Yes Thomas,
But have the CDs been verified in the same pass? If not then how do
you know that there is not a write error?
I can't say that a verification routine has been run. Something
for me to check into.
And is XP using packet writing (I do not recall). If so this is not
as reliable as real burning a disk at once. Is the disk finlaized?
If not, this is not reliable.
Again, if you don't know then it would be reasonable for me to
know, a non developer? But until you've verified your questions
then neither of us know so the question is only a defensive moot
developer question to me.
The disk is finalized. How do I know, because it tells me that
it's readying the disk and finalizing it for use.
Have you ever burned a CD with Windows XP. The reason I ask, your
questions are those of someone who hasn't done this before with
this OS. The questions are too basic.
What if you have 2 gig of files to archive to CD. How do you fgiure
out where to make the split? THAT is a PITA. AC does this
automatically. And it writes an index onto the CDs (even from most
RAW files).
Now I know why you consider it a PITA, you ask too many questions.
If it burns and I can load the file up into my post processor, then
I'm happy. You're sounding like a salesman, not an end user. If
people don't backup their images, then they don't have a backup,
period.
You stated that it was a PITA. I pointed out that it wasn't. Now
a flurry of tech questions that has nothing to do with the actual
process of is the process a PITA. It's not. Now if you want to
raise a reliability issue, that's a horse of a different color.
But state your concern in the manner of, well it may not be a PITA
but the reliability factors are a concern of mine and that's why
I'm selling this product.
Clearly there are many ways to burn CDs. In my experience, none
satisfied me and that is why I developed AC.
And I want you to buy my product.
As a trained sales person, the most effective tool in my arsonal of
sales techniques are to introduce doubt in the consumer. It's such
a powerful sales technique that I feel it's unethical to use this
tool. I refuse, in my sales endevors, to introduce doubt in my
customers. If I ask a question, I can answer that question. I
make no statement that I can't answer and if I can't answer the
question, I tell my customer that I don't have the answer. "I
don't know." is my direct answer.
If XP works for you then by all means you should use it. I am not
trying to convince you or anyone of any specific method being
better or not. AC provides an alternate method of burning CDs
tailored for photographic images that is easy and reliable, in a
way that I feel is better than other methods. That is why it was
created.
And has there been any commentary about Windows XP being unreliable
as to the burning of CD's?
That's why your comment about developing the product. Your comment
was that it was a PITA and I countered the comment by showing how
easy it was and that it wasn't a PITA.
For those that feel that they have other means as good, then by all
means they should not buy AC. We should each use the tools that
work well for us. I might just note that for many people, they did
not understand the strength and ease of AC until they tried the
demo.
And according to you, you didn't understand the strength and ease
of using Windows XP's built in, part of the program, CD burning
program. I brought it too your attention and you've shown nothing
to show that the program is not a good program.
You say you're not selling but yet here's another sales pitch that
they should try the demo. Why try the demo unless the point is to
buy the product.
Please don't do this to me. You've been a very nice person but
you're crossing the line with this deceptive ploy of I'm not
selling but try my demo. You're clearly trying to promote your
program. This is fine, but at least say the truth, which is,
you're promoting your program to the forum.
Most importantly, people should be archiving their valuable umages.
THAT is the crucial item. If AC can help, then great.
And if they can use the programs built into their OS, for no
charge, than terrific.
Do you have any documented reason why people should not use Windows
XP's CD burning program to reliably back up their images to a CD-R?
I have to do that myself; in pencil of course
