Disc finalizing: Any thoughts?
1479141
Susan - In my earlier reply to your "finalization" problem, I forgot to mention that, if a program is scheduled to be recorded within 1 hour, then the unit will not allow a disk to be "finalized". (The finalization function will be grayed-out.) You can wait until the scheduled recording has been completed, or change the scheduled recording time temporarly, then set it back after the "finalization" process has been completed.

I think FFP is for Frustration Free Packaging, so there's no difference with the actual hard drive.

5 posts, quality looks good, but looks like you will have to get their bit drive, interesting on the installation, a little more complicated then anticipated. web site may have manual. i would look at that before investing

yes, you can go in and tell everything that is on the disc. as well as naming the disc.

all you're doing is wasting your time. burners have been developed and perfected to handle fast burn speeds. ESPECIALLY for something as old as CDs. you're not getting 'better results' or 'better quality' you're just wasting your time and burning the disc significantly slower than you need to

My larger DiscGear came with software. Because I would have to download for this one, I opted to write them in by hand and decided to do it in pencil.

Glad you asked. Did the same thing to my disc as well, you have to tear the entire thing apart if you want your disc back. =[

It depends on how damaged the disc is. You may or may not need to use the sanding pad first. The step that you will always need is the buffing step using the white solution. I disagree with the other response in that it is very messy. You will get a little bit of the white solution on your fingers, but it is easy to wipe off. The blue solution step is optional. I never use it. After the buffing step I just spray the disc with disc cleaner and wipe it off. It has restored a couple CDs and DVDs that would not play to perfect working order for me.

I can remember if I did or not. I know I had an instruction sheet I will have to look and see if I still have that and if I did have disc. If so I will be happy to send you a copy of the disc or instruction sheet. I had no problem at all transferrin the file from on computer to the other. I will try to contact you through this connection if I do and a get the info send it to you whatever I have.

It is one of those self closing packages. I used some and have stored the rest in the package for future use.

It all depends on what you're going to do. I've used the Power2Go program to make data discs (DVD and Blu-ray), but I mostly use Nero 2014 Platinum for everything else. I guess it's an alright program if you're not going to do anything complicated.

I agree with you there. They have started lumping lots of items together. Different versions and disc formats of movies etc.. There is really a big difference in performance and other factors in hard drives. The larger the drive capacity, the smaller the track when you get to the max number of platters. I doubt they can fit any more platters in this form factor and they are now making 5TB drives! I have always stayed away from capacities that are on the cutting edge. I wait for the early adopters to find the flaws.At least they keep the Q & A separate.

Definitely. I've done the exact thing without problems, also w/other wheels and flap discs. My work is virtually all grinding, so cut-offs might be problematic.

I think it was 1 a finishing disk p 120. I also would recommend purchasing disc from Amazon. I purchased a box of 50 p 80 for a heavy job. I do not recommend getting them from Lowes or Home Depot. Reason being I bought 50 from Lowes and maybe 30 were good, bad velcro backing.

I have not had any trouble with my disc copier, I have not copier a 3 hour dvd, what I have copied came out just fine.

Yes, way too long for DVD-burning! I was surprised they only included the ultilities & driver DVD and we had to burn the rest. I'd have preferred a straight-forward Win 7 64-bit Premium DVD over creating 4 restore DVD's I'll never use (and if I did, it wipes the partition and sets it up to factory settings.)
