trouble with cdrwin- please help!! - Club CDFreaks

troi22 · 07-02-2002

hi.
im trying to copy protect my cds using the cdrwin method thats mentioned in the cd mediaworld article.
http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware...otect_cd.shtml

I have cdrwin 3.8f(cracked) and a yamaha crw2200e drive.

i follow the instructions exactly and then get the message Error Start DAO recording: command failed on device 1:1:0. Unable to set disc parameters. I am not using RAw mode to write the discs. What is going wrong?

I also tried the different software like CdrProtect and the other software mentioned in the article but the instructions arent clear. Has anyone successfully copy protected a cd? How?

(sorry this is so long. im just so frustrated)

ok so i solved my initial problem by using the aspi drivers that were in my computer instead of the ones supplied with cdrwin. but i even though i cant copy the cd using cdrwin or nero i can still copy the contents using windows explorer. is there any way to stop this?

If it's an Audio CD, use an automatic program, they are usually very good.

If it is a Data CD, and you wrote the code on it, disable to the program if the dummy track is not there.

If it is a Data CD that you made of files you downloaded, etc., encrypt them, write a program that checks if the dummy track is there, and if it is, will decrypt and run them.

I am working on a slightly more advanced, automatic version of this to give away as a CD-Protector.
