Any experience with karaoke discs
| # | Post |

| 1 | I've got a karaoke player with one optical disc of songs (CD+G format presumably). I cannot access the disc contents on my pc. The best I can do is get a bin file but cannot read the file. Apparently not optical drives can read karaoke discs. bit - 2021-01-03 14:43:00 |
| 2 | Can't you make an iso of it then write the iso to another disk? nice_lady - 2021-01-03 15:59:00 |
| 3 | You don't have to OPEN the file to make an iso, the computer just had to be able to read the binary files off the disk. Edited by nice_lady at 4:02 pm, Sun 3 Jan nice_lady - 2021-01-03 16:02:00 |

| 5 | I may be able to do that. But I would like to be able to to access the contents so I can examine the file structure of the disk and make future disks with our favourites. bit - 2021-01-03 16:30:00 |
| 6 | Umm... I dunno. Google how to convert/create karaoke disk ? nice_lady - 2021-01-03 16:33:00 |
| 7 | Yeah, I'm going around in circles. bit - 2021-01-03 16:47:00 |
| 8 | apparently this rips from cdg so at least that would give you the contents king1 - 2021-01-03 17:14:00 |
| 9 | Thanks but it doesn't see the tracks on the disc. It only sees one 782.74Mb track. bit - 2021-01-03 18:12:00 |
| 10 | I wonder if there isn't an issue with the disk then, or it's not actually CDG... from the version history ... Better tracklist detection. Edited by king1 at 6:21 pm, Sun 3 Jan king1 - 2021-01-03 18:20:00 |

Imagine if you invested a million dollars licensing original music and then recouped it disk by disk selling your creation, only to have people ripping it and making free copies? gyrogearloose - 2021-01-03 19:58:00 |
| 12 | Yeah could be. bit - 2021-01-03 22:12:00 |
| 13 | bit wrote: the .bin is a disk image format much like .iso format. It is a file format that is created after the cd has been imaged/cloned to a file on the hdd ie one file of the entire cd Edited by king1 at 10:45 pm, Sun 3 Jan king1 - 2021-01-03 22:43:00 |
| 14 | Seems to be that karaoke discs don't follow the normal rules king1. Cannot mount the .bin image. bit - 2021-01-04 06:11:00 |
| 15 | I don't think you need to, I would have thought you could just chuck the cd in the drive and point audiograbber to the CD drive. king1 - 2021-01-04 10:27:00 |
| 16 | That's what I was saying I'm regards to iso nice_lady - 2021-01-04 11:43:00 |

| 18 | What was the error ? nice_lady - 2021-01-04 20:41:00 |
| 19 | i guess another possibility is the optical drive in your PC doesn't support the CDG format king1 - 2021-01-04 21:37:00 |

| 22 | I have Power SCDG Ripper. When I click refresh I get "Cannot find cvmd0001.dat at specified location." I tried to create an image file, sector by sector with ImgBurn. It created an image but I couldn't mount it. I'm sure they are CDG files on the disc. When it's in the player a video background will play and you can select song by number. While the song's playing the video continues indepently (which piques my curiosity because my reading on CDG files says they consist of audio plus graphics. The lyrics are the graphics. When this disc is in the lyrics file is superimposed over the video file.) I guess it's encrypted. bit - 2021-01-05 18:51:00 |
| 23 | could be - someone interesting info here - talks about encrypted formats towards the end king1 - 2021-01-05 19:21:00 |
| 24 | So if you made a sector by sector copy of the disk why would you need to "mount" it? You should be able to directly burn it to another disk. Then at least you'll have a backup of your precious disk right? If you then try to play it as a test and it works - success. Yes In think you wanted to make your own mix and match disks. That's another situation. Just tell us if you can burn a backup or not. You don't have to 'mount' an iso to burn it. nice_lady - 2021-01-05 20:38:00 |
| 25 | I can't mount it as when I try it says the disc image file is corrupted. I was able to make a new disc out of the image however. So that's not a total loss. :) bit - 2021-01-06 22:11:00 |
| 26 | and it plays ? nice_lady - 2021-01-07 04:39:00 |
