CD Copy Wizard

RSJ CD Copy Wizard creates copies of any source CDs on CD-R and CD-RW media.

CD-RWs that are not empty are automatically blanked (after your confirmation) before the copy process is started.

The RSJ CD Copy Wizard is quite self-explanatory, except for maybe one case:

If you can use only one recorder as both target and source, you need to use a hard disk for temporary storage. Click here for more information about that.

 If you have any questions anyway, please check our FAQ list or contact us.

Notes:

•	After the copy process, the CD is finalized. This task can take a couple of minutes. Please wait until finalization is completed, even if your computer seems not to respond anymore. If you press the reset button or turn off your computer during finalization, the new CD will be unusable!

•	The above mentioned also applies to CD-RW drives when CDs are blanked.

•	If you want to copy only certain tracks, please use RSJ CD-View. CD-View can be launched from within the drive's context menu (in Explorer).

•	Since the RSJ CD Copy Wizard not yet supports Disk-At-Once, Audio CDs are copied with a two second pause (CD standard) between the tracks.

Copy Data With A Single Recorder As Source And Target

In some situations only one CD recorder can be used for both reading and writing the data. RSJ CD Copy Wizard provides a feature where you can save CD data in temporary files on a hard disk. These files are then copied back to the recorder.

To do this, proceed as follows:

1.	Choose the same recorder drive for both source and target on the appropriate dialog page (page 2). Press Next.

2.	On the next page, you have to specify a drive and path for the temporary files. Press the Browse button to use a dialog for that task. This dialog also displays additional information about required and available disk space. Please not that the directory specified has to be empty. If it os not, RSJ CD Copy Wizard will empty the directory for you (after your confirmation). Press Next when done.

3.	If you press Finish on the last page, the recorder starts reading the CD-ROM while the data is stored in the directory specified.

4.	When this task is done, the CD is going to be ejected and you are prompted to insert the target CD. If this is a CD-RW medium, you can insert a non empty CD as well. RSJ CD Copy Wizard then asks you if the contents of that CD can be erased.

5.	After all data has been copied back to the recorder, the CD is automatically finalized. Please see the notes under the main topic for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you can find answers to some frequently asked questions:

CD-View cannot access the CD recorder.

If you're recorder is an external device, make sure it is turned on before you boot the computer.

The medium inserted must not be formatted (with the RSJ CD Writer file system). Ensure there is no other application accessing the recorder.

CD-View does not recognize tracks that it previously wrote to hard disk.

CD-View creates one file for each track using the following naming convention:

TrackXX.trk

where xx is the track number.

If the file names are altered, they won't be recognized as tracks.

Strange errors and crashes

Some SCSI host adapters require you to make sure they do not start synchronous transfer. This option is to be set either using jumpers on the adapter or with some setup utilities (e.g. press Ctrl+A for Adaptec devices). if your adapter offers this option, make sure it's turned off for the recorder.

But:

No rule without exception: the Teac recorders CDR50S and 55S require synchronous transfer!

Maybe some memory chips are defect. Memory faults are hard to track (no parity bit) and often cause a total system crash. If you are not absolutely sure about the RAM used adjust a rather slow access speed setting in your computer's BIOS setup. Turning off the 2nd level cache might be helpful (for testing), too.

Please note that RSJ CD-Writer makes excessive use of installed memory. You might have faulty RAMs and never have a problem with other applications.

Try the latest driver for your SCSI host adapter.

After changing the cache size setting copy operations abort with an error message.

The maximum cache size depends on the amount of memory installed in your system. If the cache size is larger than the available (free) memory, the missing space is retrieved by swapping other data and/or programs to the hard disk. This reduces CD Writer performance and might cause copy faults.

CD-Rs written by CD Writer or CD-View cannot be accessed from some CD-ROM drives

Unfortunately, there is no general solution to this problem. The CD-ROM drive must be able to read CD-XA tracks and recognize multiple sessions. Sometimes, certain CD-ROM / CD recorder combinations cause problems, e.g. the NEC 6-speed drive CDR502 cannot read disks created with a Yamaha CDR100E.

After copying the last audio track I sometimes receive an error message

On some audio CDs the end of the last track cannot be determined exactly. We will watch this problem and will eventually suppress the error message in a future release. The error can be ignored.

Are pauses between audio tracks avoidable - Disk-at-Once?

Since RSJ CD Writer does not (yet) support Disk At Once, the 2 second break between audio tracks is not avoidable.

Can I create single track CDs using the RSJ CD Writer Filesystem?

No. Due to the nature of our CD Writer file system one track has to be reserved for the primary volume descriptor; this track is written when the session is finalized.

If you want to copy data CDs into a single track on the target CD, you can use CD View or Copy Wizard instead. CD View creates a 1:1 copy of the source CD; this also applies to the number of tracks on the target CD.

Why do some CD ROM drives read audio tracks with single speed?

Some CDROM drives only support single speed for reading audio tracks. This is a hardware specific limitation.

When I copy audio tracks from my Philips CDD2600 to the hard disk some tracks contain errors.

This is due to an hardware malfunction of the CDD2600. This model usually copies the first tracks ok, while later tracks contain errors. To avoid this, you have to adjust single reading speed (1x). To do so, adjust the recording speed in the target CD View window (not in the one for the CDD2600) to "1x".
