Hiya, just Googled my way here and hoping someone can help...

A mate dropped round his CD Graphic/Karaoke collection and a pile of CD-Rs, and asked me to make copies of them as some of the originals are getting pretty scratched up from use, and it's easier for him to own a back-up of a disc than keep replacing the original...

I don't really know much about the format, but figured I could make a CD-to-CD copy in Nero, which I tried, but when I try playing the backed-up copy on our DVD/Karaoke player only the audio will play (the graphics play fine with the original disc, though).

So I've kind of stumbled at the first hurdle. Is there a simple way of copying a CD Graphic disc onto a CD-R? Or, if the way isn't so simple, could someone give me simple directions (what with me not knowing anything about the format, I'm just trying to do a favour for a CD burner-less friend...)

Thanks a lot! :wavey:

Damn, never mind. Had a read around, gave CDRWIN a go, tried 3 different CD burners but none seem to be able to read/write CD+G data...

And I don't fancy buying a fourth CD burner as a favour...

Oh well.

Try the help pages at the karaokeplayground.co.uk, they are free again and you do not have to buy another burner.You will need mp3 toolz and cdrwin or audiograbber(my preferred method). A cdrom can extract cdg without being able to read and play cdg.

hi muteme
backing up an origonal karaoke cdg
what cd burners do you have leave a reply on here
only certain readers are compatible with cdrwin for extracting the cdg file to bin file
if they have been converted to mp3+g files any cdrom will read them
let us know so we can advise :) :)

clone cd and disc juggler will back up cdg discs with most cd writers.with clone cd use the multimedia option for copying the image.
