I posted once before and got nothin.I will try again.
And please if any ideas I am listenin.
I have an HP 7200i cdburner for one of our rigs.
Let me make sure I am on the right page here.
To install a drive you do not need to install anything else as far as drivers if windows sees your drive(Vegas sees it as well) right?
Windows supplies the drivers right?
In win 2000?

ok. If yes then this is where I am at.
When I go to burn from time line I get a disc completed ok but when I try to play it in anything it just sits and spins then jumps to a section of the song.
Like there is something wrong at the start of the cd.
Any ideas?This is an 8 song cd being burned.
Please guys give a guy a chance to figure this out.
Anyone?
Sonic must be on vacation this week.

I have made a few audio CDs with VV3. My first couple were terrible ( long silence between songs etc...) It sounds like you may have your track marks layed out incorrectly. Put just one xong on time line and add track by events and see if that works ok.

Thanx for the response.
I tried this as well.
Does yours leave a 2 second gap at beginning of first song on time line?
Mine does not do this if supposed to.???
Thanx again.;-)

Maybe I should try an hp8200i from my other rig?
Odd still since it will pull in cd trax from within vegas.Just seems like vegas is not writing correctly to the drive just at the beginning of the disc.Shows all songs but will still sit and spin then jump into a song.
Still at aloss.
:(

Unless you've already done so, older cd-writers almost always require a firmware update.

Red book standard calls for a mandatory 2 second "leader" when burning an Audio CD. Most CD authoring software takes care of that, (ei, Easy CD Creator, CD Architech, etc. All the CDs I've burned with VV3 are flawless, so VV3 must be taking care of that. I just lay out .wav files alternating across two tracks on the timeline in case I want a cross fade or no silence at all, then I locate the cursor to the beginning of each event (audio file) and press "n" to insert a "pq" code or song start.

Thanx again!!

I don't have VV3 yet but I've used CD architect in the past. You can manipulate CD Architect to eliminate the 2-second gap and even overlap the songs by drag and drop. VV3 was said to have CD architect built on it. Can someone confirm on this?

Somebody wanted to know if VV3 has CD Architech built in. Well, yes it does the same thing, but I've discovered 2 problems so far. 1. In burning multible CDs, you have to wait for the drive to be ready before you click OK, or you have to keep clicking,its quite tedious if you're making 20 copies, with CD Arch you click OK, walk away and the burn starts by itself; 2. VV3 can't print out the track list and times from within the program.

Just a thought on your original question ....
You don't have to do anything to your system to have it recognize and
use a CD-ROM drive, other than plug it in and make sure the master /
slave jumper is properly set. Windows has all the drivers it needs built
in already.

However, to use a CD-RW drive for writing, you DO have to install the
drivers that came with that drive. Without those drivers, all you can do
with a CD-RW drive is read CDs. If you can write at all, it's probably
because windows is trying to use drivers you already had installed from
a previous drive. So yes, you should install the drivers for the current
drive you are using. Using the incorrect drivers may be causing some of
the problems you're having.

Chien and all thanx again for input.
I can actually record with adaptec cd creator on same computer if that makes any sense.Previous drive was just a standard drive.No burner.
