the ASPI interface is used. The normal ASAPI interface is able to turn off the "auto inster notification" dynamically. The activated "auto insert notification" can cause loss of data and reduced performance while writing. We suggest you to turn off the "automatic insert notification". To do so, you have to remove the checkmarks in fornt of the devices. Please note, that the changes will take effect after the next reboot.

If you wan to confirm your settings, push this button.


Search database entry

A database of CD-Titles is included in the CD-WIZARD. Pushing this button starts the search for a specific CD. Before doing this you have to specify the properties of the CD you want to search.


Draw Area

In this area you can create labels for your CD. With the icons above you can switch between the different ofts of labels and do some actions. At the left is the toolbar with with tools for you label creation like text, box etc.


Confirm driver assignment

Pushing this button sets the driver assignment for the specified drive to the specified driver. From now on the drive will be accessed by this driver. If the drive is not compatible to the driver, this can cause errors.


Read data safely

Some drives may have problems with reading digital audio. Selecting this option forces the drive to read with a special mode (Jitter Correction) wich has better results on some drives. The speed of the audio extraction is significally reduced.


Seek

Here you can set the position for playing and reading digital audio.

New virtual CD

The base of the work with the CD-WIZARD is the virtual CD. This virtual CD contais all the data for the CD to be created. The data is stored in the form of references to the original files. So the the place needed for this virtual CD is very little. While writing or image creation the data is combined to a real CD.

If you want to create a new virtual CD, push this button. The CD-WIZARD assistant will guide you through the cirtual CD creation.


Do not show the notification message again

This dialog appears only if the the ASPI interface is used. The normal ASAPI interface is able to turn off the "auto insert notification" dynamically.

Data track copy permitted

Selecting this option will write a "Copy permitted" bit to the CD-R(W). This bit indicates that the copy of this CD is permitted. This bit can be read by any software but is no copy protection.


Data track type

Here you can select the track type. Normally data CDs are written in mode 1. You can also write in mode 2. The operating system can read both types.


Track title

The operating system will show the written CD with this name. Most of all operating systems like Windows accept names with up to 11 characters.


Data track ISRC

The ISRC code describes the recording of the CD. ISRC stands for International Standard Recording Code.

This option enables the "International Standard Recording Code" for the track. Leave this box unchecked if you do not have an ISRC number (described in ISO 3901) for the recorded material. In order to assign an ISRC you need an ISRC Owner Code.

To learn more about the ISRC and to obtain an ISRC Owner Code, please write to:

No gap

The pause settings are very important and lead often to misunderstandings. Standardized are pause settings of 0 seconds (no pause), 2 seconds and 3 seconds. The settings "No pause" is forbidden before the first track and beween tracks with a mode change (e.g. data track followed by a audio track).

Please note that the writing of the pause settings depends on the capabilities of the selected write mode and CD-Recorder.


2 Seconds

ISO Level 1

ISO Level 1 is the short form for ISO 9660 Level 1. This is the base specification which can be read from almost all computer systems.


ISO Level 2

ISO Level 2 is the short form for ISO 9660 Level 2. This specification is a little bit more advanced then ISO 9660 Level 1 but can also be read from almost all computer systems.


ISO 9660

ISO9660 is the base specification for a file system for CD-ROM drives which can be read from almost all computer systems. Other file systems like JOLIET are only additional and do not replace the original ISO 9960.


DOS Charset

The DOS charset allows more characters than the original ISO 9660 specification. The CD-WIZARD supports both charsets automatically.


Maximum of 8 directory levels

The first ISO9660 specification has set a maximum of 8 subdirectories. This makes nowadays no sense so the CD-WIZARD offers the possibility to create more than 8 directory levels.


Maximum of 255 Characters in Path

The first ISO9660 specification has set a maximum of 8 subdirectories. This makes nowadays no sense so the CD-WIZARD offers the possibility to use more than 255 characters for a path.


Same date and time for all files

If you select this option, all files and directories will have the same time and date. You can set this common date in the track properties dialog. If you do not change the date, the date used will be the date of the creation of the virtual CD.


Write file versions

The CD-WIZARD can wrte file version to each file on a CD automatically. This method comes from the unix operating system and makes no sense in a normal operating system. This option is not recommended for use with the CD-WIZARD.


UDF

UDf is a new filesystem which can be witten additionally to ISO9660 to the CD. UDF has some advantages and is used often additinal to ISO9660 for DVD-R(OM)s

Write all files

If you select this option you do not exclude any files and all files are written to the CDs. If you don't want to write all files or directories you have to select the "Exclude files" option. Additional to the predefined attributes you can define a list of conditions which must match the files to be excluded.


Exclude files

If you want to exclude files from writing you have to select this option. If done, alle files and folders which match with the defined conditions are excluded from the writing. Beside the predefined conditions you can add new conditions.

For excample, if you add "*.bak" to the list, all files which end with .bak are excluded. The star replaces any chars.


Exclude options

Files and folders which match with the conditions defined here are excluded from the writing process if the "Exclude files" option is turned on.


Hidden files

Windows and some applications use hidden files. These files are added to a virtual CD as normal files. Normally these files are no data files and so it can make sense to exclude this files from the writing process. Select this option if you want to to so.


System files

Windows uses system files. These files are added to a virtual CD as normal files. Normally these files are no data files and so it can make sense to exclude this files from the writing process. Select this option if you want to to so.

Disc size

This dialog contains information about the CD size. Since the size of the written CD depends on the used write method and the capabilities of the CD-Recorder the values showed can differ from the real writing values a little bit. The dislayed values match most exactly if the Disk-At-Once writing method is used. Another reason is, that the size of CD-R(W)s is never exect 74 min. but differs a few seconds.


Create CD as CD-Extra

You can create a MixedMode Cd as a CD Extra CD. This format is very unusual and reverses the order of the data and audio sequences. You can create a CD Extra manually by writing an audio CD with a closed session and after that a data track to the same CD.


CD Title

Specify the title of the CD to be created. This title is nessecary for the automatic creation of CD labels.


Artist

Specify the name of the artist. This artist name is nessecary for the automatic creation of CD labels.


Upc code
UPC / EAN code

The UPC (UniversalProductCode) is a kind of barcode which is written to the CD. You can recognize CDs with this code. Only few CDs use this barcode because not every drive is able to read this code.

The UPC Code (Universal Product Code) identifies products and manufacturers. The address where the code can be obtained depends on the country.

Pushing this button will abort cancel the writing dialog. All changes are lost.


CD-Recorder list

This list contains all the device which are able to store the virtual CD data. Depending on your version you can select one or many. If you have jukeboxes connected you can also select whole magazines.


Write speed

With this setting you can set the write speed. Your system needs more performance if a higher write speed is selected. This counts more if you write parallel on more than one CD-Recorder.

If a write process fails due to a buffer underrun the system is not fast enough to deliver the data with the speed needed to the CD Recorder. A chance to fix this is to reduce the write speed. If this isn't enough you can save the files to the harddisk first. This makes sense because so the On the fly collection of files is not nessecary and this saves much of the systems resources.


Close session

If the Session is closed, every normal CD-ROM drive is able to read the CD. Of course the medium itself must be readable. Not all CD-ROM drives can read CD-RW CDs. Pleas note that a normal CD-Player is not capable of Multisession and will only detect on session on your CD. So make sure that if you write audio CDs, they are always in one session.


Close CD

This option is a kind of write protection to the CD. If you select this option no one can change the content of the CD. However a erase of CD-RWs is still possible.


Session type

Specify the type of the session. The type of the session should be same as the tracks written. If you create a mixed mode CD the type of the session should be the same as the type of the first data track.


Write to hard disk first

If a write process fails due to a buffer underrun the system is not fast enough to deliver the data with the speed needed to the CD Recorder. A chance to fix this is to reduce the write speed. If this isn't enough you can save the files to the harddisk first. This makes sense because so the On the fly collection of files is not nessecary and this saves much of the systems resources.


Write immediately

If you select this option, the real write process will start immediately after the successful finishing of the simulation without need for a confirmation.


Don't write

If you select this option, no write process will start after the successful finishing of the simulation.


Write after confirmation

If you select this option, the real write process will start after a confirmation after the successful finishing of the simulation.


Simulate

If you select this option the CD-WIZARD will do a simulation run before the specified action. In a simulation exactly the same actions are performed like in the real write. The only difference is that the write laser is turned off. You can use the simulation to make sure that your system has enough performace to deliver the data fast enough to the Cd-Recorder(s) to avoid buffer underruns.

If a write process fails due to a buffer underrun the system is not fast enough to deliver the data with the speed needed to the CD Recorder. A chance to fix this is to reduce the write speed. If this isn't enough you can save the files to the harddisk first. This makes sense because so the On the fly collection of files is not nessecary and this saves much of the systems resources.


Track at Once

This write method is available for nearly all CD-Recorders. The tracks are written step by step and the Table of contents is written after the last track. If you do not close the CD you can add additional sessions if there is enough space left. Another advantage is that the CD can be used further, even if a write error occured.

Please note that an audio CD-Player can only detect the first session. If you want to write additional audio tracks to a CD you are not allowed to close the session after the fist write.

A disadvantage of this write method is that it is impossible to write tracks without pauses between. Depending on the CD-Recorder the forced pause can be between 2 1/75 seconds and 2 seconds.


Session at Once

Using this write method CD-WIZARD writes the data of the CD in one pass to the CD. This makes it possible to write the tracks without pauses between.

Please note that an audio CD-Player can only detect the first session. If you want to write additional audio tracks to a CD you are not allowed to use this method.


Disc at Once

Using this write method CD-WIZARD writes the data of the CD in one pass to the CD. This makes it possible to write the tracks without pauses between. You can not write any more data to a CD written in this method.


Verify after write

Selecting this option will cause to run a verification after the write has finished. This verification vifies the data on the CD with the data in the virtual CD. The differences are reported and so you are able the accept the written CD or start another write process.

Pleas note that due to the digital extraction capabilities of most of the CD-ROMs and CD-Recorders no real verification of audio data is possible. The differences are minor cannot be detected from the ear.


Phase shifting sweep


Disable screen saver during write operations

Selecting this option disables the screensaver while the writing process. Sone sreen savers use so much system resources that this can impede the writing process.


Use ASAPI interface

The ASAPI interface is an interface for the access of devices from different operating systems.ASAPI is developed by VOB and has many advantages to the normal ASPI interface.

ASAPI is able to turn off the "automatic insert notification" dynamically. SCSI and IDE/AT-BUS are supported. It is recommended to use the ASAPI interface instead of the ASPI interface.


Phase shifting Dry Mix

This setting regulates the percentage of original sound on which the calculations are done.


Collect small files

The access to many small files is much slower than the access to big files. Due to this the CD-WIZARD offers the possibility to collect small files to temporary images before writing. So you can avoid buffer underruns.


Optimisation settings

This settings influence the CD-WIZARD internal write processes. For systems with high performance less optimisation is required.

Show warning if auto insert notification is turned on

If you select this option, the CD-WIZARD will warn you if you use the ASPI interface and the "auto insert notification" is turned on.


Show welcome dialog after program start

With this option you can switch on and off the Welcome window which appears each time you start the CD-WIZARD. In the Welcome window you see useful tips and you can directly create a virtual CD or copy a CD.


Show description bar

With this option you can switch on and off the description bar for the two sides of the CD-WIZARD explorer. Normally the description bar is switched off.


Start Explorer on launch

Selecting this option will cause the CD-WIZARD to load the Windows explorer next time the CD-WIZARD is started. This option is very useful if you often drag and drop files from the windows explorer to your virtual CDs.
