Droppix Recorder 2.6.0 - User Guide and FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions - Droppix Recorder

1. The application setup failed. Unable to start Droppix Recorder?
   During the installation process, the user must be logged in as the Administrator or have administrative rights to the workstation.
   
   
2. I have successfully recorded an image file (with sub-channels) using 'DAO/96' write method but I can not read the disc?
   By default, when you burn a disc image to CD or DVD, Droppix Recorder also writes all the available sub-channels. Certain drives are not capable of accurate burning for certain sub-channels (without any visible error) and the discs produced will be partially or totally unreadable.
   
   
3. I inserted a CD-R in my DVD recorder but the gauge always indicates 4.7 Gb?
   By default, Droppix Recorder will display the maximum capacity of the selected CD or DVD drive (4.7 GB for a single-layer drive). To change the display to show the capacity of a CD-R, select the CD option under Parameters > Disc Type. You can also click on the little arrow in front of the display and change disc capacity preferences in the contextual menu.
   
   
4. Recording failed or disc unreadable when using ‘DAO’ write method?
   Your drive does apparently not accurately support this disc writing method. Try burning your disc using the TAO (Track-At-Once) method.
   
   
5. I have got trouble recording an image file (with sub-channels) using 'DAO/96' write method?
   When you record an image file, Droppix Recorder defaultly writes sub-channels information if available. But some CD or DVD recorders do not correctly handle them and recording fails immediately.
   
   Ensure that the Write Sub-Channel option is disabled (Preferences tab) before recording your image file.
   
   
6. The finalization (lead-out) of my CD-RW is increasingly long?
   Your CD-RW is probably at the end of its useful life. You should replace it.
   
   
7. The application setup failed. Unable to start Droppix Recorder?
   During the installation process, the user must be logged in as the Administrator or have administrative rights to the workstation.
