Paul, |
12 |
I'm late to the discussion. My apologies. |

If you have time and still have interest then try opening a |
15 |
terminal and doing the following as root: |
16 |
|
17 |
1) Remove all CD and do the following: |
18 |
|
19 |
|
20 |
MacMini # cdda2wav |
21 |
No target specified, trying to find one... |
22 |
Using dev=1000,1,0. |
23 |
Type: ROM, Vendor 'MATSHITA' Model 'DVD-R UJ-845 ' Revision 'D8PB' MMC+CDDA |
24 |
load cdrom please and press enter |
25 |
|
26 |
If the device it found is reasonable then note the numbers. If it |
27 |
finds no device that's something completely different. |
28 |
|
29 |
2) Assuming it found a device then do the following commands: |
30 |
|
31 |
cd |
32 |
mkdir test1 |
33 |
cd test1 |
34 |
cdda2wav dev=1000,1,0 -vall -B -Owav -paranoia -speed=6 |
35 |
|
36 |
Paranoia is optional but I'd suggest keeping it as it checks for |
37 |
things that would effect copying and playing a CD perfectly. Speed=6 |
38 |
is slow but is what I use for copies on this specific machine. I find |
39 |
that different drives work far better when run slowly. |
40 |
|
41 |
If the process works it will copy the audio CD to wave files in this |
42 |
directory. If there are problems then post the results back to the |
43 |
list and we'll attempt to deal with them. I will say that nearly all |
44 |
of my drives have required at one time or another firmware upgrades. |
45 |
Once we know what's in your machine and whether you have Windows or OS |
46 |
X on the machine then we can determine if you can even do a firmware |
47 |
upgrade. |
48 |
|
49 |
Hope this helps, |
