great hint break,
welcome here! :D

feurio is only for audio,don't?...
no matter cos this feature to read
"test real capacity of a particular CD-R/CD-RW" is cool!
:wink:

...break?
( or better: great hint "going") :)

Hi Jorel,

How Feurio's capacity-test works: You define the amount of dummy-file
in kiloBytes (should be slightly more than you expect that your CD-R
media can hold) which will be generated by the prog and a burning-task
will be simulated....Feurio will exactly tell you the position where the
first write-error appeared...so you got the max capacity of your media.

Next step will be to test if your standalone will handle that much of data.

really cool mfb. :wink:
thanks a lot..is a great hint!

i don't use feurio for more than 2 years
and don't remember this features.
maybe the old versions don't do it!

i have the 1.66 version and never install to use.
this version have this features?

thanks in advance!
:D

Hi Jorel,
I got the same version (1.66, year 2002)...
Got to 'Feurio CD Burner' menue 'extras' the second entry will do the
capazity-test for you, give it a try...

Thanks Jellygoose,

The last media-type I didn't tried yet, think I will go out to buy a
DVD-RW this week :wink:

regard, ***mfb***

@mfb:

go to htp://www.cyberhome-help.de for more info on yourt player. There has beena number of different loaders used in the 528 and someone there has a webpage with a lot of stats in these. I think its bullfrog who has collated a lot of info,

Cheers,

Thanks Rhino,

I've been there, but there are so many postings...each saying something
different, so i'am still lost on my way to play recordable DVDs ... :?

thanks & regards, ***mfb***

My Cyberhome 528 had absolutely no problem playing any kind of DVD-R/RW... :roll:
what firmware are you using?

I think if you look for postings by DragonSF in that forum he posted something about creating good DVD's. As I don't have a DVD writer i haven't paid that much attention.

Must of the 528 owners have opted to install 3rd party dvd roms. If i find the postings i'll send on the details,

Cheers,

I'm thinking about getting the Cyberhome CH-DVD550 for 99 euros...
has anyone got experiences with that player? it's supposed to be better than the 528.
is it compatible with all KVCD templates?

I`ve done a firmware-update to 10.1 which was the latest a couple of
month ago, but I don't know the firmware of the DVD-ROM drive inside,
I even don't know the branch...the hidden menue shows a blank entry
for DVD-ROM REV. :?

thank you guys, ***mfb***

There's no CH DVD 550, there's only a CH DVD 505. I own the CH DVD 505 and it's amazing. It's a great player, far better than any other Cyberhome Player. It supports every KVCD Template at every resolution. I don't even use the PAL Resolution (...x576) I use the the NTSC resolution (...x480), to get a smaller filesize.

For 99 € don't hesitate, just buy it.

Hi there,
I am wondering if anyone has bought that lovely Plextor burner? If so, please tell me if this burner supports 90-min CD-R. I really want to know and taste what is it like to have 1260MB (900MB x 1.4) on a SINGLE CD-R.

Just made my first KVCD disk movie: "Unforgiven" in widescreen "letterbox" format, maybe thats why I was able to fit the whole movie on a single 80 minute CDR. Used a KVCDx3 528x480 moviestacker preset for it, set it for a max bitrate of 2200,and a CQ of 70,and streamed it as an mpeg1. Still for some "unknown" reason, had to manually multiplex it in bbmpeg even though I did check the VCD multiplex button in Tok.Anyways, it looked,sounded,and played like a DVD on my Cyberhome CH-500 player...except for the total time elapsed displayed at 80 minutes,but I think I saw the whole movie.Even though I try to get as much info as I can from the forums,its been basically trial and error for me so far.

Can Somebody confirm me how much data (in KVCD mode) fits in 90 and 99 min cds? couse they are easy to find here and they are about 10-35% more expensive. If for 80 Min is 800MB for 90 min is 900? and for 99 990MB??? I don`t think it`s like that but sounds logical :P

Your numbers are correct :D

Cool sometimes logic have place in this world :P

PS: now I`m happy couse I`m gonna be able to fit this WWII documentary (153 Min) in one cd without going under CQ50 :D

Just be careful with the 99 minute CDs :!:
Most players don't play all the way to the end :roll:
That's the comments I keep hearing.

-kwag

I get great pictures with CQ values of 45

With 99min CD my player (Belson 3500) fails since the very first minute :( I haven't tried 90min CD's.
