    On the 8 track of the Allman Brothers Idewild South, they padded the last "program" so there wasn't so much empty space by repeating the section of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" from the drum break until the end.

    For the October 1 branch nightly release, these fixes were included:

  11. Re:Not really on DVD Burner Comparison · · Score: 1

    If you go to CDfreaks you will see people rate Ritek highly.

    You must not have visited the media forum in a long time. Ritek, especially the G05, is considered junk by most. They used to be considered good, but that has changed. There are reports of Ritek G05s becoming unreadable a few weeks after being burner.

    But which Ritek? Ritek makes lots of different versions with highly different prices.

    If you look at the PI/PO scans in the media forum, the MID (Media ID code) is clearly shown. Learn to read these scans, you'll learn a lot.

    First off, good call on "don't use beta in production!"

    If the definitions are the problem, I expect the same thing would happen even if the program was not a beta.

    Labels can be bad too.

    This is true. I had several CDs I had burned a few years ago that were unreadable. I removed the labels by soaking the disc in isopropyl alcohol and after that, I had no problem reading the discs.

  25. Re:Working fine for me on The Verdict on WinXP SP2? · · Score: 1

    It's working fine for for me too. I first installed it on an existing XP box, and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to an Athlon 64 and installed XP with SP2 slipstreamed. The only problem I had in that case was with an older version of ZoneAlarm. I upgraded it and have had no problems other than a few apps that barf if DEP is on. Instead of making exceptions, I just don't run them, since none were that important.
