Feel free to add anymore FAQ's that you may have.




Ok here's how to convert MP3+G to a normal CDG disk. Mastermix has written out the following advice.


Firstly you need to install a proggy called MP3G Toolz.
Unzip a karaoke mp3/cdg track into a folder
you can unzip as many as you want but for now while you learn this just do the one.

ok in this folder then you should have .mp3 and a .cdg (you should have you just unzipped them)

RIGHT CLICK the folder NOT the files
an option will appear. Choose mp3g to bin.
the toolz program will now load.
press start

This will now convert both the .mp3 and the .cdg into 1 bin file.
the bin file is what you need to burn.

OK now run cdrwin if you have not got this then download it from goldenhawk free. or off the tools disc i sent

Click on record disc. Then load tracks
make sure you check the cdg box at the top.
Click on add and add the bin file you created. then ok

Turn the max speed down to x2 or x4
any faster and you may end up with a crashed disc where the graphics will be pitted.

thats it now just click on record disc.

WARNING you must have a compatable cdg burner to burn cdg discs.

To rip a cdg disc you must have a compatable cdg reader.

as mastermix says this burner will only do straight copies with the newest version of cdrwin it also does COPIES with discjuggler, i haven't yet tried to compile using discjuggler. you can do compilations using this burner using up to date version of microstudio (which also has a great player) my advice though, if you already have a TDK do what i did and get yourself a yamaha 8824scsi only £75 at worldofcomputers in Glasgow, an unbelievable bargain! it wont PLAY CD+G but will read and write

The following drives will let you copy CD+G:

- All Sony models except the CRX0811 and CRX1611.

- All Yamaha models except the 2100 and 2200 (the 2100/2200 record
CD+G, but reading CD+G does not work with our software).

- All Plextor models.

- All Hewlett Packard models except drives with a model number that
ends with 50 or 90. NOTE: If our software sees the drive and there is a
"b", "c" or "f" at the end of the model #, then it will not do CD+G.
Newer HP drives starting from the 9700 through the 24RI are also
incapable of doing CD+G with our software.

- Also, there are some newer drives from Lite-ON, TDK and LG that say
they support CD+G, we have yet to see one do CD+G properly so they will
remain off the list for now.

If u have a folder with bin files there should be a little cue file in with it, if not, create one with mp3toolz then use nero 5.5.10..... to burn---using the wizard using "other formats" and point it to the cue file when asked, then burn them using almost any recent cdwriter.

[BHD]

if your writer is non compatable/having problems with cdrwin then you can use alcohol 120% after converting mp3+g to.bin files with mp3+g Toolz...
This is a brilliant link that I was kindly referred to...I had my first working cdg no problem (used 8x on a 48x liteon)

i had a real hard time trying to burn cd+g on my panny 105.

people might like to know that you have to install all the Prerequisit downoads for mp3+gtoolz to install then make a que sheet with cue2ccd before burning with clonecd.

its really easy when you know how but had to use 3 or 4 guides and get help from dvdrg members to finaly get it!

I have followed the guide to burning with a non compatable burner but cannot figure out how to use alcohol 120. Can you tell me what I need to do once I open Alcohol, many thanks!!!

[macca75]

How do I go about creating a cue file to burn using alcohol? MP3 TOOLZ claims to do it but i can't seem to create one when I convert from audio+g to BIN, what am I doing wrong?
